Is it a phone? Is it a tablet? Why not both? Samsung‘s newly announced, super-sized Galaxy Note features a whopping 5.3-inch screen. With the Dell Streak 5 out of the picture, this epicly screened device goes virtually unrivaled. The display is a beauty and not just for its size — its incredible quality has gotten praise from tech geeks far and wide. But how does the hugeness of this mobile actually feel in the hand? Could you use it as a phone without feeling like you’ve hauling around a slab? And what’s up with stylus?

Answers to these questions and more can be found in the clip, taken at IFA 2011. So take a look at the hands-on vid and tell us whether you think this hybrid is hot or not.
