Best Buy banners on this very site are showing Note 5 Pre-order is up.

Does anyone expect sales to surpass the note 3 or note 4?

No.

I saw that. I clicked on on it and it goes to a BB site but there was no preorder or anything that shows Note 5 information.

I have to say I am glad that Sammy is offering what they are (if rumours are to be believed). I bought my Note 4 outright and need to get at minimum 2 years out of it to have some sort of return in investment. The Note 5 with no dramatic design change, no SD slot, no removable battery (which tbh I have never had to change mine out yet as the battery life is very good) would not appeal to me. I think I am safe from phone lust until next year around this time.

Care to quantify that statement ?

This statement clearly deserves to be justified...

I for one do have a feeling, Samsung will disappoint me, but I hope I am wrong.

With Note 5 starts new mobile phones era.

Maybe for you but for many of us who have been through umpteen smartphones, ..

And some of the supposed breakthroughs some of us can do without. I will name one, QHD.

For many of us its double umpteen 😀

MRU why do you not have a youtube channel and do reviews?

What is that supposed to mean ? The Note 5 IMO is just a larger S6 with an S-Pen, which makes it a really nice phone, but it's not a whole new next generation phone from the future.

there is not a whole lot a phone maker can surprise with.....until we get to bendable foldable screens that is....

It's in the 'plan' as it were ... I have most of groundwork. Just getting time to finish it all off 🙂

Lol it's like Oscar night. I have wine and snacks watching the stream.

 

[jamezr]

Live stream on YouTube.

Well both are announced

No 128GB and as expected note 5 won't be available everywhere only select markets

 

[Shanghaichica]

Oh JK Shin I love seeing you every year but we need someone else to tell us about these products

 

[Shanghaichica]

Where is that young Korean guy from last years note 4 presentation? Bring him back!

Crazy !!!!!!! Even though we had heard the rumours - this one alone seemed most stupid and unlikely. Utter madness and will inevitably lead to less sales and less profits. Not everyone wants a curved display phone at nearly €1k ...

At least Note 4 prices in Europe will hold out.

What are the storage options (at work, can't watch)?

 

[Shanghaichica]

Maybe that picture of the micro SD card slot was real?

 

[Shanghaichica]

The Sony Ericsson esque keyboard was real

 

[MRU]

^ The case - keyboard is just awful in real use ... That took him 5 times longer to type 'hi mom' than it would have done just to use onscreen keyboard. Actually I just can't believe they trying to extol the virtues of it .....

It solves a problem no-one was having ...
