note 8 vs 9

[jhimmel]

Exactly! Why does the wheel have to be reinvented with each iteration of an already excellent and proven platform?.

Well, with the upgrades over the Note 8, for me this is as close to a perfect phone as I can get. Big battery, good camera, big screen, water resistance, stylus (all of those are important for my work), top processor, wireless charging (mine almost never sees a cable - even have wireless cradles in my cars), upgraded external speakers, GOBS of storage (got the 512GB edition) - this phone is simply LOADED. About the only thing I could think of to possibly make it better would be flat screen (although I've gotten used to the curves - not a huge deal). I don't even know what else I would add or change.
