Default Is The Galaxy Note The Best Phone Ever?

In spite of a few gripes (let's face it, no phone can suit everyone) the Galaxy Note must be the best phone ever made. It has no major issues and is small enough to be used as a phone and big enough to be used as a Tablet. It is also at the forefront technically and will soon be updated to Ice Cream Sandwich.

No. Its just bigger and it has a pen.

And it will not soon be updated to ICS.

But it is the phone I like most, and I have had a few.

You seem very hung up on this point and are using a lack of official statement to conclude that no update will be forthcoming. Has any manufacturer put a time table on updates. HTC announced a few phones today that will be upgraded to ICS, but put no timetable on the process.

I'm willing to be patient and see. At worst, CM9 should be available, and if someone can extract the s-pen apks then that might be good enough.

I think its the fastest/highest resolution phone available at the moment?

Certainly it has the largest screen, but that does not automatically grant it the "best" title. Some would even consider the size a negative.

Its lack of NFC and a notification LED are among its draw backs. The s-pen is awesome and the fact that its optional makes it only a positive.

In the end it all comes down to preference. That said, it would certainly get my vote for best phone ever.

I am "hung up" on people believing things "for sure, soon, confirmed, etc", while there is no official statement, just rumors spread by traffic hungry bloggers.

ICS would be nice, but don't count on it.
