yeah, what I'm debating about now is whether I should carry a small phone and a large tablet, or instead an all-in-one large phone such as the Galaxy Note 2. Can't decide between the 2 choices. I am doing the first currently though and I'm finding that it's inconvenient to lug around the tablet in a separate bag. But I'm comparing that against lugging around a big phone and I can't decide which is worse!! :)

Called my local Dick Smith, didnt have it there as they were a smaller store but directed me to others nearby that did. Il be off scope it out tomorrow night! there price of $999 is pretty dam reasonable I thought! Called Noel leeming & yeah, not yet. The lady said theres no stock in any store as it hasnt been released to them by Samsung yet, no date given either. Been hounding Telecom & Vodafone.... still getting the brushoff with 'very soon' 2Degrees never respond to any queries about it. I want it on a good plan, hopefully free or chunky discount

Pineappleexpress.... Well yeah I realise that all I need is another Telcos sim card..... That's nothing to do with it! I'm waiting to see what the best phone/plan offer vf have on the note 2, till then I wait... comments for others... Spoke to someone at Vodafone tonight, the note2 came into stock today. Pretty stupid it comes into stock & they make no sound of it at all... Considering how popular this phone is & will be.

For those of you with this phone, this video may interest you. It shows how you can use the smartphone as your PC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nh2NSLgaII We sure have come a long way since the first smartphone.
