it seems some people having overheating issues with their NOTE. didnt happen to me and the battery life was superb.

what i like about the note is the batt life on heavy usage. 12 hours is decent when u realised that others can only manage 9

i use it as a mobile AP when going to press events and still the thing can last around 10 hours

If i let it alone with no tweeting but push mail enabled i get 17 hours.

Im testing the Sammy Tab 7+ now and want to see if the 4000 MAH battery can be just as good as NOTE's 2500 MAH batts.

will post review

i think u have the SME version bro with shiteous bloatware. mine was EURO version so the batt tahan longer.

how come none of u NOTE owner have the limited edition back cover+ front flap combo? that way the back cover and flap comes as a unit. no need SP and extra bulk

and your homescreen button is now obsolete.

actually u do need the casing because of the camera. if you put the note on a table without back case eventually the camera lense sure scratch. not to mention the fake metal paint will peel off.
