About time that vodafone set up a tread dedicated to the note as they have started selling it.

First question - does it come with icecream sandwich? Some sales assistants say it does and some say it does not?

The Note runs on Gingerbread...

Like the Tab, ICS is likely to be a future update

I hada  shot of one a few weeks ago and it is very nice to use - not really sold on size yet, didnt feel right in my jeans pocket - but the s-pen...wow!! we need that level of accuracy and functionality on something like the galaxy Tab, would take it to a whole new level, as i still have to use retro pen/paper when i want to quickly scribble down notes/doodles in a meeting

can you change the os to ics later?

At the Mobile World Congress this year there was talk of a Galaxy Note 10" Tablet with S-Pen.

I can see that being very popular especially a 3g version.

My Galaxy Note came has the latest Gingerbread 2.3.6 firmware!

If you can't connect your phone to your computer, from a technical skills point of view, should you even be considering a firmware upgrade?

My Galaxy Note came with 2.3.5. Even as I unwrapped the package and was setting it up, it prompted me for an OTA firmware upgrade and it went ahead and upgraded it to 4.0.3.

It was obviously a clean install, as it upgraded right out of the box, but I went ahead and hard reset it anyway.

So far it is worknig fine, without any problems as far as I can see.

True, I forgot about the option of upgrading via OTA.

BTW If you have upgrade to ICS, please don't do any more factory resets, until Samsung has fixed the eMMC bug.

ics for the note makes a great phone fantastic but now android offer jelly bean 4.1 coming in mid July according to reports. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18618259 I wonder how long it will take to come to the note
