Since the Gingerbread-Update, the performance increased immensely. There are no longer the basic lags (e.g. when scrolling down the notification bar). Battery life is about 7 hours of continual use, enough to get you through one or two days of usage. Size is a bit of a bummer, not very portable, but okay for a suit. What I have to say though, is that it is not very great as a phone except you plan to use a Bluetooth headset. SMS-Messaging is great on the other hand, due to the form factor and space for two-thumb-typing. Many apps are not optimized for tablets and lack the iOS-polish, but the Galaxy Note has more pixels so that it will be more visible there. All together, it was a great tablet for its time and Gingerbread brought fresh air, but it can't stand the tough competition anymore.
