If this is going to be anything like the S4 Active, then count me out. The display is LCD instead of Super Amoled, and the camera actually got worse. I can't wait that long for "what ifs". I'll be buying the regular Note 3 day 1.
I guess I kind of feel the same way. I
really wanted the Note 3 Active and was willing to wait but then my current device, an AtrixHD. started to have issues and I really
needed to upgrade
now by pre-ordering the Note 3 and waiting three weeks for it to ship.
My active lifestyle (my phone is my primary GPS device for cycling, running, mountain biking and we spend a lot of time on the water) dictates that I have bomb-proof case and a Samsung Active-level phone would add to that security; the down-spec of the S4 Active didn't really bother me and I figured I'd feel the same about a Note 3 Active...but now that I've been salivating on what is arguably
the top-of-the-line device (for a few weeks anyway), I'm content to just receive my phone next week and just take really good care of it.
