the latest Firefox Beta is great on the Note; this is the first time I'm thinking to use it as default browser, instead of Dolphin. Starts quick, works quick and has perfect column enlarging.
The only annoyance is setting cursor in textarea input fields (I cannot avoid selecting whole words, and find next to impossible to position between two words).

Indeed, very usable and a definite improvement on all previous mobile FF versions (including Maemo :-).

It seems better in every way.... but only marginally.
720p SAMOLED+ >> 800p SAMOLED
The only thing bugging me is the "pebble" styling, and that its going to be wider. The NOTE is perfect width as is, going wider would make it harder to pocket and hold. And if I wanted to put a case on it, it becomes even more so difficult. And for me the case is not debatable, I need the kickstand on the rear.
The extra screen estate is okay, its just the physical dimensions that put me off.
I'll see how my custom 4.0.4 Note stacks up to this.

I hope the Galaxy Note II won't have the cheap plastic feel that the Galaxy S III supposedly has. . .

Don't know why, I get a feeling that all Samsung phones are built out of cheap plastic 
Build quality is pathetic I do not find them appealing

A few feet more and I think the phone would've broken in half like a candy bar. Not that I'm one to drop phones/electronics it still bothers me to know how minimal of a beating a Samsung product can take.

).Then, we should admit that in order to have radio waves pass through it without attenuation, and to make it light and cheap, they must go plastics, and not metal, even if those peripheral electrons of metal atoms are sooo shiny and feel cool. Carbon fiber who knows?
