Dropped some $$$ to buy a non-contract Note 3 (my iPhone 5 still has 9 months to go on its current contract, so upgrading wasn't an option)... Anyways, after being with iPhone since the first one in 07, I've gotten bored with what seems like the same phone after every iOS update/device upgrade. So I wanted something new, and the Note 3 would be my escape... In 9 months I'll be able to upgrade if things with the Note don't work out or if apple has something NEW to consider... My Note is scheduled to be delivered today, excited.
