I am sure the Note would be worth the money IF I needed a phone. But I work from home, and most of the time (say, 99%) I am in the range of a wifi network. The GSM reception at my place is very poor, I can get SMSes, and make some broken voice calls if the stars are right. Data is almost a no go.

Anyway, I am very happy with the Galaxy Player, the only thing I wish it had was better cameras, The back and front cameras are OKish for Skype, but worthless for anything else. And maybe 1Gb of RAM, although 512 seems to be satisfactory.
