A very well rounded and reliable phone.
I've had the phone for about a month and it has seamlessly integrated itself into every facet of my life with work (taking notes during meetings, work email and calendar), school (notes, taking pictures and editing real time for labs and projects, reviewing electronic material for an exam on the go, editing various docs for lab reports) and personal (it isn't too big for one handed text messages and to hold to your head for extended conversations and the camera is great for all sorts of situations). The battery life is the best I've experienced in a smartphone, considering I'm a moderate to heavy user of nearly all it's functions. The pen and software works exceptionally well for creating scrapbooks, notes (two different note apps), drawings and actually illustrating your point on whatever background you currently have up whether it be a photo you just took or the phone's home screen. I've used different pens with different writing programs on the iPad and I must say, Samsung really nailed it with their pen and software, far trumping the iPad's note taking ability. The call quality is clear, however, Sprint's cellular network leaves much to be desired. The phone does have the ability to use WiFi to place and receive calls, although I have not utilized it as of yet. Samsung gives a lot of extras with this phone as they did with the Galaxy S4. Some of the extras are a little gimmicky while others, if not most, are very helpful when fully understood and practiced, giving the device an extra cool factor. The screen, as most others have said, is simply amazing. In just about all lighting situations it remains sharp, clear and crisp, making it that much easier to stay productive and maybe even have fun while doing it. The engineers at Samsung made provisions for the small handed folk by adding features to their software allowing adjustability to most of the main screens one would interface with. I'd definitely recommend this device to everyone who is willing to pay a premium price for a phone.

Best phone yet!!!
I have owned a lot of phones(Palm pilot, treo, pre, HTC evo, evo 3d, note 2) and this by far beats every one of them hands down. Large capacity of phone(32gb+3gb memory) has never had me running into "out of space" issues I have had with other phones. Very responsive, good camera for a phone camera. If someone is complaining about the camera on this then I would suggest they stick with a real camera and not bash this phone camera. It is after all a smartphone first and the camera is just an added plus. Features are beyond what I take full advantage of and if I did use them all, it would probably make the experience with this phone that much better. Some people complain about quality of Samsung phones(ie plastic back, sides etc). However, I have always put a case on my phones, so this has never been an issue with me. Like some others have stated, there are occasionally some issues with call quality. I don't know how much of that is the phone versus Sprint's cell service. I get echos on my calls when I am near my work area, but not so much near my home. Lastly, battery life. This has been the longest lasting battery life on any phone I have owned. There he occasion been occasional times where my battery has drained exceptionally fast, but I would blame that on a bad update for one of my apps rather than on the phone.

Sooooo Nice!
Update - 11/6/13 - I concur fully with those who are over the moon about this phone. Wow! What a device! After fully setting up my N3 I was hearing a clicking every 60 +/- secs. and prepared to return it as defective. When I did the factory reset in preparation, I also did a cache wipe. After rebooting I decided to try it again before sending back. After initial re-setup the clicking sound was gone - perhaps an app phoning home - and my phone is perfect! I love everything about this device and look forward to using it more and more as I learn it. This is the phone I always wanted and the best one I've ever owned.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I waited until I knew a Sprint update for the call issues was imminent and then purchased. OOB my phone had mi3 firmware and the call, garbling issue. Updated it all the way to mj4 and there was a significant improvement. Not perfect but doable. Did a cache clear and the sound is near perfect.Great phone with many surprises, good and bad. Fortunately the good tips the scale heavily. Still learning about it and enjoying the phone immensely. I came from an Evo 4G LTE that I hated. It got to the point it was choice between a new phone or a new windshield/dashboard (could barely keep my self from throwing it, it was that bad). I went with the less expensive option. :)I posted mainly to let those who are review watchers know that the phone is gorgeous, amazingly functional - more than any phone I've ever owned - and FAST. Never had a Samsung phone, though I own other Samsung devices, and it does not disappoint!
