hi guys i have a galaxy note 1.can i take it to a phone shop and ask them to upgrade it to jellybean im sick of waiting for samsung.

no.

they are just as bound to samsung as you are i'm afraid.

It's easy to do it yourself via XDA (<---Google it)

rooting and flashing is easy - if you've got a degree of technical knowledge. i wouldn't recommend it to beginners and also wouldn't recommend it if your phone is still in warranty.

i'll swap your phone for a jellybean

sure i have a packet in the car , you can have em all

the rumoured official release of jelly bean for the samsung galaxy note 1 is March 1st, so not too much longer to wait, although that is for unbranded phones, if you have a network branded phone it will take a little longer to get it, and if my network 3 is anything to go by previously I will get it just in time for my upgrade in june 2014
