I just snagged a Samsung Note to try out my Android experience. I just have a few questions

1. What apps should I try out?
2. What firmware does it go up to?
 
The first thing I do is add swiftkey and nova launcher (lets you customize the phone and sort of hide touchwiz). Popup SMS is really good for quick reply
 
Thanks!

Right now I'm having issues, I tried updating the firmware, my internet went out while the phone was downloading, and now I'm in emergency recovery. I don't know if it's Mac or what, but it just stays at 0%.

Well, I knew switching phones would be a bad idea. I'm in VMWare and it doesn't even detect the phone in Kies.
