Another member already posted this, but good news is... the command center widget works with Nova (on knees, clutching chest - sobbing)

You're going to love that the CC widget works with Nova Launcher on this phone I also use Nova and stealth icon pack. It compliments the speed and fluidity of this device.

Whaaaat? That's bananas!

Now Wednesday needs to get here so I can see what all this phone can really do. stupid mail order phones...

I'll just copy and paste my response from another post lol. I do have time on both phones fyi.

I had the note 4, returned it for the turbo... Shouldn't have believed the hype I guess. Today took back the turbo and got another note 4. No lag for me. Turned animations down, running nova. Deleted bloat and it's very fast. I personally see better battery life from the note then the turbo though they are close. I don't use the s pen at all but the screen to me is better on the note. The camera is better. Reception on the turbo was very weak for me. Drove from Oregon to Arizona with the note. Drove back on the same route with the turbo and was so disappointed in how often I had no service with the turbo when the note was just fine.
I seen no benefits of the turbo for me. I think the note is a better looking, better feeling phone that does so much. I do find stock Android bland and boring though. I'd personally puck an iPhone over stock Android. I like htc, Samsung, Sony etc because they give features above and beyond what basic android offers. To each there own I guess but to me. The droid just felt boring. But for those wanting a smaller device the turbo would be the phone to get. If size don't matter. Note all the way

As far as I really don't like touchwiz, I'll admit that Samsung has really stepped up with the N4. The droid turbo is also an amazing phone (at least on specs, not a fan of the design), but I believe the N4 would win in quality and probably be on par in performance (given you erase the bloatware and change the launcher)

Either way both are exceptional "you can't go wrong" phones, so the decision should be based on needs (or aesthetics, if that's a deciding factor for you). The note 4 is a great productivity tool with lots of features, the turbo (at least in sheet, people posting battery percentages at day one need to wait. Bit for the battery to settle) should withstand really heavy use all day, maybe two of light-moderate use

PS: I actually think I would go for the nexus 6, but that's probably because I always wanted to have a nexus lol.

Great Fanboy post right here from the OP.

yours too! maybe even better!

When I was in the store looking at the Turbo I checked out the Note 4 sitting next to it. I tapped on the apps tray and it lagged for about 3 seconds before bringing up the icons.

surely you do not believe this is the case for all GN4 phones, do you?
