Right now I am still using an old Note 2 and it still gets the job done just fine. I don't mind keeping it, yeah it's getting boring and old, but just like the wife that's no good enough reason to replace her.
Unfortunately Verizon is being jerks about us grandfathered unlimited data people and raising the cost by $20, per plan. For my girl and I, this is a $40 bill hike. Realistically, it's not worth that much to us since we don't even go over 8GB anyway and that's without using WiFi and generally trying to be good about data. This rate increase is making us seriously consider abandoning unlimited data plans if only for the sake of upgrading our phones finally. And of course loving the Note 2 like we do, the Note 5 was the first likely choice.
What I'd like to know is, is the Verizon version of the Note 5 any different from the International version besides radio/SIM components? I mean does it have a weaker processor/GPU and missing software features? I already know it cannot be rooted, which really bites since both our current Note 2s are fully unlocked and rooted running custom bloat-free ROMs.
Also, does anyone feel they're missing anything with this device? Meaning, are you having any doubts about your device and wish you had purchased something else? I used to be very quick to jump to a new device without doing significant research into various other devices, and I feel that's bit me in the buttocks on a few occasions and I'd like to avoid that as best as possible. To me, there is no better research than hearing direct from end users who are currently on the device in question.
Thanks for any advice and details you can offer.
TLDR version: is the Verizon Note 5 weaker/missing features. Do you regret buying the phone wishing you had another device? If so, why?
