Get a free pre pay sim from meteor (and any other networks you're considering) and test out the signal where you live, work and play. You want to see good 3G signal if you're getting a smart phone. I've been with meteor 8 month and I'm very happy with service and signal. I live in Dublin so my experiences will differ from others.

The phones size becomes a non-isse after a couple of hours. It's just like a larger S3, but the screen is very useful for reading/watching videos. I also find it handier for using MS office apps and work email etc. Battery life is excellent - that was the big swayer for me.

Bear in mind, if you want to upgrade in the future you'll probably find it hard to go back to a normal sized screen and this may limit your options somewhat.

The Battery is excellent (Just because of its shear size I'd imagine) the Handwriting recognition is also top notch compared to other similar devices.

One thing I will say. I have an S3 also and the SuperAmoled is far better than the Screen on the Note II. Its Good but just not as sharp.

Also an OtterBox might be an Idea. They Don't bounce very well.

There is a lengthy thread here about it.
I'd say go for it, great phone. Not sure about coverage but if you're on meteor now and have no issue it should eb fine to stay on meteor.
