Got some snow the other day and it was the stick onto everything variety, a virtual winter wonderland so to speak. I took some snaps and man all I can say is my jaw dropped. Impressive to say the least! The color and clarity is outstanding.
Disregard your deep seeded hatred for Samsung and just buy one if you really want it. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
I heard about Dyson taking legal action, but you got a source in regards to Samsung knocking off TVs, appliances, etc...? Knock off is normally reserved for phony cheap products which Samsung does not obviously make. It's a fact that the GS4 costs more to make than the iPhone. But I digress, can you give me those sources. I'd like to read up on it.

Phablets are all the rage these days so no one will bat an eyelid. I don't care how I look with my note 3, however I rocked the original note back when it was seen as a joke.
Exactly. I used to be an Apple hater but I'm not hurting anyone but myself. Enjoy what you want to. Life is short. =]
Yes... meeeeee
Well to be honest I'm normally around 65% remaining at the end of the day - the charge time then would be around 2 hours to get it back to full. Remember the last bit of charge is trickle charged so I'd say it's probably around 3.5-4 hours if your looking at a full charge from empty.
There is no difference in time between standard wireless charging back / s-view wireless case / 3rd party wireless battery sticker.
Cool, does it add much bulk to the normal s view cases?Yes... meeeeee

Not really no.
The existing S View Case is quite bulky (thick back) in itself so the difference is negligible to the Wireless S View.
The difference is far less for example than the normal thin back to the wireless charging back.
thanks mac
I've got the charging pad and have thought about getting the s view wireless cover. My only question mark was how long it would take to charge on the pad.
Talking about charging times. My note seems to be charging from less than 10 % to full in about 2 hours? Is this the right?
My s4 also charged in roughly the same time too.

Is the note 3 a more productive device compared to the iPhone? Yes.
Will it sync as seamlessly with your Mac? No.
It can be done but will require use of other services such as google drive which can push photos into iPhoto using Automator. This will give you access to docs saved on your Mac as you can always just save them to drive instead of locally and use google quick office to edit and create on the go. Google music manager will keep all of your iTunes music synced.
If you plan to switch back and forth regularly, I'd suggest not activating iMessage on the iPhone and just using standard SMS/MMS for your messages. A common problem encountered (myself included the first time I switched) when moving from an iPhone to another device is the Apple servers still have your mobile number associated with an iPhone and any messages sent from another iPhone never reach you on your Android device. Taking the appropriate measures to deactivate iMessages will usually ensure it'll work (eventually

Thanks for the info. I will make sure I turn it off before hand. So is that all then I would have to worry about? Nothing else?

What about if you want to still use iMessage by your email address?
You can still do that, just realize that people of the iPhone can't tell the difference if your texting them on the phone or computer, so the next time they text you it may go to you computer I message and not to your phone so you may not get the message in time.
God knows. I have an unlocked unbranded BTU model and I too am still in Limbo. God I hate android software rollouts. ...
