I'm a apple dying fans but recently I really cannot tahan with the launching of iPhone 5 date. Thanks to those after meal nothing to do fella who keep spreading fake rumor(karma is waiting you). Now I had switch to note 2. Seriously note 2 really not bad. They are not as lag as previous device anymore. I tried launch 19 apps behind and it still run quite smooth but of cos still lose to iOS. What I mean is the minor lag is still acceptable. I read somewhere google is teasing they doing a secret project call "BUTTER don't know what. I think they are working on the OS smoothness. The big screen was really really freaking cool especially when browsing and watching video. Now I see my friend 4 or 4s it looks like a toy for me. The battery is crazy si Beh kuat. I think is double of my iPhone 4 performance. the widget is something i like too. It's so damm convenience and looks cool. About the keyboard the swype and word prediction made my typing like Ferrari fast.
Now let me talk abt the bad side. After few days use I still haven't add my credit card detail into google playstore. Reason is due to
THIS and
this. I know android had catch up with AppStore but without credit card a lot apps you can't buy. If you talk abt black market it will lead you to even more expose to malware.. I just tried downloading asphalt end up the file downloaded broken and lead to virus infection. It keep on downloading an app for me automatically. Just tried once only this happen. So now I wanna download a very important app but I'm stuck. Wanna pay cannot. Black market download not dare. The battery life is good but don't forget u need to charge at least 2hr to get it full.NFC or S beam is nothing very special I think. It's something like Bump apps in AppStore only. Or maybe it can transfer to multiple ppl at one go not sure. I just tried once with my friend. 1 to 1 only. The size is quite bulky. This is defiantly not a one hand phone. It's very tiring if you keep on using one hand. The multi window or minimize video that those sales person always like to demo I don't find anything useful at the moment. The phone might be big but not until u can watch video and browse net at the same time I guess. The multitouch screen also no way can beat iPhone. Always get the wrong place I wanna tab on it. Oh one last thing a lot of ppl( including myself) keep complaining abt iTunes sync very complicated this and that but let me tell you actually iTunes is the best phone to pc sync. I google almost 1hr just to find way to sync note 2 > MacBook. And the result I get is Samsung Kies. This apps totally sucks. Launch it like forever won't load out. Very heavy program. Maybe bcos I'm using MacBook I don't know.
Guys and girls please don't forget this is just a phone. Regardless how good is this phone or how many cool features they have on it end of the day the most things u use is calling, messaging, FacebookING & browsing. As long as it can do these why bother so much. This why I'm jumping over to android to see what so good abt this OS. After switch I still can call, mesg, fb and browsing right? Btw my plan I think when iPhone 5 launch + the item not so hot I'll jump back. Probably 6mth down the road I guess. And news say Foxconn say they finally able to catch up with the sales. So don't give up... Ganbateh!!
Preciously a lot saying my comment are bias and towards fanboy comment. Now I had use both device do I still look so? Btw I'm posting this via iPad 2. When I reach home iPad is still my favorite gadget.

again repeated question?
how many of u here are switches ur iphone to note 2.....
i am still pretty much in dilemma....iphone 5, note 2, iphone 5 and note 2,
(currently 4s user)...
i wish to admit in advance i am not good in decision making, already understand how both phones work, features and etc....
just tht finding the very solid reason to convince myself to change my mind and leave apple.....
another question is will it be very weird holding an iPad with note 2?
anyway no offense to anyone if i did mention something improper here...
Bro I'm using Note 2, iPad and MacBook. Mine lagi weird la....haha! Just jump la. Now note 2 is selling 2299 I believe after 3 mth time the 2nd hand value is around 2k maybe. If you sell it and buy iPhone 5 RM2299 you just rugi 300 only ma. RM300 buy 3mth android experience Oklah I guess. I'm a digi user which my iPackage just expired. I call digi ask them to extend my contract to another year. So I still getting RM50 rebate per mth (RM88 for 138 package). 6mth later just jump to iPhone 5 contract and sell the note 2. If you do the calculation you won't lost a lot. Now im using ipackage and buy note 2 from SAMSUNG shop.And don't forgot u jump from iOS > Android > iOS. It's a big jumping experience... But actually note 2 is a very good phone. Who knows after jump u will stick to it.
