Looks boring, same design every year, same stupid home button. I'm disappointed
Weren't we promised a new design a few months ago? I figured they were referring to a new look, not just some different textured back.Agreed. Looks very boring. I was almost positive about getting this device, but now it seems like Samsung is in a holding pattern and is not going to introduce anything revolutionary.

One important thing to note is that there is no cover over the USB port like there is on the s5. Does that mean the note 4 won't be waterproof like the s5?

I was going to consider this phone because I wanted something new and a different experience from my GS3,but to be honest, at this point I know my next phone won't be Android based. I need something fresh.
I don't think it looks the same at all to any previous samsung phone if you take a close look, however, looks are not as important as specs to me. There will be no phone in 2014 that can compete specs wise.
Looks are pretty important to me, and if you look at all the other notes, it looks basically the same, minus the different back cover.
Software is still important to me, but I don't expect to be blown away by Samsung offering.
It's not even the back that has me disappointed, it's the whole designI am not that concerned about the looks because mine will be covered and protected in a case. Also keep in mind, that there will be many custom backs available for purchase. The hardware specs, i believe, will be the best for 2014.

The S5 isn't waterproof. It's splash water resistant at best.
