Gr8...ur frd still u got for 28500 that too with hassles of purchasing a used phone and then exchange...and it was directly available for 27950 yesterday on tradus.......better deal

How do you know the amount he paid? FK was selling with 5% discount.. so totally he paid is 32500-5% = 30850 and 1K for C3. After 5K cashback, it was 26850. All went very smooth and completed in 3 days. After 3 days he got Note2 and after 5days he got 5K cash back.

Of-course without exchange 27800 is better deal now, but i was talking about 2 weeks back. That time 26850 is better deal![DOUBLEPOST=1371789500][/DOUBLEPOST]

I got a damaged product from tradus. After a month of correspondence with customer care, they just stopped responding totally.

To top it all , I got a SMS from them saying your issue has been successfully resolved. What guts they have...

Customer care is non existent in tradus.

Does it bring the new S-Pen features with it? If not, then is it worth upgrading?

No new S-Pen features.

I upgraded and can't see much difference but would like to try some new apps which runs only on kitkat (like google now launcher).

Can you please help with me how you did it? I have never done it and heard about phones getting bricked. Did you follow one of the threads on XDA?

Followed the main CM12.1 Note II thread on XDA. Only issue I have faced is maybe one random reboot ever 3-4 days.
