how do you like the Note ? I saw people using it but the size seems a bit too large for comfortable single hand operation. Thinking about standing on a bus with one hand holding the rail

note is waaay too big for one handed use especially without a case, feels very slippery, there's no chance i'd risk using it on transit one handed without a lanyard attached to it. that being said tempted to find case that would let wear it round my neck like an over large conference pass.

Could you tell us which configuration setting you followed to make SO working with the Note? I am waiting for mine to arrive, and would really like to know. Thanks!

just create the APN based on info you can find on this forum. The procedure is the same for all android.

I thought I was the only one using expensive phones and a cheap pay as you go 'plan'...=)
The note won't be as rare when the states and Canada have it. =(

I love that SpeakOut users are spending their money on good hardware, rather than wasting $50 per month on overpriced contracts.

I was desperate, didn't get a good deal, and paid $800 for a G Note. Although $800 isn't much compared to paying $30-50 per month for data for a 36-month contract. Most importantly, I get to have my G Note NOW, and I am very happy with it.
I already have an iPhone 4S with Fido. So my G Note is mainly used as a mobile tablet for me; i.e., I won't be making much calls and texting with it. However, it is my browsing-on-the-couch device at home and on-the-go. So far I am able to access Speakout's data on everything I need. In other words, I am yet to come across apps that don't work on SO's data. Am I the only one that thinks this is too good to be true?

So by now most have realised apps gotten broken a couple of days back.
There is a work around for all those who've rooted their phones, asproxy works a treat, check link below for configuring asproxy. Went with asproxy as it doesn't hang when coming out of sleep unlike autoproxy (although free) forced a phone reboot to get going again

The above link is a 53-Page long forum, and I couldn't find any setting instructions on asproxy for SO.
Instead I found the following
http://forum.xda-developers.co.....?t=1025361
But I didn't try it, as I am using Droidproxy instead, which is also free. It works very well, particularly the auto on/off when I switch between wifi and 3G.
These apps works with Droidproxy + SO:
Ebay, yahoo mail, market, Gmail app, map, waze, Facebook app, YouTube, catch note, web browser including embedded videos, downloading files from sites like megavideo
These apps don't work:
K9 mail (imap), pocket cloud (RDP), Google+ messenger, netTALK, gtalk

Basically anything that is not port 80/443 cannot pass through the proxy. Why Skype works(it was designed specifically handling this) but audio/video I doubt as that usually require some form of UDP which again cannot be proxied.
