Nice post Kai, I agree with you. While my 6 inch Sony T-1 is indeed superior with regards to reading outdoors and battery life, in order to use it I have to dig it out of my backpack since it can't fit in my pocket.
Whereas with my Note 2, all I have to do is pull it out of my pocket and I'm reading. If I put the screen brightness all the way, I'm able to read just fine outdoors. The battery life on my Note is outstanding as far as I'm concerned.
I don't have a problem with plugging it in to the charger either at work or at home when I feel it needs a charge, but I can easily read for 3 days before needing to. Why people act like it is such a major inconvenience to plug in a tablet/phone overnight if needed is a mystery to me.
As for the cost of the phone itself, I bought mine outright for 400.00, put a pay as you go T-Mobile simcard in it and loaded up all of my music and 987 books onto it. That right there paid for the phone since I paid considerably more for those and can now take them with me EVERYWHERE I go!
What I find ridiculous is people frown about supposedly straining to read a back lit screen outside, but have no problem doing the same thing in a dark room with a front lit ereader when we aren't designed to read/see clearly in the dark.
As far as I'm concerned its two sides of the same coin, it just comes down to a matter of preference, there is no right or wrong way.
