I feel like I'm the only one who isn't thrilled about the leather? I'm kind of surprised that they wouldn't make the back an accessory and just bundle the phone with a regular cover. I'll have to reserve judgment for when I see it in person.
 
No Eyxnos this time? Maybe they couldn't get over the engineering/production issues that plagued the Exynos 5.
 
Samsung absolutely slayed with the Note 3. I am far more excited for it than I expected to be. The faux leather back was a complete wow moment for me, and I LOVE the look of it.
 
Probably a while..

I'm not waiting though. 32gb plus a 64gb micro sd card is plenty for me.

You're right. It's just that with 64gb, absolutely no worries. We'll see...

32GB would bring plenty of storage, especially coupled with a large microSD card.

I hope the Note 3 will have the Move to SD option by default.

That would be nice.

One could assume samsung learnt from Note 2 'relative flop' and all these lost sales because of this ridiculously small embedded storage.

I heard a lot of complaints on the GS4; on the Note 2, not so much. Probably, because the GS4 had more bloat with some of the gimmicky software.
 
Now the question is, how long to wait for the 64gb version?

I doubt the USA EVER gets a 64 GB version. We didn't ever get a 32 GB version with the Notes 1 & 2. Too bad as I would love to have 64 GB internal + 64 GB micro-sd at once.

If that's the case, I'll just get the 32gb and be perfectly happy. Like F123D says, that plus a 64gb micro sd card is quite a bit of storage. Also, it saves me $50 which I can apply to a case(s). ;)

Since I'm coming from the original Note, this is a major upgrade. For Note 2 owners, it's not so easy to choose. Personally, although the Note 2 is awesome, I would upgrade. Mainly, the screen, processor, and 32gb storage. Probably, a lot of the new software will get to the Note 2?
 
The Note 3 pretty much has the latest and greatest hardware specs available and the look and design is greatly improved over the Note 2.
Will definitely be getting one of these on day 1.
 
Awesome Upgrade

I really like the Note 3 but its time for me to upgrade my iOS devices. Got my Note II a few months ago so I will wait for the Note IIII it will be even better.
 
Note IV would be better.:D

Lol true

Yeah I'm really hoping that majority of that software makes it to the note 2. Samsung will make me happy.
 
Spigen shows the Neo Hybrid case as "coming soon" for the note 3. My wife has it on her GS4 and its really nice...
 
Too bad my next upgrade isn't until next November, because this is the first, and I shutter when typing this, "phablet" that has caught my eye. I love my DNA with the 5" screen and never really wanted anything bigger but this new Note 3 looks great.

Ah well, there's always the Note IV..
 
I'm really excited. Not sure if I'm read to switch from my iPhone (before that the Samsung Vibrant). I really love the iPhone Ecosystem, but I really need a bigger phone and some great multi tasking features. My upgrade is next month, so I HOPE the iPhone hits it out of the park. Tough choices...
 
i swapped my iphone 5 for a note 2 few months ago, haven't looked back. I've been saving my upgrade since June. seriously doubt the 5S will lure me back to apple...samsung/att, shut up and take my money already!
 
Samsung is smart to go with an LG Optimus G Pro like slender form factor.

The Note 1 and Note 2 were un·wieldy behemoths. The Note 3 should be far more pleasant to hold.
