You can pick up the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for a considerable discount in time for Christmas. Amazon is offering the phablet for $149.99 with new service of $199.99 for upgrades.
If you've been on the fence about trading in your smartphone for a phablet, there's no better choice than the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Its 5.7-inch 1080p display is large enough to make watching movies on your smartphone an enjoyable experience without feeling cramped when compared to a traditional smartphone screen. The Galaxy Note 3 is also the only phablet currently on the market that ships with a stylus and software that can transcribe your handwriting into typed text. The S Pen works like a traditional stylus, but through the use of software Samsung has built into the Note 3 and many third party applications, you're able to capture images, quickly jot down telephone numbers that can automatically be added to your address book, hover above messages for previews, and more.
Verizon is currently charging $299.99 for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 online and in retail stores, but a new deal from Amazon has the phablet priced at $149.99 for new service and $199.99 for upgrades.
