That sounds better. I got around 4090 @ 1.4Ghz.

Is it possible to overclock if I am rooted but on the stock rom?

Edit: Have you tried playing BLOOD AND GLORY (NR). Decent Gfx!

you have to flash a kernal, the thing about samsung this time is theyve cottoned onabout flashing roms and now theyve hardcoded some kind of counter in the phone which is in binary and counts every time a phone is flashed in odin or such. its all complicated but i thought bugger it and rooted it anyway.

ive got a kernal which allows it to go upto 1704mhz, im feeling that quadrant should be higher than ive got on that freqnency, im using stock rom too btw. a guy i know claims 4870 at 1.5ghz on his sgsII but hes full of crap and has always got to be better so i assume hes telling porkies.

Where is it? I go to Switz loads. Most everything there is lolprice but that's a good deal! (though it's more in £ after exchange fees)

Actually, phones and computer hardware/gadgets are generally the same or better prices than the UK! It's things like food and clothes/furniture which are crazy prices!

Shop is digitec.ch, just do a search for "Galaxy Note" http://digitec.ch/Startseite.aspx :)

I guess it depends on the exchange rate at the time. When you're being charged 1.01 to 1, not so much, but I guess now it's floating around 1.5 things are more 'normal' again!

And thanks, I'll take a look!

Well I also meant with regards to Swiss wages and economy... tech prices are pretty competitive in general, barring some odd exceptions. :)

Ofc - I meant lolprice in relation to the rest of Europe. As an example I am looking to buy a new Rimowa suitcase and the prices in Switzerland for them are madness...
 
One of my mates surprised me today, he text me saying he's bought a Note. The same guy made a cardboard cut out using the dimensions of the Note and was trying to convince me a few weeks back that it's too big lol. He came around and had a play on mine this weekend and said the screen was what did it for him and the size was a lot more manageable then he first thought.

Anyway, some benchies...

Cheers, I'm just gonna leave it at stock for now. When I get bored in a few months time I will no doubt try pushing it. :)

I just took the plunge! £454.90 from rainforest.de including shipping & exchange rates (€489 + €20 * 1.121 = £455). I was going to buy it last night but figured I'd wait till the weekend and the price fell €20 overnight - score. I'll be peeved if it drops again though!

This is now probably the most expensive thing i've ever brought. Very excited. My desire has been a trusty steed and i'll be sad to see it go but the Note is a real monster, can't wait to get a look at that screen.

For those thinking of buying from the same place I didn't have any problems with the language. I used a firefox add-on that can translate bits of text but to be honest it wasn't essential. I signed in with my .co.uk account so all my details were saved which took away what would have been most of the effort.

Also thank you for the review posted above, very informative and I love the guys writing style.
