Having migrated 3200 contacts from iphone to Android via Google Mail I'm keen not to let Google know my diary as well... .any recommendations?
I realised yesterday that I've only used it on wifi and my GiffGaff APN settings not working cos I can't get the green button off the O2 APNs. Are you on GG ? I've put a query on GG website.

Not yet - am still working on that one. Kies managed to sync ~80% of my contacts and the rest I sorted out by hand (opportunity to tidy up the contacts - it's not a work phone - if I had that many, erm, friends, for business I guess I would just do it via some disposable google account then nuke that afterwards).
Might be possible with CalenGoo but am still fighting with it (one thing I'm not impressed by as regards the Play Store is the comedy 15 min refund time limit for evaluating an app).
Sorry - am on EE and no issues at all (they even managed to port my old number the day before the previous contract was up). It appears to have picked up the correct settings from day one and has been whizzing along ever since (seems it was sent out already setup for the network as I didn't have to do any of the activate and wait for a SMS or two, delete them, then power cycle malarky as has always been the case in the past).
Would like an option to have GPRS only to save even more battery (most of the day I only need data to trickle in - in fact if it had an intelligent mode to jump to 3/4G where available when I pick it up/start using it but dropped down to 2G otherwise that would be handy). Seems you can only have 3G or 2/3/4G.

Very impressed. I had a Dell Streak and it always felt clunky and cumbersome, whereas this doesn't.

I'm due an upgrade Dec 11...Will probably take the plunge with one of these...
I actually like the idea of browin with the styluse - I have clumsy fingers and the Sony Ericsson 900i or whatever it was (the last major-ish phone that had a stylus) will rank as my favourite phone form ever

It's grown on me. Am finding it very quick to use especially with the continuous input keyboard.
Have had it a week and the only thing I think I can fault it on so far is the positioning of the power/sleep/lock button. Being opposite the volume rocker one can tend to squeeze that instead. Would have been easier to operate if on the top of the device as you could get purchase across the width of the case whereas that's not really possible lengthways. But a minor annoyance really.

I'm used to it from the S2, so I'm finding it pretty faultless at the moment.

Well it's the only way you can use the stylus
Yes, it feels quite comfortable to write with that way.

I was getting at the fact the phone must be quite big with the 'two thumb typing' style?
Oh yes - no more two thumbing for me. Never felt 'quite' right anyway. I tend to use the one finger (or stylus) swipe approach now. Much faster to input (feels more natural too) and almost certainly less likely to cause some sort of joint/tendon issues in the longer term.
The fact that (well for me at least) the continuous swipe input method seems to have a very low typo rate helps. I suspect I can already input some words faster this way than I could actually write them on paper. As days pass and I get more used to it I suspect I'll be able to enter pretty much any sentence faster than I could ever (now) write legibly (and that's legible to me, let alone anyone else).
Good news ^
Are you using the standard keyboard then? I use Swiftkey at the moment, did have a play with Swype but preferred the former.

Just the standard Samsung keyboard in Jellybean on this kit with 'continuous input' enabled. Seems to work a treat (for me). You can switch between swipe (with finger or stylus), individual (thumb or finger driven) keypresses and stylus/finger handwriting recognition as you see fit (even in the same sentence, should you so wish).

So here's one other minor niggle - I have alternate language keyboards enabled (I need Greek letters often enough for it to be useful to have such a keyboard option) but in using continuous input aka swipe one accidentally activates the other keyboard from time to time (to change keyboards one swipes along the length of the space bar).
But like I say - minor annoyance. Overall it just works (which is more than can be said of certain competitors recently) and is almost indistinguishable from witchcraft.

had mine for 5 days now... there's so much to like about this phone.
Only thing that's annoying me (changing from iphone 3GS) is that it's more complicated to mute. Iphone had a physical switch so you can turn it off in a meeting without people noticing.
Just getting to grips with the camera now... so many options etc. it will probably replace Canon ixus I normally carry with me. I've also got a 64GB SD card for it so it really is like a mobile office.

To be fair the volume rocker is good enough to (un)mute quickly. The camera works a treat including the best shot, shutter fire on smile and panorama options. Just got a 64GB card myself so am about to populate Viewranger with the entire OSGB map set

This phone is immense. Best gadget I've ever had. It's made my iPad redundant, so I'll be selling that. I never really use the stylus, so can't comment on how much that adds, but the screen size and quality is just so usable. Even using the S2 feels a little awkward now.

I had a proper go on the Note II this weekend and was mightily impressed. I can't really justify buying one seeing as I have the S2 and Nexus 7, but I loved the 'hover' feature and the stylus.
Despite its mahoosive size, it's selling well too - Samsung say they've shifted 5 million already.

You get used to the size very quickly. Doesn't feel remotely cumbersome, unlike the Dell Streak.
It's an exceptional phone. I love it.

It's probably great if you're a 'business type on the go' I guess, but for your average phone user i fail to see the point and you look a bit daft. In fact it reminds me of this!

An awful lot of smartphone users don't actually use the phone bit that much - so while they may look a bit silly on a call, for most of the time they're enjoying an indefinitely superior browsing, emailing, gaming etc etc experience.

Na, it doesn't look that daft at all. It's big, but not that big.

Was playing with one of these. Seemed quite good. Size wasn't a problem (I have giant ape hands) and I can see the attraction of the huge screen, memory card slot etc.
Feels so horribly plastic next to the wife's iPhone 4s though (a bit less impressed with the iPhone 5 build quality)
Do any Note 2 owners have build quality issues? If so what happened when you tried to get them fixed?
