    The Note is better but its in the Dell Streak realm -- quasi-tab-phone-hybrid.

    I'm going out right now to buy the Note. Will compare it to the iphone 4S I should be getting in the next few days and will report back!

    Question for you guys: If you buy a smartphone is a voice plan needed? Can you get data only?

    not sure. no one's really even sure of what carriers it's going on. verizon put up "exclusive" banner on their site, but later removed it.

    decided to go the unsubsidized route regardless of what happens.

    Most US carriers don't allow you to do this. I think..

    I have a tablet already :(. Are you saying I should get a tablet and get the data only plan and then stick it in my smartphone? Hmmm...not a bad idea.

    Bah!! data plans for tablets are astronomical as well. I don't need voice minutes :(

    The Nexus will be better imo. I like the Note, but too big for me. 4.65 is already pushing my own limits but I'm wrapped in that ice cream sandwich.
    You don't necessarily have to use kies.

    Just format your SD card as FAT32 in the Note, and use drag and drop for files, pictures, music, etc.

    Since, Android requires you to sign into a Gmail account, you can sync contacts using that, and if for some reason you'd like to keep a copy on your Mac, you can export contacts from Gmail.com onto your system

    Why do people write with the # in front of words like Twitter. I've never understood that ( in Twitter to).

    This article is somewhat misleading. The only reason Apple updates all their phones is because they want to keep one code base. It is much easier and cheaper to maintain but it screws their existing customers with older devices. The iphone 3G was useless after the first update. It ran so slow that my wife pretty much had to throw her phone away.

    I want a galaxy note so bad. I spend more time reading and typing on my phone than actually talking on it and the note would be perfect.
