Samsung Galaxy SIII vs Samsung Galaxy Note II?

[Amy]

I am looking for a new phone and contract as well as a device for my job - I am an inventory clerk so need osmething I can record a report on but esy enough to walk round with in hand for at least two hours.

I have two options

1) To get a Galaxy S3 on contract as a phone and for personal use, then get a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 for business use. This is the most expensive option and although the Tab is bigger and will need to be carried around work, it doesn't have to carried around on social occasions or holidays.

The two things I am worried about with getting the note is 1) is it too big to carry around as a normal phone regularly in a handbag - socially and for business and 2) is the screen big enough to be able to carry out reports (it is on a web based program)

Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated
Sorry I lefat out my second option by accident!

To Just get a Note II for business and social use rather than 2 separate devices
