Only if the offical Samsung dock could somehow rotate so I could watch my content horizontally I would be all over it.

Funny you'd mention that, I put one of my favorite scenes starting Lela Star, and GODDAMN, seeing her get stiffed by a big one on a 5.5 HDAMOLED screen made me cum faster than a speeding bullet.

And number 200 post! Another thing that's starting to urk me using this phone is the placement of the back button.

If you guys hold the phone with your left hand; trying to reach for the back button with your left thumb is a fuckin' pain in the ass.

I'll have to go take some yoga classes for my thumb just so I can reach the back button!

If my memory serves me right, isn't the back button the 3rd button from the left? Though I'll admit the Note one is slightly wider than the II it's placement would seem okay for 1 one handed operation since you don't need to slide your hand so far down to reach the button where as the II you kinda do as the phone is significantly taller making it easy to drop the phone if you don't hold it correctly.

Fuck my brain went crazy there for sec, I swore it was 2:09 at the time of writing this post and then it hit me, daylight savings time kicked in. Time for some zzz's.

if they have an abundance they will sell u.. but seeing how the note 2 stock level is insanely limited.. i'm sure bestbuy mobile manager informed their staff to not sell any outright as they make literally $0 from the sale and doesn't count towards their store target.. so obviously they won't sell it to you outright.. and places that actually makes commission... they'll prolly make at most $2-4 bux for a note 2 outright vs $30-50 on a new contract.. u can easily see why they'll refuse to sell you.. you can call the carrier but they have no control over what the store is willing and not willing to do

Its the same as the i317's in the states, so no we do not have multi-tasking ATM. Need a firmware update or a custom update to get it at this point.

Why do you need to format your SD card to exFAT?

So lets start with a baseline. This is on my work connection, I'm not allowed to disclose the type of speeds but lets just say it has alright speeds.

Summary: 2.3MB/s down 6.45MB/s up

This is on Roger's 4G HSPA in downtown Vancouver near the Burrard Skytrain Station. I'm unable to show 3G speeds as HSPA would require me to find an area where the connection would be insufficient for 4G speeds.

Summary: 537KB/s down 56KB/s up

And finally Roger's EDGE running in GSM in downtown Vancouver near the Burrard Skytrain Station. Can't believe this is how fast the data connections on the 1st iPhone's used to be like back in the day. Look how far we have come!

Summary: 25KB/s down 15KB/s up

Fido should be using the same towers and networks as Rogers where I believe the priority goes to Rogers customers first.
