Damitel , 24 Feb 2013Was fortunate to see s3 and note 2 in a show room in a phonestore, 306ppi on s3 was not better... moreActually, I can't hardly tell the resolution so much between the S III and the Note II. They're both brilliant screens and are good for bright environments.
The best experience with the S Pen for writing is with Swiftkey. The new update just integrated the Flow function where you glide your finger or S Pen across the screen to encode words. It's better than the stock Samsung keyboard. They both get the words you want wrong at most 25% of the time. It learns the most common words and phrases you use over time.
If you rapidly want to encode words, I suggest you get a good bluetooth keyboard, preferably something that is full sized or it can be folded in the middle for better carrying and storage. There are smaller ones at the size of the Note II. I plan to get one of those for portability.
I also do suggest you download Polaris 4 from the Samsung App Store. It's a fair enough Microsoft Office replacement and it's free.
A bluetooth mouse can be also be connected with the Note II for productivity.

I've went ahead & updated to the official N7100 firmware 4.1.2 (February - DXDLK5 for Philippines) and ran a root.
Ok, the plan was to experiment on some custom ROMs if power efficiency was a big problem. Seems stable for now as it's running as it did before - somehow. I just lost 10% power in am hour's worth of surfing and uploading via wifi.
I'm tempted to try out some of the lighter ROMs for a change but would lose Touchwiz functions like multi-view and Smart Stay.

When to expect a price drop?
I would give this phone 400€, not more. How much would I have to wait for it to drop to 400€?
5-6 months?

On 4.1.1 Note 2 was way great in terms of battery life.

ithehappy, 23 Feb 2013 Other than the SDS bug there is NO other bug in 4.1.1. Battery life was WAY SUPERIOR on 4... moreJust to clarify things about latest updates. I am using the Google Nexus7. You see I bought the GN7 in November last year. Out of the box came JB4.1.1 and its a nightmare. Battery drain and 'sudden death' are the issue that I encounter during my time with the GN7. For your info JB4.1.2 is a fix for the JB4.1.1. After that everything is OK and then it is 'stable' if you are on JB4.2.1. But the best reserve for the JB4.2.2. This latest upgrade works flawlessly. Mine is not rooted. My advice is stay away fromJB4.1.1 and wait for the JB4.2.1 onwards. Your patients will be rewarded. Cheers.
