NC_Girl, another vote for Note 8. I have the original Galaxy, about 2.5 years now and still use it because has 3G. The 8 does not, it's major con in my opinion. Bought it at BB, but it's on sale at Sam's $379, as well as AMazon. Also have the Asus Infinity which is pretty much gathering dust as I've been so impressed with the Samsung. The stylus makes it for me. I do use mine for work--we have new electronic records () and it works very well. Fits in my jacket pocket. The stylus has a lot of fun features (turn it into a calligraphy pen, etc) as well as being handy at bringing the screen back to life. If you hover over an icon, it will bring up the title, etc. Love it. Rather have a color other than white, but just happy I got it, and it's my BYOD of choice.
