About this blog.

This blog is devoted to the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 smartphone.

However, many of the topics covered will be applicable to other devices even ones from other manufacturers.

The only guideline governing this blog is that it must also apply to the Note 2. If an app, widget, technique or comment doesn't apply to the Galaxy Note 2 there's probably a better place for it elsewhere. Of course that'll be rare because as anyone who owns a Note 2 knows, it'll do just about anything.

Although admittedly, not quite as much as the Sumsing Turbo 3000. Let's face it, nothing comes close to that baby. I can't wait until I can get my hands on one of those bad boys.

Therefore as far as this blog is concerned, until I get a Sumsing, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is the best smartphone in the world.

It took me nearly 10 years to upgrade my phone because I was waiting for something better than what I already had. A faithful Sony Ericsson P900 smartphone which although 10 years old still possesses a few superior features to the Note 2. The 5 way thumb wheel and the power button that can't be accidentally pressed to name just two.

 But in the whole the Note 2 eats the old P900 for breakfast. It's like comparing a car from the 1980's with one from today. Radar guided cruise control  and automatic reverse parking were Jetson cartoon dreams back in the 80's, now it's an option on many makes and models. Similarly, using the old P900 as a voice activated, turn by turn, 3D satnav in the car was also a fantasy. As a guide map sure, but satnav, no way. In contrast, this is one of the more mundane and trivial abilities of the Note 2. Therefore while I do miss the truly one handed operation of my old phone, I so far have no regrets with my decision to upgrade what so ever.

Throughout this blog I'll be testing the Note 2's features and capabilities and reporting my findings and experiences. Including an ongoing post about writing this blog via the Note 2.


Please enjoy exploring the rest of this blog and hopefully it'll help you avoid some of the pitfalls as well as enlighten the full abilities of Note 2. And as always, I'd love to hear your feedback both good and bad.
