Thinking about buying the Samsung Galaxy Note

[randall2580]

The phone was released with GB 2.3.5 and then updated to 2.3.6 because its very stable. I don't know what percentage of folks root/download ROMs to their Android phones but my guess is not a majority. Samsung gave those people a phone that works very well with the services provided. The GNote is pretty slick and for the most part forced closes don't occur.

I can tell you because I have had both ICS leaks on my phone, Samsung wasn't ready to release ICS to the masses at that time. The first release was buggy with a lot of FC. The 2nd is alot better, but I got more FC then you get on stock GB. I do not blame Samsung for wanting to get it right. I can guarantee you it's not from lack on trying that Samsung hasn't given it to you yet - but if it's not ready for prime time - my guess is the majority of folks would rather wait a month or two and be sure their GNote remains the great phone it already is with GB.

Pandawg - see - 2 days and already you are loving the phone. Welcome to the GNote family. Check out G+ there are a lot of GNote circles out there!

I'm good with it as is. Only pointing out that people are entitled since Samsung made the promise. For myself, I'm quite happy with the GN as is. Wouldn't want to have any compatibility issues. Everything is working well for me.
