Sorry guys, it may just be me, but I don't really understand the fixation everyone has on battery life. To me, it is a non-issue with the SGN, simply because out of the 20 different smartphones I have used over the past 6 years, the SGN has had the most frugal power consumption ever. For my uage, which is relatively heavy since I need full push of work exchange email, phone calls, I can still get 14 hours from 100%-0%. I could never get this type of battery life with any other device.

Like my bold 9900, unplug at 7am, flat by 2 pm. The only way to make it last longer before was by having to switch it to EDGE, which to me is handicapping the phone's ability.

This is something I have never had to do with the note, which is great! No compromises to make at all, especially since I am on the old maxis unlimited plan which really is unlimited.

I still have a backup energizer xpal, just in case I am at a client's office the whole day, but I just top it off if I am in the office with a generic micro usb charger, and it's fine.

Therefore, just enjoy the phone. The note is simply the best phone I have used ever, and never had to make compromises with its functionalities. Having said that, I am on the rocket v12, but even with stock it was great! I haven't had the urge to get anything else for the past 1 month plus I have been using it, and heartily reccommend the phone to everyone I meet. Sharing is caring!

Only thing is my facebook doesn't push properly LOL!

Sync is one thibg, make sure to remove the pictures from the contact, leaving only the fb contact with a picture. This will then by default choose the fb picture as the contact picture.
