Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 review: Power play

16 November 2011
Tablets are cool. But they have a purpose too. Larger screens, higher resolution and more mileage out of the battery make them better suited for certain tasks. That’s why people are not only fascinated by them but do end up actually...

      Hi All. I am planning to buy this phone in next couple of weeks. one major thing that i am concerned about is its steardiness. if i accidently drop this phone will it survive?? as i now have nokia 6630 & have been using this phone for the past 6&half year & it was quite a phone.i dropped that phone many a times it has opened up in bits but when i pack it all together it use to work. it will be kind to help me with some knowledge on physical strength of this Galaxy note.

            Love the Note. Not too large - it just looks so on first sight, but you soon get used to it.

            Movies look fantastic, and it even has 5.1 surround sound when using headphones. Don't know if it is Dolby Headphone, but just load a movie and click on the 5.1 button.

            A good download is Go Launcher Ex to expand the configurability of the home screens.

BTW I own the galaxy s2 and iPhone 4 and I try out the note gs2 way better than galaxy note even though way better touch screen, but still prafer the iPhone only one thing hate it about iPhone the tiny screen.

                                  Hi,
                                  I was wondering if you could test out the audio quality with the Galaxy Note Dock. I recently bought it and to my ears it sounds horrible and even worse when you attach a charger to the dock. Seems to me that the audio out on the phone itself is a lot better than the one on the dock.

                                      I heard if we use the Galaxy note to play games,WiFi and GPS the phone gets heat up very badly near to the camera is it true? If this happens then buying this phone is of no use. Need suggestions from the people who are using it. Please try playing huge games like racing etc and post your feedback.

                                        Just bought Gnote Yesterday, and yes I'm impressed with it.

                                        I m upgrading from galaxy s. and 1 inch addition is no big deal.
