We were fortunate to have been sent the Samsung Galaxy Note (GT-N7000) just before the Christmas holidays began and whilst we’ve been keeping our mouths full of mince pies, chocolate and mulled wine we’ve also taken some time to unbox and capture a quick gallery.

Is it a tablet or is it a smartphone? Difficult to say and we’ve seen mixed reviews regarding its 5.3″ front panel. While we continue to test out the Galaxy Note, here’s a quick summary of its key specs.

He’s no super hero, but he certainly wears a one of a kind suit which no doubt merits him the title of Rollerman. Check out the video below of Jean Yves Blondeau and his aerodynamic ‘rollerblade suit’ which allows him to skate with his body at insane speeds down dangerous mountain roads.

Hope everyone is having a good festive season, enjoy the rest of the holidays!
