If you can live with the size then I'd go for it.

I would say make sure you can live with the size and weight of it as it is a big bugger and 2 years is a long time if you do find it to big. I loved the original Note but passed to my wife because of the weight and it was difficult to manage when I was running. The 1520 does look nice though.

I am probably going to get a Ativ S to go with my Nexus. How have you found yours?

hi finbaar

the Samsung ativ is a good phone, only issue i have the battery not lasting all day, did try a replacement battery but it performed worse,
its just im at the upgrade time, so have been looking, i do like the windows phone, so that's now limiting my choice as only Nokia have new handsets. but there's a bigger choice on android so still unsure what to do.
