cant wait to get my hands on it.. i wonder when the SME units will be avail

when u happy with your 4", they pop up 4.3" , so u happily got a 4.3" , they shit out 5.3" . i think the acceptable size is going to be 5.3". because putting a 7" on ur face just seems silly. right?

cant wait for the WHITE Note to come out...

I am also planning my SGS II for 1400 and hopefully my friend will buy it from me.

Got my set from directd yesterday evening as the uncertainty of availability of SME is killing me!
just few hours on it must say a worthy upgrade from sgs II

Will post later more comments

woohoo... congrats!

so, abandoning sgs2?!?

Same here!

Wait for Uncle Benny to give his review first. If he find it's safe to root the Note then he'll tell/post about it in this thread.

Bro Waveweaver,I can no longer tahan n will take the next step today!
Anyone wants to offer me AP sets??

Looking 4ward to own 1 today

To answer some questions post before:

- It is not as "hot" as the SGS II ; infact I must say the insulation seems better - at the same temperature ,say 40 degree - i hardly feel the heat coming through the casing
- the back casing quality is similar to the SGS II except the matt pattern is finer. Maybe the casing is still new, slight a bit more difficult to take it off and put it back on versus the SGS II
- tested my favourite launchers : 3D Mobile shell - not suitable as the screen was too big and all the display was was shrunken view. Zeam launcher - swiping across screen lag and jerk , a real turn off, I'd assume this launcher is not optimized for bigger screen. So meanwhile I stick back to TouchWiz and install the app appzorter lite so that all the apps can be displayed in alphabetical order
- speed of opening/launching apps quite similar to SGS II - don't see any lag as described by albert
- the S Pen fits very firmly and I believe is also being hold by some form of magnet and is unlikely it will drop off
- kernel build is XXKJ4
- No Chinese language option
- Battery size is 0.85 mm longer and about 0.6 mm wider than SGS II battery ; so no hope of using this battery in SGS II
- Overnite with various apps refreshing data every hour ( email, tweeter, RSS , newsfeed ) battery drop over 8 hours about 10 % ; would say is pretty good
- WOW ! I really love the bigger display. Everything especially when on browsing it looks so much better

Temporary protect my new toy in my ex Dell Streak casing : A perfect fit

the poison on this thread is strong...

this thread is not for the weak minded... lol...

@ozone9,

Be patient, we still got 7 days more to 10th although there is no fixed date of when are we going to get the SME set.
