So far trying the note 2 for a week and really feel good. The most notable improvement is the battery life is not an issue anymore. Very impressive I would say. On screen 7 hours with no extra care like switch this and that off. Use like what it intend to be and it still have much juices left at the end of the day.
Jelly bean does really improve the overall smoothness and response. Virtually lag free.
The only thing I miss iOS is goodreader 1password readdledocs and awesome note..
Primary phone will now switch to SGN 2 , secondary will be either L920 or iPhone 5. Whichever come first lol.
Would say Note 2 will be a good buy. Will not regret can say. Resell value wise I think will be on downside. Lose around 45% to 50% because the device tend to become cheaper in few months time after release.

Will buy as secondary phone but iphone 5 still cant make as my primary phone yet. Actually I dont feel note 2 is laggy. Even keyboard input doesnt lag anymore with its stock keyboard.
Only can see what apple will offer next year. Currently I only missed out readdledocs , goodreader and 1password in iOS. Note 2 is still my favorite gadget to date now.

1password only can read IIRC on android. So I can't make any changes. So changed to msecure now. Managing on two different DB is pain in the @ss

iphone never improve their os, only given it different names like ios 5 ios 6 to make consumer blur and earn money.

seeing too many of surrounding friends / colleagues / relatives jumped from iphone to android and windows (particularly lumia series), and can say 99.9% of them never look back for ios again.

the only good point of iphone is the retina display, and smoothness of os, but the latter now already insignificant because android 4.0 and above are smooth, and the lumia windows phones are as smooth as baby skin.

Each update of iphone does increase its capabilities, try to play walking dead on ipad 2 and u will know what I mean. Even ipad 3 is struggling with the game. The main thing they doesnt upgrade is the battery IMO. Thats the most letdown thing on iphone. UI is another problem maybe Apple intend to make it that way or they finally realise it is forstall problem LOL.
Apart from browser on android. Others like whatsapp, facebook , line , instagram , Flipboard and twitter is quite laggy on Android. I am not programmer so I dont know its developer problem or the OS cause this. So most of the time when I want to use fb or flipboard I will just reach for iphone. Browsing and other else will just use note2. Still.. my primary phone is note 2. tongue.gif
Now feel want to jump into lumia 920 but there is no PPS for me atm over WP8 sad.gif
