So it's been two months now with my Z and I can honestly say it's been as dependable as I'd hoped, more so than Samsung, my experiences with which were very mixed, although I do like their phones. I still love the design of this thing, still loathe the battery, and I know that we'll be together...

I've only been a week now with my Z, having had to urgently replace a.G-Note that suffered sudden death last week. I had always been attracted to the Z for its stylish design and water and dust resistance, but was happily holding out for the "Honami" - until my beloved Note croaked it. So yes my...

Just got my Z on Three UK and it came with 4.2.2 already on board :-) Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2

The only way in which the iPhone is a winner in gaming terms is in the far more comprehensive range of titles available, and so remains for me one of the only tangible ways in which I miss iOS. Yes Android is getting there and there are certainly many top titles available now, but I still miss...

I'm running the Original Note here on 4.1 and still using Flash, but I believe this is something to do with legacy use. I've had it installed on my phone since it was new on 2.3. Flash is just no longer available to install anew from the Play store that's all, and is no longer supported afaik...

This is looking like one gorgeous piece of kit. I've been a Galaxy man for a long time and am eager to see what Samsung has in the offering for the next Note. I would also like to see what Sony comes up with to supercede the Xperia Z - if as rumoured it's the Honomi it also might be worth...

I'm still rocking the original Note over here, and only now looking towards its eventual replacement (battery life stinks after JB update, and I've never been able to use it while on charge as it discharges too quickly in use - as a heavy user I do always carry a spare battery but the batteries...

It's (almost) a Nexus but with a 1080p display, removable battery and sd card... And no doubt unavailable in the UK for the foreseeable future. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

Yes the media app draining battery does now seem to have settled down but I'm still seeing more activity from the OS and system than I was used to. Today I have run one battery down mostly by watching the F1 Gp on CatchUp TV and have achieved over three hours of screen time on about 4.5 hours of...

Hi. After grumbling for months about the long wait for Jellybean to come to the international Galaxy Note here in the UK it is with mixed feelings that I report back here now after the upgrade. Although overall I am loving the OS upgrade and the Samsung features that came with it -well, most of-...

Finally came through: unlocked international model in UK, but it didnt push the update i had to search for it. Otherwise all is cool. Now as the guy above says: time to rearrange my desktop and apps how I had them before. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

I have the international Note in the UK and there's no update through yet. I wonder why some unlocked Notes are getting it and not mine. Strange. And stranger still that someone above should say that their UK carrier locked model has already received the goodies. To paraphrase Cheech and Chong...

I have just replied to this exact same question, as an Android user, over on the MacRumors forums. There I said that in the case of Android the whole user experience should figure above individual concerns such as material build and screen size. I speak as a very happy Note user for whom...

I think that Galaxy S4 has hit the target bang on. It is a refined and evolved SIII, which was a clear hit in anybody's book. Why would a multinational corporation like Samsung mess with a formula that clearly works just to please a minority of tech snobs? Personally I think this phone will be...

Have a good old moan and carry on ;-) Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

I think I agree that there is no actual "best" Android phone on the market at the moment because the current crop of flagship models do manage to cater for a range of tastes and needs. I personally am rocking the original Note and as things stand it is and so shall remain for a while longer more...

THIS. Battery life is the number one gripe of all modern smartphones. If you look at them purely as phones battery life is crap when compared with the battery life of yesterday's dumbphones. However when looked as pocket computers largely taking over many of the roles hitherto associated with...

Yeah I don't mind references to "Google phones" but they should keep the little green mascot. Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

By all accounts we're going to be getting many of the Premium Suite features from the Note 2, which makes me wonder, slightly bumped up hardware specs aside, what would be so special then about the Note 2- especially as the original Note is still on sale in some places, and for a lower price...

I don't know about it's availability elsewhere but here in the UK I use a app called Catch Up TV which essentially gives us Live mobile access to the complete range of Freeview TV channels and a few extras besides. Also FilmOn is good now but only after a recent update. Sent from my GT-N7000...
