note 2 is not out of stock..they not dare to keep much stock compare to iphone5
cos no ppl Q for note 2 during launch...but iphone 5 every1 is crazy even saying iphone5 suck and no innovation.
i using galaxy nexus and i end up selling it and change to ip5.
android apps are up to IOS standard.. thier free apps sometime very lousy..
for customization....i bet u wont bother changing it every month..u end up same screen every month after u bored.......
for widget...i dont like put my email or FB due to privacy...then what more important widget u wan to put ...
firmware support....samsung alway slow in firmware support...they have too many device end up not enuf manpower to develop thier latest touchwiz firmware for each of thier device
furthermore...u wont keep change to 3rd party firmware like CM 9 or 10 cos u end up losing ur whatsapps or viber conversation or sms history..or u may restore from backup but just too long process... end up u will stick to one and forever..
so what customization is about when all ppl are "hooraying" at

this is why i end up iphone 5 after a year using android

bro...
it depend how u install ur apps la...
i also facing battery drain when i use galaxy nexus...
furthermore, android using mini usb connector having potential battery drain when the pin in the phone bend down and touch the metal plate..
iphone with lightning has fix this problem...u can google why mini usb can cause battery drain after frequent charge..it happen to me and i need use pin to straighten back the pin..
