Not that I'm one to drop phones/electronics it still bothers me to know how minimal of a beating a Samsung product can take. :(

The back cover fits well even if I have opened and closed it several times for battery changing, and the microusb port is still attached where it was meant to be (this hasn't been true for some other beloved devices :D ).

Then, we should admit that in order to have radio waves pass through it without attenuation, and to make it light and cheap, they must go plastics, and not metal, even if those peripheral electrons of metal atoms are sooo shiny and feel cool. Carbon fiber who knows?

I've used SGS2 for a couple of weeks (was using Nokia N8 previously). Didn't quite like the phone I don't know why - might be because I didn't want to go with the crowd (read Android :o) And during my short relationship with SGS2 (after using Nokia phones all through my life before that) this is what I felt.

Plasticky feel (as mentioned before)
Call quality was not upto the mark (when we compare it with Nokia)

Don't really want to mention the other drawbacks like that of the battery and other blah blah as I know those are not Samsung's problems, they comes with Android :p

Switched to Nokia N9 now and this is what I call a real smartphone :cool:

But the S2 has comparable battery life to Nokia's latest smartphones and on top of that has a removable battery. The Note specifically has great battery performance, one of the best of any smartphone. Not sure why battery is a problem.

I just took mine out of a cheap, noname cover case from DealExtreme which was already falling apart after a few months, and put into the Stilgut case/stand I just received today.

I feel a bit safer now :-)

Re: Samsung Galaxy Note

Guys I've learned earlier that in the ICS the memory is considered as a one partition.Thus, the limited 2 gb for installation will no longer be available and the 16 gb present in the galaxy note (for example) will be considered as a memory for storage and installation.But, unfortunatly this is not what I found on my galaxy note ICS 4.0.3 and now the 2gb for installation are nearlly full because I am a heavy downloader of applications, medical apps, tools, dictionaries, games etc...
Isn,t there a way to enlarge the limited 2 gb for installation?

What about the ICS 4.0.4, did anybody try it or not yet? Is it worthy to upgrade from ics 4.0.3 to 4.0.4?

ICS 4.0.3 was rushed, as Samsung clearly focussed R&D on the S3.
4.0.4 fixes many bugs from 403, not all.
I think [2.3.7] < [4.0.3] << [4.0.4]

And now there are 4.1.0/4.1.1 ROMs by the way

4.0.4 does not relieve this limit.
However, at least, moving several applications to the sd card doesn't seem.to.trigger bootlooping.any more, at least on my device.

Edit: moving S-Note to the sd card (through titanium backup) frees 90 megabytes in a single move!
