Do you guys find that most other microUSB cables have a really tight fit into the charging slot? I had a 3rd party microUSB cable that I sometimes used to charge my SGS2. It was snug but I didn't have to force it in but I find that I almost have to force it into my Note. The original samsung ones go in without a problem. Does the Note have a tighter slot?

I notice that the good quality branded chargers cables seem ok. I tried a USB-microUSB cable from my previous Blackberry and a charger from my Jabra BT headset, they all seem to plug in ok. It's the cheapo one that had problems.

I think I need to spend some money on a good quality cable. I need another cable to use as a car charger. Any recommendations?

Can't find the official one from Samsung. Will check with Nokia.

I'll go checkout the one at Gardens for it then.

For AP sets does it matter where the unit originated from? Or does it not matter and Kies only detects the country where you are located?

So how can I check where my AP set originated from?

Sorry.. so what should I be looking at? I found the sticker but what is the indicator?

It says MADE BY SAMSUNG.

But what I want to know is whether where my AP set should have been originally released in. BTW is that what is important when ICS is released for different countries?

You're wrong. AP sets are only about 200-300 bucks cheaper than SME.
