Anyone keeping Note 3?

[joebloggs13]

I prefer the physical home button rather than the onscreen buttons because they take up screen real estate. Not cool!

You can get rid of the on screen buttons through settings, so in fact you are not losing screen real estate. You are in fact gaining, because of the reduction in bezel size. The lg g3 is a prime example of this. The front of the phone is almost all screen, and what a screen it is... Fantastic!

Nope. I'm getting the note 4. Had my Note 3 since December and love it, but my work will pay for a new phone every year, and that's renewed every October. I'd say that's perfect timing!!

You're really lucky! I envy you! Haha.

Tried the s5 but went back to my note 3. ☺ I like the camera on the s5 but it was too small for me. I may be upgrading to the note 4.

Probably keeping it. I can think of better ways to spend the cash... Might join a second hockey team this winter!

Bought my 3 in March for 179 on Amazon. Love it. Does everything I want. Unless "5" is significantly better when it comes out I will be happy with the 3 in a year and a half. The last update has given me double my previous battery life.

Yes. Keeping the Note 3. got it in May so will have had only 5 months before the 4 comes out. So obviously I can wait. Love the 3 just fine. very pleased with it.

Yes, just bought it. I had the note 2 and loved it, but moving from Verizon to At&t and needed a new phone fast.

Im gonna save 500 this year, hopefully next year too.

Other than Gear VR, I have not seen reasons compelling enough for me to spend another $500 (assume trading in or selling can return $300).

I'm thinking the same thing...

Keeping it for now. Only a year into my two year contract.
Besides, my wife said no...

I decided to pre order mine yesterday. I can't wait to get it!

Was about to upgrade to note 4 from note 2 but broke my note 2 just before n4 release in my country. Got a note 3 and love it. Likely be my device for another 2 years.

I hear that! I'm on an older AT&T plan and they were confused and couldn't give me a straight answer as to when i could upgrade until the Note 4 came out today (don't ask me why). So my Wifes is due in February and I have exactly 1 year left. I'm just going to hold out and wait for the Note 5. The N3 has been plenty of phablet for my needs anyhow.

With a newly purchased Spigen Neo Hybrid Case, a perfectly installed Skinomi Tech Glass, and Nova Prime set up to my liking I will be staying with my AT&T Note 3 for a good while. I'm very happy with it.

I am actually still using my Note 2, that I still truly love, but was going to move up to a Note 3 ($99 save some $$ and not be too many models behind) and skip the 4..... But waited to long and missed out on white from the only place I will get my phones. So I will be going to the N4 soon!

Just ordered a Note 3. I had one before but moved to the HTC M8. Miss my N3 though and the N4 just doesn't seem to offer any huge improvement to justify the extra cost

I pre-ordered a note 4 because of the best buy offer ($200 for a worthless iPhone 3G) and I had an upgrade waiting. If they wouldn't accept the 3G, then I'd have passed and held onto my upgrade another year. If my pre-order doesn't show up, then I may keep the note 3 anyway.

My understanding is ois relates to the camera which is the least important part for a phone to me. I never had an issue with the N3 screen or power so display and processor didn't strike me as important improvements. Each to thEir own I suppose
