<\/a><\/center>I was not shy when I first reviewed<\/a> Samsung’s (005930<\/a>) Galaxy Note “phablet” early last year. In a piece titled “The smartphone that ‘Samsunged’ Samsung<\/a>,” I said the Note had taken things way too far and I called for the death of the smartphone-tablet hybrid category. It did not die. Later in 2012, I reviewed the Galaxy Note II<\/a> and even though it was a top performer, I still had no idea who would want to buy such a massive cell phone. Then Samsung sold 5 million of them in 60 days<\/a>. Apparently, it’s time for me to get on board.<\/p>\n
