It comes down to the pen. If you want/need to take notes, etc with it (I use mine like crazy and send everything to Evernote) then the Note 3 is for you. It's awesome. The pen is the killer feature for me. But if you don't plan to use it, then I'd wait for the S5!
Today's update disabled s-view and the cover's ability to turn my phone on and off. Using the Speigen s-view case which had worked well before....Anybody else?
OK, problem solved. Removed cover, battery, restarted, all is well.
