Francesco Gregory Guerra do you miss NFC, or LTE? I have thought about switching also but LTE is just so much faster than 3g. NFC is not as big a deal as I thought it would be. The LTE was the only thing holding me back.

hmm, I wish the trade section was open. I have been wanting to go to the N7000 since it came out. I am on T-Mobile so either way I am running 3g or 4g and 90% of my days are in a wifi area so it doesn't bother me. Also I love the home buttom, rather have no buttons at all like the GN but thats not an option.
For me, I don't miss NFC or LTE at all. The main thing I use data for on my phone is Google Play Music and Netflix. Both of those apps function just fine using 3G/HSPA+. The only thing I liked about LTE was the ability to download a new rom release in a matter of seconds, even while out and about. But even on a 6GB data plan on Rogers, I still would cut it really close using the mentioned apps and downloading roms on LTE.
I was using Padwan v7 and other 7005 base roms before I sold my i717, so NFC wasn't even enabled. I found 7005 base roms to be much snappier than AT&T or Rogers base ICS roms. The only thing I had looked forward to using NFC for was if Google Wallet became available in Canada. It still hasn't, so NFC really had no purpose on my phone anyways. If i want to send a picture to somebody I can just send it to them over Facebook messenger.
With the GT-N7000
-Better roms (many based off of Stock JB leaks)
-Dedicated Home button
-Processor achieves better benchmark results
-On board sound is supposed to be better than i717 (I believe it is a Yamaha chip)
-You get a radio, which is actually quite a nice little add-on. Better than NFC, dare I say it :silly:
With the i717
-LTE, if you have unlimited data or just like downloads to complete very quickly, this can be a real draw
-No dedicated Home button can be a plus to some
-Official JB release is really being dragged out like crazy
I haven't noticed any real difference in battery life between the two. Like I said, I am very happy with my decision to jump ship. The positives of N7000 greatly outweighed the positives of staying with the i717. Just my opinion.
edit: How do you know my full name? Kind of creepy. lol

first, LOL!
second, ya, I agree with your post pretty much completely...
If the trade section was still open id be in there trading my i717 for an n7000 in a heart-beat...
Easy, google your screen name, most people use the same screen name for multiple forums, click on one of your instagram pics and viola, full name.
Thats weird man ............let's get back to the ota.I'd rather read about that then this ....thanx
Lol i find it weird too... My butthole should be just fine though... Back to the OTA discussion!
need my i717 for the UMTS bandwidths. Makes me feel like i should have stuck with my old S2X or gone with a nexus.
TELUS is showing February for the i717.

I haven't placed much stock in the rogers update page but when coupled with this, I'm a little more hopeful...now if Bell mobility gets on board, then we may actually be looking at something more than vapourware..
Did y'all see this?

So did you call and confirm last time I spoke to AT&T they told me ICS update was avalible for me but could give no info on Jelly Bean.
Yeah I called. Seems the agents he spoke with were confused. There's is a update coming for the Note II from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2. Nothing for us.

Even if they knew, AT&T nor Samsung would tell you. You will get the general "we cannot speculate at this time."

Just checked the Samsung USA web page and.......
Absolutely zero reference to our Note getting the Jelly Bean update with any service provider. However, the good news is, the Galaxy SIII, Nexus and Nexus S 4G all have their Jelly Bean update. Lucky them..........
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00050212&fm_seq=55187
Like I said before hard to keep hope alive, when you know that it will never come.......Still would like to see if Rodgers receives it as many folks have posted the Rogers web page showing end of month Feb.
Would be nice, but in my opinion they won't receive it either, it will just drop off the web page like it did on the Samsung USA site. Leaving us with what we have being as good as it gets.

please people lets not give up hope..
If u have lost hope in getting the update why dont you just keep ur opinions to yourself instead of making those that have hope loose hope..if we wait and dont get an update by end of feb, we can start an online petition because it doesnt make sense for the other version of the note 1 to get a jelly bean update while d American and Canadian version wont, its not just right..So if u av lost hope pls just keep shot n probably go buy another device because the few of us left are ready to stand up for what is right!!!

Sammy Spain releases update for SGS2 early
Samsung Spain released the S2 update early and is available through Kies now. Perhaps we will see a release for us soon.

Well I if dashed your hopes guess that means you saw a glimmer of truth in what I posted. Like I said before our Note at one point was on the JB update list. However if you think a petition would have an affect, if it comes too it, I will sign it. Would, if needed, like to see if it really does make a difference. Now to support you and re-inflate your hopes, am hoping that it does not come to that, and all goes well at of Feb with JB update.
