Is the gmail app any better? As you can get gmail to check your other email accounts.

Do you think its worth waiting for the 4g Note II and going with EE?
I have been thoroughly impressed with Three's reception around where i work and live. Streaming netflix and youtube without missing a beat 90% of time on my iPhone 4.
I've been offered the 3g Note II, now through work (no 4g as it has to be with Three), then maybe grabbing a 4g phone in april/may next year for myself if 4g really is the business, on EE or any another 4g network.
Anyone know when Three would be 4g capable?

Got told my user trial ended today! So finally I can talk about the NoteII i have been testing for the last month 
Really enjoyed using it. Still got it now, its a white 4G version, running on 3 at the moment.
Really great device, almost moved me away from Windows Phone!!

It's a good job you waited, giving that much info would have got you in trouble I expect...

More info please
Could you lucky people who have the Note II already give a bit more detail of what's on the phone please.
A couple of specifics:
1. Has it got Google Now? (If so, does it work properly in the UK?)
2. Have Samsung retained Swype on this device? (I use it all the time on my SGS2)

1 - It is an available app, i think, just checked, seemed to be
2 - It now has "continuous input" which is the same thing

Google Now is built in to Jelly Bean. The S3 has it too. Anything with JB will have it.

Does anyone know if the 4G version of the Note II be available Sim-Free?
Soldato
I probably missed something. Are all Note II's not 4G ready?
There are 3g and 4g versions.
It's good but not good enough for the hit on battery it causes. With it on, googlemap is always running and produces a few wakelocks.

Any news of the 32GB/64GB version?
Since I missed the buymobilephones.net offer from this morning, I am even more determined to wait for the 32GB version. Unless I suppose an even better offer pops up but I reckon unlimited everything @ £36 per month with free handset won't be bettered for a while.

i think they are as ive just got my note 2 from three and its LTE ready
Soldato
... At what frequency?
Unless it's 1800Mhz it's not much use in the UK. The UK-compatible LTE versions will go on sale from October 15th.

What about the 800MHz and 2.6GHz bands ?
Soldato
They won't roll out for another 9 months at least, and it's unclear which networks will end up with which bands anyway.
And does the "vanilla" Note2 support those two bands either? I have seen nothing to suggest that it does...
Associate
That was my thinking too, but then will the LTE version work with the 800MHz and 2.6GHz bands either? Basically meaning, get the
- 3g Note II - use it with everyone
- 4g LTE Note II - use it with one, possibly two networks EE ( now) & Three (next september)
I think I'm swaying towards the 'regular' 3g Note II at the moment.
