Don't really use USB to charge my N2 anymore after the first round of USB charging session. I have multiple batteries for N2 which uses battery cradle to charge the batteries. iP5 is my main phone now and it is so much easier to carry around. The N2 just stays at home with the rest of my phones when I'm outdoors. Plus, I can't have a phone that will screw up on me when I'm on overseas trips no matter how good the battery time is.
I had both the iphone 5 and note2. Based on my personal usage, I'm opposite as u.
The iphone 5 stayed at home and rest while note 2 followed me wherever I goes. Unless I'm carrying a bag, both phones and ipad get to go out with me.
Personal preferences, note 2 hoot on and stay on to network much better than iphone 5 and the battery definitely last from morning when I go to work till I got home around 8-9pm.
Very frequently, when I desperately need to retrieve important emails, note 2 can does the job well and much faster than my iphone 5. Maybe just my luck, whenever I need to access internet, what I see on my iphone 5 would be a "o" (gsm aka 2g) rather than at least a 3g or LTE which appeared on my note2. I have 2 mobile lines, both are from singtel and on 4g (LTE) network. So, I supposed to have the same coverage for both my iphone 5 and note 2.
PS: I'm not an apple nor sammy fan, I'm describing the actual scenario which I experienced.
I just finished watching the Liverpool vs Newcastle match on my note2 with 29% battery left.
