After a span of almost three years, I have bought a new Android device-The Samsung Galaxy Note II. My last one was my beloved die-hard HTC Desire, which has been the base of my popular Starburst and Supernova Roms, which incorporated Sibere’s scripts and a custom-tweaked HTC Official Rom. It was extremely popular with the Desire community, and the proof of its robustness is demonstrated by occasional queries in its XDA thread, even now when Jellybean is the new kid in town.
I’m looking forward to getting my hands on the Note II. It was ordered from an Indian online retailer Shopclues.com, and should hopefully reach me the day after tomorrow.
