I'm seriously considering buying this phone/tablet but I'm a little worried about one-handed use because of its size. Are there any videos of somebody dialling a number with one hand on this thing?
Lack of a keyboard is also a minus but I guess the extra large keys will help.

What about this as a keyboard:

I'm considering this phone or galaxy ii or nexus together with this wireless keyboard.

One thing I like about the iPhone 4S is that I can by a Nuu or Boxwave keyboard which essentially converts it into the N900. Blasphemy, I know.
I would buy something similar for the Note in a heartbeat.

wow, yes, these are nice too. I thought I saw an n900 picture when I first saw the pictures 
Maybe we can urge these keyboard manufactures to come up with some sort of generic keyboard+phone holder for all kinds of phone models...

As I don't think I will be able to test this device, I cut a piece of leather (5mm thick) with the Galaxy Note dimensions, and I does not seem uncomfortable in the pocket (I can not 'feel' the weight though).
I did the same for the Galaxy Nexus and that one really seems the perfect size. It is almost the same height, just 'thinner'.
I'm still deciding...

Ha! I did the exact same with same two device dimensions, but using thick (corrugated) cardboard.
after a week of looking at both, I'm quite happy with the note's size - even holding it up to my ear no longer seems so stupid as it first did :-)
the note is supposed to go on sale in UK tomorrow (2nd Nov) so I'll have a trip to Carphone Warehouse to see if they've got a demo model to play with ....

To test width I opened my n900 keyboard and held it in portrait. Is that near the width of the Note?

Or, wait for usb activated kernel in the Tab and hope that ICS might make styli work better on its surface.
Or, wait and buy the Note when it's less expensive
