Yeah Uncle Benny. Using netchip CWM5 is much easier. Flash CWM5 using Odin and then use that CWM5 to flash superuser zip file for root. :-)
You gonna root your Note when the phone arrive., huh Uncle Benny.?

lol how to put countdown timer o.O ?

Definitely - will do it on day one just like my SGS II

those using sgs2, is there any lag with the phone? in browsing or scrolling?

Absolutely no lag at all - superb scrolling and browsing ; the best android phone I have ever used - simply unbeatable

You mean the SGSII or Note.?
SGSII no lag as it has hardware accelerator. Note i dont know as dont have the phone now. But it also have the same accelerator as SGSII.

if sgs2 is so smooth and nice why wanna change? what if the note is not as good as the sgs2 speed? lol

I change mainly for its bigger display and the s pen is a big bonus

Consider it as an upgrade. :-)
SGSII have 4.3" screen. Note have bigger 5.3" screen.
SGSII - Super Amoled Plus. Note - HD Super Amoled.
And among other things are screen resolution, battery and also the processor speed. Ohh yes., most important is the S Pen/Memo features :-P

wouldn't u regret if the galaxy note is not smooth as the sgs2? i am looking for this note or nexus to upgrade from my sgs as it really irritates me with the lag and slow speed

You cannot compare the SGS with the SGS II - I have used the SGS and in all my Android phones I have used , it is right at the very bottom of the ranking . Even my ex HTC HD2 on Android outperform it
I would say the SGS Note will not lose out to the SGS II due to its more superior specs and based on all the demo videos it is definitely smoother and faster than the SGS II

~~duhh~~
I'm sure Note will as good if not better than SGSII. It different with SGS where it quite lag and not as smooth as it older brother. Remember SGS is single core while both S2 and Note have dual-core. Nexus is good as it use ICS now but sooner or later SGSII and Note also gonna reveive ICS updates

i see...thats why i am afraid to change my phone 1st...i am looking for an android phone which is fast and smooth as the iphone 4. sgs is smooth at first but after installing apps, it slowly become laggy... >.< hate it

To improve the SGS, you need cook rom using EXT4 file system. The default RFS file system of the SGS was Samsung biggest mistake. However the improvement is not substantial but it helps to alleviate the lagginess

You can upgrade to SGSII as it is much better than SGS. If you like bigger screen then get a Note. If you have enough funds and want phone that smooth and have latest firmware, get a Nexus.

haha....considering between nexus and note loh...but there are weaknesses in each...nothing is perfect.

note: no ics yet...display less ppi, no zero shutter, scare not as smooth as nexus in future ics

nexus: lousier hardware, no s-pen, only 5mp camera but image quality not yet known

That is life - you can never get the perfect 10/10 device
Just decide based on your NEEDS which meets your requirements better

i heard this phone has one of the best battery life, comparable to ipad's. Is it true? If it is i might switch over from sgs2 =)

yup... as i were goin thru engadgets review...


"Battery life is phenomenal. While you'd expect solid performance from a 2500mAh battery, it's having to power a massive screen (both in terms of size and pixel count) and ultra-fast CPU -- energy vampires for sure. Our battery rundown test (playing a video in a loop starting from a full charge) achieved an impressive 9 hours and 36 minutes, putting the Galaxy Note right into iPad territory."
