Pretty As Another Picture
The first pictures I saw of the Asus PadNote Fone made it look like an ugly piece of do-not-want, whatever the specs.

Found a better picture.
Want now.
6" 1080p IPS screen, stylus, Android 4.2, 3G, but with an Atom processor rather than Arm. Which does not seem like a sensible choice, at least not until the next-gen Baytrail / Merrifield Atoms come out. But it's the only device even announced so far that has a 1080p+ screen in the gap between 5 and 9 inches. Possibly only 16GB of built-in storage, which is barely adequate, but supports up to 64GB of microSD.

I think the problem here is that it's just too big to be convenient as a phone. My Droid DNA has a 5" screen and I think it's about as big a phone as I could manage. Anything larger would be a problem.
About the stylus: my iPaq has a stylus, and there's a place in the iPaq to store it. That doesn't appear to be the case for this one. If the stylus is loose, it's going to get lost or broken.

I rarely use my phone or either of my big tablets (Nexus 10, iPad 3), but use my Nexus 7 constantly. So I'm looking for something that will be a tablet 98% of the time and isn't much smaller than the Nexus 7, but can make phone calls when needed. I'm sure most people will have other priorities, but Samsung has sold millions of Galaxy Notes, so it's not that small a market segment.
It does have a little bay for the stylus, it's just in the corner that you can't see in that photo.

I was going to say, the Galaxy Notes have a stylus bay exactly where you can't see in that pic.
It's pretty nice. The phone knows when you've removed or inserted it, and will give you haptic feedback.
