Galaxy Note users; how do you exercise with it?

This time last week I was pleasantly happy with my Samsung Captivate, but yesterday I dropped it on my way to the gym and it landed right on the screen and it's cracked beyond repair. Fortunately, my contract was up and it's time for me to get a new phone. My choices are the Skyrocket S II or the Note.(I'm aware the Galaxy S3 is going to be out very soon in the US, but do I or should I wait?)

The Skyrocket from what I've seen is an updated version of what I currently have. My phone was pretty fast since I updated it so the only thing I get out of it is a screen that works.

The customer service guy then showed me the Note. I thought it was too big at first until I got my hands on it, and well, I love it. The problem I have with it is that I'm doing a lot of running and I'm afraid this phone would just be too big to use in the gym or outside. Can anyone with this phone share there experiences or should I just wait until the S3 is released and get the S2 after the price drop?

Honestly, I don't want a new phone I was happy with the Captivate so it's a sad day for me.
