Not really a phone but a phablet. I like the idea of being able to run 
windows software anywhere I can get cell coverage and have access to all my 
data.

The Samsung Ativ Tab 3 is a thin and light tablet that features a full-blown 
Windows 8 and runs on an Intel Atom chip. A separately sold keyboard book 
cover transforms it into a better productivity tool and with built-in S Pen 
and S Note 2 application, it has its creative appeal. Additionally, it has a 
dedicated SIM card slot enabling 3G and 4G cellular connectivity.

I happily put up with the NOTE2 size (5.5" it's a top pocket phone)  as I 
use it in the car for navigation, music and at home for a diary, to do lists 
and several spreadsheets (plus games). It's also easier to find Haha. The 
docking station is great and means its always charged. I would not go back 
to an old style smaller phone again. It's now a productivity item for me. 
The phone 'line' quality is excellent. I use the stylus probably 80% of the 
time.
