I also own a Nexus, but thinking of buying a Note. Seeing as you have both, when do you use the Nexus?

I barely use the Nexus at all since getting the Note to be honest. It's mainly gathering dust next to my SGS2. I do the odd bit of testing of ICS related things on it.

Unusually the Nexus is my own phone though, normally I get phones free from work but I have a cheap contract I got the Nexus on so I'll probably stick it on eBay sometime soon before prices plummet.
 
Got a Note yesterday and am still using the last couple months of my "O2 35 on iPhone 24 month" contract.

I've noticed my wifes APN settings are idata.o2.co.uk with the same contract and on her iPhone 4... after inserting my sim into the Note it's using wap.o2.co.uk.

Edit, I think it's just the different between iPhone and non-iPhone tariffs:

Is there anything they can say if I'm using an iPhone tariff/sim in a different phone?

Hi, have you solved that annoying flicker in flash videos? I have my Note just for one day but this issue is driving me crazy. I am trying to search all over the internet, but with no luck.

Please, help me someone :(

Thanks for the responses. I had seen the same link in my search but it seemed to be a Tegra problem and was fixed with a rom. Weird that not everyone experiences it.

Another potential video problem that I'd be grateful if anyone could check... In the "lightness & stillness" Samsung video that comes with the device, in the section with water bubbles and white background that begins at around 00:15 I get a pulsating/flashing halo effect in the white background, most noticable at about 00:20.

I've seen it a couple of other times in videos with white backgrounds but I'm unsure if this kind of thing is common with SAMOLED displays. I've not seen anyone mention it before though.

What about that flickering in flash videos? How did you solve it? Thanks.

Just did a very quick test:

BBC iplayer (in browser): Flickering when zoomed out, fine when full screen
Youtube (in browser): Flickering when zoomed out and when full screen.

Beyond checking that it wasn't a fault with my device specifically i've not looked into it much further.
 
Thank's for response. It seems that it is problem with all Notes, but somehow only few people realize it. Yesterday I went to the local Samsung store and their test unit was doing the same. It's shame, because I can't watch youtube videos in hd using browser. My idea is that it is some kind of hw incompatibility with current system and will be solved with update to ICS. It may be interesting to know if people with unofficial ported ICS ROMs does have this problem. Anyone can check? Unfortunately I can't try BBC iplayer, because it is not available for download in my country.

Those lines can be best seen in this video http://tv.sme.sk/v/23394/autoskola-preco-sa-so-zadnym-pohonom-lahsie-zataca.html
Watch the upper half of the video.

idata.co.uk is the iPhone APN and wap.o2.co.uk one of the 'normal' APNs. As long as you keep paying your bill they won't care that the SIM is in a different phone. Does the wap.o2.co.uk APN work then? I would have thought you might need to put in the idata one manually.

iplayer when using the desktop version of the site by reconfiguring the useragent in the browser has flickering (its barely noticeable) on some areas for me its fairly un-noticeable unless I actually look for it tho. The mobile version of the site and youtube don't usually exhibit it tho I did notice 1-2 youtube videos where it was visible.
