Will you get white or black Note 5?

[Delirious D]

Where you able to play with the Note 5 at best buy?
If so how was the experience?

Hopefully you got to use it without being annoyed. When I went today they wouldn't leave me alone.

I played with 1 at Costco today. Love it. Too thin for me. Would love a bigger battery instead of a thinner phone. Loved the new software though. I'm one who's had a black phone forever and wanted to switch to gold. Guess it may not happen unless they stock some.

How did TouchWiz feel?

Did it feel like a lighter skin?

It's just as frustrating for tmobile customers because they didn't do pre-orders, and now I gotta wait and see if when's I go to the store Friday they're not out of stock because with the Note 4 last year they were very limited in stock so I just ended up ordering on the phone.

I'd go for black, and a white case

 

[MizWylie]

I've decided to wait. As much as it pains me. I want to see them in person, so it'll be about two more weeks before I can.

Smart move some of the people that have already received them have stated it feels a little smaller than the Note 4 in hand and that's a plus for me, but I'm sure the best thing is to hold one physically in your hand and use it.

Has anyone already ordered a case, if you plan on putting on on, or do you usually buy a case at the phone store?

I usually buy a few cases for my phones, but to get me by until Speck comes out with one or probably spend money on a UAG for the first time, I got a Spigen case on eBay that was 12.99 with a free screen protector I had a $5 coupon so I only paid 9 free shipping also.

I'm on a military training rotation out in the desert, and I could technically have one mailed here but I heard the colors aren't "natural" black and white, and the feel is way different as well. I preordered the Note 4 and iPhone 6 sight unseen and was thrilled with both, but these ones I'm kind of hesitant on. If it's smaller, minutely hopefully, that's not a deal breaker. I just hate being away from civilization for a reveal!

No plans to buy one since I'm already very happy and extremely satisfied with my G4, but if I had to choose, it would be this beaut.



I don't think it's available Stateside, however.

 

[toenail_flicker]

It isn't just Gorilla Glass, it is GG 4, made exactly for this kind of thing.

Still highly breakable on the back. I use a case, but I am THE one who will break their back immediately. Too limited for me anyway. Need the 128gb (not available) or extSD (not available). I was willing to give it a try until I saw the glass back and only 64gb.

Picked up a Note 4 and it will give me everything I need, hopefully. At least it still has the extSD and there's no glass on the back.

You might have to get some gloves with velcro and stick some velcro on the back of your phone

Funny! I actually do use grippy gloves for things when it matters. I have issues with knives, too, so I'm always dancing out of the way of the falling blades. Started using cutting gloves and haven't dropped a knife or cut myself since. I'm so dangerous with box-cutters.

Have there been any reports whether or not the gold or silver will eventually become available here in the states?

 

[chikmagnet]

Someone here said they seen a silver one at best buy, so it will probably be available either unlocked international or with some of the carrier's best buy works with.

I ended up ordering a 64gb black Note 5 from tmobile, I liked the blueish reflection of the Sapphire Black I seen on the Note 5 and I was due for a change from white I'll have to learn to live with the fingerprints

They didn't do pre-orders, they just skipped that and went to orders. They started taking orders on Tuesday and free overnight shipping.
