Ha. I am also planning to keep my phone while. I had an IPhone 4 for 3 years (I was aiming for 4 years but it got stolen and used a hand-me-down 4S for a year...) but the battery started to really deteriorate after awhile. I LOVE the fact that I can easily change the battery on the Note 4...

Since this is one of the few remaining phones with a removable battery and SD card, are you going to keep it as a backup phone? I figure that even though this is a great phone, I will eventually upgrade after awhile and keep this as my primary "backup" phone due to the battery and SD card. I...
