Tomorrow will be a week and I can say the following:
1. I still like it and have not flashed back. My feeling is still that everything is slicker and faster with ICS.
2. I have had some freezes - biggest offender is DrawSomething. Not frequent and so far for me, not a deal breaker. Freeze usually resolves to back to the home screen after a moment. No restarts yet or battery pulls.
3. I have put the new Chrome Browser on and LOVE that it syncs with my desktop Chrome. Wish I could put this on my GT 8.9 - but it only works with ICS.
4. After reading around some I added Nova Launcher and this is the best launcher I have used in my short Android career. You need ICS for Nova and it works great. Very customizable. If you did the flash to ICS I wholeheartedly recommend you try it.
My biggest complaint is about Voice Talk, a program I use more than anything else on my phone. It used to come on when I turned on my bluetooth on Gingerbread. Now even though I have it set to turn on when bluetooth connected I still have to do it manually. The Voice Talk that comes in ICS feels like a hybrid - hear two different voices when running the program. It feels like I am repeating a bit more on the ICS Voice Talk version.
Finally 2 apps I like HBO Go and ScreenSlider by Redfly still dont work on ICS on the Note, hoping for updates soon there.
So overall I still very much like ICS on the Note I think it makes a great phone even better.
