I am having Note 2 but I must admit I do not use the S-pen very much, do not like to write by hand either though. That is why Note 3 or Note 4 not into me especially when my Note 2 is working terrific with its new 8500 mah extended battery. I have "only" selected Note-line because they are really damn good phones with big screens, for example, you could easily read email attachments when you are not at your computer. It is really useful to be said.
