Long time lurker here, and I have learned a lot from everyone. I finally took the leap of faith and bought a Note 2 on Friday, and boy what a phone this is. I come from an original dinc, then to the iphone4, then to a fascinate. This phone is in a whole different class by itself. I have rooted my previous phones and installed many custom roms (i like to tinker) but I must say, i think I am going to leave this phone stock for quite a while. This phone is a thing of beauty, and the looks of my co workers are priceless. Just wanted to share and hope to keep learning and sharing along the way. Cheers
