I believed nothing currently on the market could make me wanna give up my n900, i didn't consider the note a worthy opponent but after Nokia changed my n900 with a e7 for the second time i felt i had no option but to change so i opted to go for the note and i didn't expect such but i must say this really amazes me and I've been using it for more then a week now, battery life is really good it actually lasts a full day playing with it and using it as a phone and navigation device, so a full day with wifi and gps on, lots of free apps and games, speaker is as bad as for n900 but i find earphone quality really good, the big screen definetly makes up for no hardware keyboard, i feel this way is much better as i can type almost as fast as on n900 and I'm only using one hand
Bottom line i feel the note is definetly a step in the right direction with great software support and i don't miss the n900 or Nokia one bit
