Android™ is much2 better
Everthing ios have or Symbian have available on Android™
Widget, Homescreen, Hardware Acceleration.....
to many to list

NOTE™ is the mother of all phone as you can see from the spec

alot of nice games on ios is and most probably wont reach android.

Id say android is quite similar with iOS but things are about to change. especially with Apple obtaining the patent to unlock touchscreen devices.

I dont want to mislead the person asking the question, but, Android is sort of a steel frame, looks strong, but flawed in many ways, dont get me wrong, iOS and Windows mobile is also flawed in their own ways.

I juz noticed this gadget! Love it when I c it! Actually now m considering to get blackberry 9900, but now, think this Note! Any idea when is it available in Msia or singapore?

Considering spec wise, blackberry 9900 which is about RM2k comes nothing close to this Note. May I ask if Andriod is pretty similar to iOS? Will Andriod phone have firmware or software upgrade now n then like iphone4? How about Apps and games wise? Those on iOS is here on Andriod too? Is there any Jailbreak on Andriod?
*
our OTA update pretty much sucks balls, and very few people in the sgs2 has ever received an OTA update, i received mine, but its still on 2.3.3

Good thing about android though, is that you could do so much more tweaking, and if ur not satisfied, you can flash a rom to your liking. In your term, "jailbreak", in android terms = root.

regarding apps, if u discard games factor, yes, we r almost there, if games, then a solid NO.

anyway, android can be better or worse depending on your taste. Look at youtube reviews to see how much compatible android is to your taste.

Hmm thx for ur explaination on Andriod, games not good hmm. 

Wanna ask something about push mail on Andriod, is it better or similar to iOS? Coz my iphone4 email is slow, thus planning to get bb 9900. But stumbled upon this thread.

I have googled for Note review, and it says that most users are disappointed wif it. Spec on paper is convincing, but somehow its laggy, and samsung representatives response is that users need to wait till official launching in UK, follow by US and the rest of the world. So maybe there need some tune up some bugs.

We dont get theoretically "push-email" on android. thats one of the main advantages of Blackberry, many people gets confused, even the OEM sometimes label it wrongly. What we do get, is interval synching. You can shorten the interval, but at the cost of your battery life. If you rely on emails that are important and need to be replied ASAP, then android wont fair well on it.

Then again, you can on auto-synch, ur battery triple K even faster then.

i believe this Note would be a good replacement for ipad! actually ipad is way too bulky and heavy to carry around. man, its really hard to buy phone nowadays given the wide variety of choices.

if not mistaken, iPhone classified its email is PUSH Mail, even within the setting can choose push on or off, but no matter what, bb is still the fastest for email.

sigh,,,, really hard to decide which one to get. do u think this Note by any chance will be available in Singapore or Malaysia by the end of this week or next? maybe AP set would be faster than official set.

One last question, anyone tried buying Samsung products from Korea? do u think it would be cheaper? coz have a friend going there on Dec. But i believe by the time he comes back, already available in m'sia.

you can buy from korea, but its using LTE, or CDMA at least, thus, no sim card. Here Yes 4G are still in talks with some OEM to help them bring android here, simcard-free.

and no, most of the time, it isnt cheap for electrical products in korea. how true that statement is i dunu, my korean friends told me that,they can be bluffin or anything.

if u plan to edit or do ur work on the note. clearly, how convincing anyone can convince themselves, its hell no way u can do it without frustration, 5 inch is 5 inch.

even on the sgs2, the only thing i found really useful about such apps to help in productivity is viewing my powerpoint or pdf files.

i tried editing my word file, and hell, i gave up in 1 minute. adding an inch wont help...

rather get a macbook air and a nice backpack, looks good, ada style and u can take it anywhere... not as if someone will be doing their editing while they r standing or wutsnot... email yes, those kind of work productivity stuffs leave it for laptops, even on a ipad, i found it frustrating, not only in terms of the lack of options, but just didnt do as good as a notebook would

somehow, this phone didnt manage to generate the same amount of interest or enthusiasm by android fanboys compared to the sgs2.

sadly, those factors might be the reason why...

its an confounding identity.

even samsung doesnt know how to put it, so they boast about its identity loss, "tablet or phone? u decide"

its HD Super Amoled bro. better than the one on S2.
also, its a new release, compare to s2 that has been in the market for 6 months which lots of ppl already using it.

also it depends on personal interest. for me i love big screen phone.

the battery give really big advantage. 2500mAh is so much powerful compare to the one on s2 which is 1xxx mAh.

for current s2 user, i dont really see a need to change to GNote.
