hybrid still has bugs, at least for me. it is very nice in operation tho. just make a nandroid backup first and flash away. NOte you need the proper ICS modem as well. flashing a rom does not include the modem. there are some exceptions.
I still go back to Saurom, its been the most trouble free.

Has anyone unlocked their i717 by themselves? I've tried to use Galaxy S Unlock and SGS Unlock Tool and they both say that my phone is unlocked. Even when I type in *#7465625# it says that all the locks are off yet the sim unlock screen still comes up and it says my sim card is invalid

It's supposed to work for all Galaxy S/S II/Note and their variants.
I've got it to work on a i9100 and people on XDA have unlocked theirs too!

Can anyone share their battery life experience with their Gnote? I've read on XDA that people average about 4-5 hours screen time.

3G, muted, no games, emails and interwebz.
screen on meaning you devote 4-5 hrs a day staring at your phone??? seems excessive IMO.
RE Unlocking: theres like 1 guy that said it works on i717. no one mentions that it works after that. I tried dialing the number you mentioned but i get a FC. I'm on Saurom so that may be why. have you tried rebooting your phone?

At work I use it a lot, mostly browsing and chatting and some calls. I turn brightness about 20%, all sounds and vibe on, turn off wifi, turn off gps, turn off live wallpaper.
I'll be done work 8 hours later and have around 30-40% left. If you play games a lot, you prob won't get more than 10 hours.
This phone is so fucking awesome! Samsung made a smart move with this mini HDTV PC smartphone 
It's worth the hassle of getting car charger and/or extra battery or charger. Totally worth it!
And I'll prob upgrade to Note2 when it's out.

Oh yeah, I work at Wireless Wave and get to try all the new phones, and this one is just so much fun. The only other one I would want right now is HTC One X, but only cuz running ICS.

Telus is releasing ICS for their Note in early June.. So one more month from now 
Hope other providers release it sooner and have Samsung release the source.  http://www.androidcentral.com/telus-...pdate-schedule Quote:

On the other hand my battery life SUCKS. I just got like 19H on battery but only 1 hour of screen on... I don't understand how people get 4-5 hours. I think I'm finally gonna order the extra battery on Amazon.
Edit: Wow they now sell the battery by itself for about $20. http://www.amazon.com/Original-Samsung-Standard-Battery-SGH-i717/dp/B0078PJT3Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1338941187&sr=8-3

^I did end up getting 2 2700 mAh Ankers with a charger on ebay for 24USD as it was a better deal. But where do you see it saying Noar Field Communication LOL I'm pretty sure it's OEM, there's a lot of sellers on Amazon that have the same thing.

^Yep it runs great. No lag or problems. The launcher/wallpapers/icons are all the same as the S III. Can't comment on the battery life though because I get shitty battery on all ROMs.. = =
