ScottC - how is the Note 8 on the wearable vs. luggable trade-off?
The Intl version would be quite appealing to me but I think the size is just a bit too large to be wearable. For me, wearable is that it fit in a sportcoat/suit pocket.
My Nexus 7 3G fits in 75% of my coat pockets so it makes the cut-off. But anything wider just won't work.
IMO, if someone makes a "wearable" phablet around the Nexus 7 footprint (maybe N7 V2?), SDCard expansion and replaceable battery, they'd clean up.
