I love mine (Note 1). It does fit in my jeans pocket just fine. It lives in there with my keys and somehow hasn't been destroyed or scratched.

And the screen is just wonderful. I've only had it a few months and I'm already thinking about whether I can justify getting a Note 2 for my, uh, business needs :)

Phone in the same pocket as your keys!? shudder

And I haven't even got it in a protective case of any sort!

I'm a risk-loving rebel me :)

I never use cases; the last phone I've had any kind of screen damage on was ye olde Nokia E71, by dropping an open pocketknife directly on the face. Said phone is still in use.

wow! better than a tablet (i mean for biz needs) ?

That probably depends what your business needs are. I'm just starting out freelancing/contracting, so my business needs are minimal. I'm just thinking I can maybe justify a business phone (toy) out of pre-tax profits... especially if/when I start making android apps.

I don't own a tablet but the Note has replaced my netbook as casual browsing device, and it's big enough that watching movies or tv episodes on the train or plane isn't uncomfortable. Only real niggle - headphone volume output could be louder.
