very good upgrade considering the features sgn have, even my friend, about 2-4 years iphone 3g user already considered to get sgn, not to mention with the premium suite ics coming soon with double the feature than current gingerbread has

the background is really based on the picture listed, with zoomed in+blur effect, thats why its like that... nothing to be alarmed of

do a screen test to make sure ur screen is not faulty...

guys...when is the official ICS launching?

on Q2

Ok but when I go into the gallery and swipe right to left or left to right, the background color keep changing...is tht consider ok?

that's normal...

yes bro, no worries, like i said above ur post, key in screen test code...

Screen test ok no dead pixel..

so there is no problem with your GNote

Ok I was so freak out until want to factory reset and send to SC to fix it...

Well that's the screen issue that most of us have (i think) and it's called pixelated black, black clipping or black crust. Don't worry you are not alone.

banding, problem solved

hi everyone... i'm currently confused... the samsung note is normally has 1 year warranty or 2 years warranty by SME? I'm interested in getting this wonderful device but now i'm confused by the warranty since I saw some sellers @ lowyat forum has 1 year and some selling with 2 years warranty... hopefully someone can clarify this matter to me. thank you!

currently 1 year...last year, got 2 years...

make sure u dun get cheat..2 years only applied for last year model only, this year no more 2 years, if the seller said that their warranty is 2 years for new sealed box, feel free to slap him...

For comparison, this is what a solid black background looks on my NOTE
A good display should not show major patchiness and pixelated issues

thank u all for your wonderful advise... now I can go ahead on my research... =D

USB Storage = 16GB = Internal Memory?

+100

The phone 16 GB is divided into 3 portions :

1. A hidden 2 GB partition where your apps are installed
2. The 11 GB viewable partition where you can see it with any file manager - this is where your data ( eg games data, dictionary data, gps data , your music, video, audio and other files ) are stored
3. The other 3 GB is takenup by the phone system
