    Yeah I'm getting an S4 soon I think
    I got to play around with the S4 (a family member got one for himself.... ) and it's buttery smooth. Love the experience, and the screen is a real upgrade over the < 300 ppi of the Note II.

    Yeah Its really nice

    Dont get me wrong HTC makes quality phones, but they like to butt their consumers.

    - lol Power button on top
    - lol no OS updates
    - lol no SD card (not a problem for me really, I dont use up a lot of space, but to other people )
    - lol no replaceable battery (again not a problem for me, especially on a custom ROM but for power users...)
    - lol removing the menu button upon releasing the One Series phones ... really ?
    - No Kill-All button in mus asking on Sense

    Amazing camera, sound and speakers though (boomsound on HTC One is just amazing)


    But yeah I really like the latest Samsung phones; I may not even root it (bye bye manhood )

    I got to play around with a Note III the other day (I love having tech blogger friends with demo units!).

    I'm kinda surprised they went back to the old design, as it reminds me more of the first Note rather than the Note II. I guess lawsuits aren't a concern anymore. The plastic fake leather back casing will be an acquired taste for most people, I think. I'm guessing Samsung will be releasing back casings with front covers in a similar texture as accessories.

    Touchwiz on Jelly Bean is as polished as on the S IV, with the usual S Pen stuff. Still a little too cartoonish for my tastes, though.

    Overall, it's definitely worth picking up for people who just want that type of form factor.

    I got to use a friend's Galaxy Note III and it looks and feels awesome. But I still love my Note II and I'm still willing to wait for the Note IV.

    I have a problem with the Note III though. Why did they zone-restrict the Note III? This product appeals a lot to business people (who, btw, travel a lot) and these zone restrictions are gonna suck for business users.

    did u guys read about how the new SS products will be regional blocked to keep prices up in those regions the products are sold to stop people from importing due to price differences between import and local stock...

    so whats the point of having a new phone and going overseas if u cant use it

    More and more, the ideal situation for overseas trips seems to be to just get a cheap dual-SIM phone.

    Keep your original SIM in for call roaming, grab a local prepaid SIM for data wherever you end up travelling.

    I had an original note. Loved it. Went to upgrade to the Note 3 and just wasn't impressed. I went with the Galaxy Mega 6.3. This thing is awesome. It's definitely mid-range specs. ...1.7 dual core Snapdragon 400 with 1.5 gb of ram but it absolutely smokes my old note. The 6.3" screen is unreal.
    I went back a few days later and spent another 30 minutes with the Note 3 but left with a nice flip case for my Mega.

    Widget Locker and Magic Locker are pretty good ones that I've used in the past. Now, I just build my own with Zooper Widgets or UCCW.

    Got a Nexus 7 and I didn't like it as much as I thought I would considering the hype it got from the press... Already have issues with the ty microusb port... The , my S3 also got problems but way later.

    Finally ordered a note 3, this time around I'm going with the charging dock and the extra battery kit, no more worrying about both battery life and ing up the micro usb port... It's the perfect size for me, basically same screen size as a kindle and amoled is so much better than lcd to read ebooks (black background and white font on the kindle app), also got frustrated with the lack of microsd slot on the N7...

    I'm turning into a complete Samsung fanboy tbh...

    I have the Exynos non LTE version and finally some good roms and kernels are coming out, Criskelo + whatever the kernel is called... So good... Seriously it's so much better than my S3 it's like it's from a different company... Best phone I've ever owned...

    One thing that's a bit annoying is not being able to get the tablet version of an app like for instance beyondpod, the screen is easily big enough for it...
