Does anyone think it's still worth picking one of these up? The SG3 is fuggly, but I would very much like the innards in the Note chassis. The stylus and physical size (not just the resolution) are really swinging me, but if dual core turns out to be lagging a bit in 12 months time it's obviously not as practical as a regular sized phone. Anything on a grapevine about a quad core model like the 10.1?
Samsung Galaxy Note: 5.3", 1200x800 SuperAMOLED, S-PEN stylus, 2500mAh attery... *phew*

I honestly can't see it lagging.
Excellent news, do you recommend I hide root before upgrading or returning to factory settings??
Updating OTA or through Kies will most likely lose your root hidden or otherwise, it shouldn't stop the update though.
Ok cool no prob, ta dude.

Woohoo! Updating now OTA.
If your as fussy as me when it comes to you homescreens take a screen shot before you upgrade!
SLowly noticing little features - one I really like is the data allowance settingsmm you can set an alarm and let it turn your 3g once you've reached your limit

Which network? I'm on giff gaff and there's no update for me yet
Updates are only network specific if your phone is network branded. Pretty certain Giff Gaff don't put their software on any phones.
Most likely Samsung staggering the release so their network isn't overloaded

I'm on GG for a few more days, I just plugged into kies on the pc and it did the rest, you have to text GG asking for settings afterwards though.
By Jove it's fast on ICS

Trying to download update via KIES and keeps timing out at various stages. I assume servers are getting hammered?

Hmm...not so happy here. Quite buggy, Apps crashing and freezing to start with and now they are just slower than expected. i.e opening and closing Aps is slower than usual.
A factory reset would probably sort it, bit of a pain though I know! I think the consideration needs to be that this is a bit pretty major update, like going from XP to 7 or something. Starting afresh is the best way to make sure everything is working ok.
