I was sick and tired of waiting for a possible jailbreak for the iPhone. I decided that I would pay for the Note 2 full price and decide if it was for me (14 days to return it to Verizon for a $35 restocking fee). I just got this bad boy last night, rooted, unlocked it, flashed it to beans, configured STsettings and this phone is blazing fast. I felt that Chrome was a bit laggy (performance wasn't as smooth as Safari was on my iPhone l) so I picked up Dolphin and it's as smooth as butter.
This isn't the first Android phone that I used. I had the OG Droid, Galaxy Nexus, and the HTC Rezoound. This is by far the best phone that I have used.

Welcome back to the good side (android ). I was going to suggest dolphin but I see you found it. Thats the only browser I've been using since I got an android phone. I love the swipe on the left side of the screen for your bookmarks. I too am running beans and actually like touchwiz on this phone because the spen makes it totally worth it. If your looking for another good app to use with your spen check out gmd spen control. Its great you can literally use the spen for everything then. But good luck with the phone glad you like it and can share in this forum.

Thanks techgov.
The reason why I prefer Dolphin is because its tap to zoom feature is right on the spot. I'm an Avid iOS user (still have my iPad on iOS 5.1.1 so Safari has spoiled me.
A negative thing that I have noticed thus far is that the touch sensitivity is not as accurate as my iPhone 5. But I can't blame Samsung since this screen is so huge. I also need to install Swift key. This AOSP keyboard isn't doing me justice.

Excellent choice for dumping the iPhone 5... You will not regret it. This phone is the best thing out!
Today I had to check some stuff on my iPhone 5 (it's not activated), and boy did I feel like I was using a child's toy. The thing felt so small and tiny. Honestly the note 2 feels just right. I'll be keeping my iPad 3 but there's no way that I can go back to the iPhone after getting spoiled by the Note 2.

Normally I am a big fan of AOSP but since the Note 2 has some special functionality, I am using as-close-to-stock as possible. And CleanRom is ideal.

Since my experience with my infuse was so horrible and I mean horrible (replaced 5 times) they are allowing me to upgrade my second line early so I figured I'd spend it on the Gnote, my primary line is up next January so I figured the note will hold me over for 11 months. How good is it? I've played with one briefly the other day and really liked it.

You won't be sorry! I came from an iPhone 4S and I'm not sure the camera is quite as good but its still excellent. And the rest of the phone is far better! I'm in love with the screen and I'm just beginning to get the hang of editing pictures with the S-Pen. It's an awesome phone! I ordered two extra batteries and a wall charger from Amazon to go with it so that I'm never stuck to a wall.
I came from an lg nitro HD and this phone is awesome.I smile every time I pull it out of my pocket. And something really cool that I just noticed is that Swype rocks with the s-pen.

I don't know how people get around playing with that tiny iphone, it's like tryng to eat a meal with a kid's toy tea set.

I can get this phone for about 300. I am using the Galaxy S2 which is the perfect phone, great size, fits in my pocket, barely any lag, and the screen looks superb.
But I am kind of curious on the Note. I think it'll be a much greater entertainment system, especially for gaming and Youtube (I have unlimited data plan).
I could technically try the note for a week then sell it again for the same price. Worth the risk right?
Great purchase if you can part with the cash

I ditched my Galaxy nexus for the Note and have been very happy. It did take me a while to find a ROM that I liked which was stable enough for me. I stopped with black star VIII. I wanted full SPen use, and he offers Nova installed on top if his TouchWiz base. I no longer miss my Nexus. The first couple of days were touch and go...
I would say definitely make the jump from your S2. As you said, you can flip it if need be.

There are several good JB rooms, but I keep wanting the s-pen apps. That's the whole reason I got this phone. I'm using Blackstar VIII and like it a lot. Touch Wiz runs very smooth. I'm excited for their to be an official JB release son the cooks can get their hands on it.

As the OP pointed out, it felt like a downgrade. The S4s screen is pretty nice but I found it ate through the battery pretty quick when it was on. The S4 dropped to 3g in places my Note would hold 4g. The S4 didn't seem as smooth as the Note with a rom on it. It just didn't feel worth the money.

The screen wasnt that big of a differnce. There was a lot of lag everywhere, from the camera to making a call and all that smart stuff wasnt what i thought. There was a few flaws, but everybody feels different about things. U have 14 days to return it..just make sure u go to the corporate store,if not u have to pay an $80 restocking fee.

I'm in a similar situation. I picked up the S4 Thursday, played with it for a day, and hated it. The camera was laggy (0.5-1 second shutter lag), the UI and apps themselves were laggy, it felt like I downgraded because of the smaller screen and the battery life was a lot worse. I went back to my Note 2 for the weekend and thought about returning the S4.
Then last night I decided to give the S4 another shot. I did a factory reset, installed my apps again (except I only installed what I REALLY used, which is about 60 apps), rooted, and froze/uninstalled a TON of apps and processes using Titanium Backup. After customizing it even more it's been much better in terms of performance and battery life. The screen is amazing on the S4, it's much brighter, whiter, no jagged edges on text (MBP > MBP Retina), easily viewable in sunlight, etc.
I thought back to when I first got my Note 2 and realized that the S4 is still brand new, when the Note 2 was new it was also laggy and full of bloatware. The S4 is only going to get better as OTA updates come out to fix these few minor issues, and once devs start to build solid ROM's it's going to be just as reliable as my Note 2 is on Beans 17.
I enjoy having a phone that I can actually fully use in one hand, fit in my pocket without being uncomfortable while sitting, and more importantly actually be able to fit it in cupholders!

But the note 2 wasn't laggy even with Verizon bloat and a ton of apps. I used it for a while stock, non rooted and it was just ask fact as it is on a custom Rom. I really feel like the snapdragon CPU's are just inferior to exynos. Plus it never gets hot.

He is absolutely in love with hos Note 2 and says there is no way in hell he will EVER go back to an iPhone!
The only thing he dislikes is there is no way to sync his iTunes music, playlists, pictures, and videos. He was using Kies but since he flashed Vanilla Rootbox, which he has been on since the 3rd day he had his phone, he cant find any app for syncing his music tjat works with a USB cord.
