Getting very anxious for the UK release now. I would flash but don't want to have to back up and get everything set up again.

I'm actually starting to think that we won't get it until June/July time. Last year the s2 got ics around March time and they got jelly bean at the same time this year. Last year the note got ics in June/July so I'm thinking maybe they will keep to the same schedule.

I hope not, but sounds logical. I found this thread with a search after reading in the past months about the Note getting 4.1. I sit here not so patiently waiting....

I wonder if there was some issue when the UK release was in testing and it had to go back to the devs. I say that because of the manual that was posted before any of the official releases makes it seem like it was ready. Anyway I am waiting to hear what comes out of IO and then getting something new from Google for better updates. Either Xphone or N4. Mostly hoping for 32GB N4.

Vodafone UK update is now available. Hopefully the sim free update for UK is also released soon.

Kinda weird that the locked version would get the update first before the international version. Judging by the pattern of previous updates of course.

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 for a moment: "If this update doesnt get here soon, I'm gonna have to wait some more!"

I have a UK sim free N7000. I finally started up Kies to check for an update. There was apparently an update, but Kies showed a blank description for it and would not actually perform the update until I first updated Kies. I was then able to update to Jelly Bean successfully. Mixed feelings right now on the JB update. If anything it feels slightly more sluggish and TouchWiz is now over the top and unacceptable. I was using Action Launcher and will probably go straight back to that, but the menus are hideous and why is my status bar gray!? It is as if Samsung is trying to hide any part of stock Android with ugly.

Got my jelly bean update (unlocked UK note) over the air this morning. So far it seems an improvement but I haven't had much time to check everything out yet. The only annoying thing was that all my home screens were deleted during the update so I'm slowly trying to get my phone back into an acceptable state.

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.

For those whos from UK that just got their JB, congrats and have fun. Mine was so lag after the update, I had to reset my phone but everything went smooth after that. Im using nova launcher because touchwiz is just absolutely hideous. Even after jb update.

Did you try the Samsung backup and restore? I figured I need to reset, but it is going to be a pain to get everything back to what I like. Just wondering if the Samsung backup is any good and if it doesn't cover anything. Thanks

No I didn't. I only backup my contact and messaging. I manually backup my picture videos and music. And I have to re download all of my apps. This is when I envy root users. Like titanium backup that can backup your phone image.
