I really, really, really want to be excited for this phone. I really, really want to want it, but I just can't. I love Phablets. Especially the Note. I love the S-Pen. But, in the end, it is still running TouchWiz as its UI and I hate hate hate hate TochWiz to a level that is really probably unreasonable. Every time Samsung does something to try and "improve" TouchWiz, it gets worse. I dealt with it on a Note and went through the hassle of rooting and finding a ROM that gave me some of the S-Pen functionality back, and I won't do it again. The Note 3 is an amazing piece of hardware, with some neat software features, that is completely and totally ruined by the ugliest smartphone UI currently being produced. I went through this same thing with the S4. On paper it was the perfect device for me. I was even due for an upgrade. I went to the store and tried so hard to fall in love with it. I walked out with an HTC One. I simply cannot get past TouchWiz. It looks like iOS1-6. It needs to catch up with modern UI design.
