Why not? Bump the resolution to 1080p and you have a 400 ppi screen. Probably a better camera. Option to disable capactive touch while using the stylus.

Sammy, you are so clever! Other companies should take a lesson from them. They are one of the most customer friendly bunch of people. Not in the past, but now they are for sure.

Wow, Samsung is on a roll here, no doubt the best smartphone maker around, both in hardware & software.

Awesome! Now if they'd get that feature on the original note, that'd be great. Although getting jelly bean might be asking a little too much.

wait for December.

19. OHaZZaR posted on 21 Nov 2012, 06:34

Already doing so. Patiently I might add :P

Stable, so far no bugs, nice new features like:
Brightness slider can be disabled
at camera settings you can ” Use the volume key as”
new camera mod "in low light"
notification bar can be edited
ink efects with spen on lockscreen
group cast, google earth installed by default
you can disable multiview
status bar now is totally black, not grey
browser smoother, no more refreshes of bookmarks
hmmm need more time to explore this 4.1.2 sexy update :)

overclocked... Cause I dont see a simple android update pushing it up a 1000 points in quadrant

My last 5 phones have been Samsungs. And now I have the Note 2 . Other companies would have to seriously pick up in features for me to switch . I am a very peased customer !!!

13. Bernoulli posted on 20 Nov 2012, 08:40 2 1

I wouldn't call the ink effect new, I've been able to do this on my note II ever since I tried to unlock it with my stylus

14. twens posted on 20 Nov 2012, 10:29 5

just installed mine. quadrant score is now between 7120 and 7310. almost close to optimus G if am right. the official release would be dope. samsung is really working on software now. android just needs to be optimized more and trust me with the current hardwares it will be flawless.

Getting My NOTE 2 in a couple of days i pre ordered mines with Verizon

20. galaxys2dan posted on 21 Nov 2012, 23:55

Just got note 2 from att. I look forward to multiview! To install the new software do I need to root my phone? I downloaded the three files referenced but when i click them nothing happens. What do I do after downloading the files to get update?

22. mil086 posted on 29 Nov 2012, 20:20

I am new to the rooting ARENA and am wondering if this rom will work on a t-mobile usa GN2 (sgh-t889)? Can any one tell me or will all roms be just for the one that ppl specify? Thx
