Yeah I'm not getting the Note 3 right away if at all.
I love my Note 2 and it's going to last a while. People will continue to buy the Note 2 and even once the Note 3 is out. People will buy the Note 2 because it's cheaper then the Note 3.
Other reasons I wouldn't buy the Note 3 is because less then a year later the Note 4 will be released.
I also will not buy another Samsung device at all if our Note 2 isn't updated to 4.2.2 I hate that Samsung just pushed that updates to the side because they had a so called delay. More like they thought for a while and since there are so many Note 2 fans. They figure they will delay the update to our Note 2 so people will buy the Note 3 for not one but two reasons. Firstly it will have better hardware. Secondly it will have the new Touch-Wiz 2.0, the new camera features the S4 has, the new S-Voice and all the other features the S4 has. While the Note 2 won't because Samsung is timing the roll out of 4.2.2 for our Note 2 just right. If they do release it before the Note 3 it will be international. So it will take months for the carries in the US to verify it and add they're bloatware to it.
So that means there is no way our Note 2's will get the update in time. That's Samsung marketing for you..
So if we don't get 4.2.2 before the release of the Note 3. I'm going to wait it out and look into LG, Motorola and HTC.
LG and Motorola have been doing some great things. Just look at the LG Optimus G2, it's display is amazing and it's features are great. I don't plan on buying a new phone until at least the end of the year or mid next year. It all depends on how things go and what is released. The one thing I do know is I'm never going to buy another Samsung device due to the lack of service you get once you buy the phone. The Note 2 was released with 4.1 they could at last put us on 4.2 before they release there next version of this phone.
But I'll enjoy my Note 2 for a white to come. If we get the update I'll enjoy Samsung for a long while to come. If not I'll enjoy LG or Motorola for a while.
I just hope Samsung does the right thing. Because it's better late then after the Note 3 is released. I just don't think it's doable unless they really have been working on it with the US carriers. So it can be rolled out in the US right away. As in by the end of this month. If that happens I'll definitely buy the Note 3 or Note 4, ect. If not then LG or Motorola, here I come.
