RM2299 for Exynos without LTE
RM2499 for S800 with LTE

What I mean if it can last me 2 years without the need of upgrading to a later new note..

In note2, some widgets don't work and the pen popup dialog won't popup.

These have workarounds via apks and no need to muck about w flashing.

Multi Window still there and most features is there.

Some widget will not be available in 3rd party launcher.

Maybe the new S-Pen feature will gone, this look like same feature as previous Note II page buddy where required Samsung own Touchwiz launcher.
