I ordered my Galaxy Note 2 on the 17th from Best Buy, and it shipped around 2:30 that afternoon. I was soooooooooo looking forward to rooting it I REALLY hope that it doesn't come with the exploit already patched!
 
I really doubt it will. Those phones are sitting in a warehouse all packaged up for weeks before they're sent out. Just be careful of when you're activating it and it says there's an update.

Thanks Mike thats what I'm hoping! I think I will be able to root it before I activate it with the sim card. I seem to remember my Rezound would run without a sim card...
 
Not to spoil the fun, but I find that this thing performs so well that rooting is less of a necessity than a few of my prior phones. You are, of course, going to disable other software from taking advantage of the exploit after rooting, right?

Once you root, how and where do you select disable update? Just curious as I would like to be able to root.

What I was referring to was disabling the exploit in rooting method I used. But I disabled my updates by freezing the SDM.apk. I was only able to do this immediately after rooting. I don't know another way...
