If you can swing the price then sure. I know the full retail price for the Note 3 is a hard pill to swallow. Even for me coming from an S3 which I loved, it was hard to finally throw down the money for a full retail Note 3. The best advice I can offer, is check the resale prices for Note 2's and subtract that amount from the full retail price of the Note 3. If You can swing that price, then sure. One thing to consider however, is that Samsung will upgrade the software on the note 2 to match the Note 3. So it may, or may not be worth the extra money to you. Just some things to consider.
