Galaxy Note is over 5"!! That's HUGE!! From iPhone 3 to 4S would be a decent upgrade or if you keen on Android take the SGS2. Still the most accomplished of the droid handsets...
 
Much more internal storage 64 GB vs 16 GB 4x more internal storage, which means more music, photos and movies
Significantly newer bluetooth support 4,0 vs 3,0 Typically faster data transfer and lower power consumption connecting to other bluetooth devices
Higher PPI screen 329 PPI vs 284 PPI Around 20% crisper display of text, images and video
Smaller 58x115x9 mm vs 82x146x9 mm Around 50% smaller
More apps available iPhone App Store vs Android App Market The iPhone App Store has over 350 000 apps vs 270 000 (around 30% more)
Lighter 140 g vs 178 g More than 20% lighter
More talk time 14 hours vs 13 hours Around 10% more talk time per battery charge

Reasons to consider the GALAXY Note
3.5G, Google Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
OLED screen Super AMOLED vs LCD The GALAXY Note has a OLED screen, which are generally brighter and more vivid
Much higher resolution screen 1280x800 vs 960x640 Around 70% higher resolution screen
Much more standby time 23,8 days vs 8,3 days Around 3x more standby time, less frequent charging
Significantly faster processor Unknown, 1400 MHz vs Apple A5, 800 MHz More powerful processor, snappier and more responsive (around 80% faster)
Significantly more memory (RAM) 1024 MB vs 512 MB 2x more RAM, typically more responsive and better for multitasking
Significantly larger screen 5,3" vs 3,5" More than 2x larger screen
Faster max data speeds HSDPA (21,1 mbps) vs HSDPA (14,4 mbps) Higher theoretical max data transfer speeds over cell networks (around 50% faster)

Agree with all of the above and that Note really is crazy big. I was at Vodaworld yesterday and was watching someone using a Note on a call... That thing was nearly as big as her head.
 
SGS2 would be my choice.
You have the freedom of choice of Android without being tied down to what Apple want you to do.
 
You get used to the Note's size very quickly. Now it's not big anymore, every other phone just seems puny.

Sent from a Noteworthy Galaxy :D
 
Note, hands down. Its Android with huge screen

I have the SGS2 awesome phone ...but i am now looking to get the galaxy note
 
Nobly replied to my note thread but oh well on what contracts are available on mtn. Anyway, will just get a Bluetooth headset to use with the note so as not to look silly sticking a book to my ear
 
4S.
Both are very good phones, though Apple has the more established App Market.
Even to this day, I struggle to find app on Android, that rival the quality of those on the App Store.

Sometimes I wish I traded my Transformer in for an iPad..

Androids AP market is very rich. Apple has to many workarounds, struggles to play different video formats, and the SA Apple market sucks
Galaxy note is way better, faster and slicker
 
Galaxy Note. Its big in the beginning but you get used to it. Awesome phablet :)

Had an iPad. Sold it. iOS is terrible after using Android.
Android market growing in leaps and bounds and will soon be larger than Apples. There are some dodgy quality apps, but many more that are A grade.

I am using the Android market....
I have also used the App Market..

Based on my personal experience.. Apple App Market wins hands down at the moment.
I'm still trying to find an Android app that's as well developed as PenUltimate on iPad.

Funny, but I can watch all my videos on an iPad without a problem.
;)

This does it for me, in fact I actually find it better than PenUltimate
 
Get the Note, its both a GS2 and Galaxy Tab in one.

UI is VERY fast and smooth, the 1280x800 res 5.3inch Super AMOLED is just beautiful, vibrant and lively, Camera is good, seriously powerful hardware and on top of all that Android and the huge SAMSUNG Mod community are all worth leaving Apple.
