I just want to say that word all day, Phablet.
I'll be honest. I didn't want to let my BlackBerry go, primarily because of the QWERTY keyboard. I've written pages and pages worth of posts on the BlackBerry and at a speed that I know I will never achieve using a touchscreen. My Samsung tablet is touchscreen and I suck at using the keyboard. My tablet is also not a phone and I don't have a text plan. I still need a mobile device.
My original BlackBerry died 18 months into my 3-year term. Rogers sent me a god-awful LG replacement phone that I promptly returned. My friend Sandra gave me her old Curve, but despite paying for a 1G data plan, the browser never works, Twitter crashes, the lock button fails and the battery life is terrible. I kept asking myself, what the hell am I paying almost $60 a month for? I was grateful my friend could help me out but knowing I was paying for services the phone couldn't handle was making my bank account scream.
Say what you want about Rogers, but after clubbing a seal to make a better deal, they came through for me seeing as I had 12 months to go on my BlackBerry term and moved me to a Samsung Galaxy Note resulting in a difference of $7 less a month and finally, a browser that works.
So now this phabulous girl has a phabulous Phablet. Boo ya.

You'll love it. I have its baby brudder, the Samsung Galaxy S III. One of my co-workers has the Note and let me play around with it before I went shopping. They work almost the same.
The touch screen takes some getting used to, but that will come. Easy for me to say... the girl who always misses an "n" when she's typing. heh heh.
Hope it's phabulous for you.
iPhone?
Oy. Hell no.
Bicky, I am sooo looking forward to it.
Hi CJ! I've had my iPhone for almost 6 months now and still take forever to type anything. I had a simple phone with slide out keyboard before and LOVED it. Really missing it. But it had no web/data.
I know I'm going to hate the lack of a keyboard. This will take some getting used to.
I have the Note 2... it stands above the Note and the S3... and beats the living shit outta iPhone 5. My only problem is the huge size so I won't end up keeping it for long.
I'm not brand loyal, more feature loyal. There are pros and cons to all the phones out there.
I actually like the size of the Note. It does feel like I'm holding a book to my ear though
You would have loved the new BlackBery Z10... the touch keyboard is regarded as the best of the best. I type faster on the touch Z10 touch screen than I did on my BB 9900!
Yup, you would have loved the z10.
I tried out the Z10 in-store. I really liked the Note better and to this day, remain very content with my choice. :-)
