I think this is awesome! All this is doing is taking power away from the carrier and moving it to the customer. We should all have more control over our phones and that control shouldn't be limited to only Apple customers.
Agreed times 2. I've been saying just that for a few years now! The only way we, the customers, get true freedom and mobility to choose and change our carrier at will is for the de-coupling of device cost and network charges.Good. The next step in breaking up the carrier oligopoly is to ensure that any device can be activated on any network in the world. I don't want a contract with my carrier or owe them for my device. Give the masses freedom to switch networks at will and we can stop having conversations about the meaning of "unlimited".
erm, pick oneDo they already have a pink metallic phone? That's what I was expecting from Samsung actually.
Overall, definitely a win-win for consumers.People are right to criticize Samsung for copying Apple. But I think this is a win-win for consumers if Samsung manages to free itself from wireless carriers by leasing unlocked phones at a competitive price. In turn, wireless carriers will respond with more competitive pricing and perhaps allow phone manufacturers to bypass carriers when rolling out firmware updates.
I wish Samsung corporate would just get it over with and finally take the most important step in their transformation: announce a new logo and make it a fruit.
The fanboyism on this site is pathetic.
I agree. It's pretty pathetic how some people who are anti-Apple fanboys come here just to make negative comments. They know they're just being contrary in "enemy territory" and enjoy it. There are plenty of other places they can go be anti-Apple fanboys.
It's wonderful to have a range of comments and views here but the anti-Apple fanboys who visit just to troll are pretty sad.
Dude I'm talking about the Apple fanboyism. Just because this is a Apple site doesn't mean you have to **** on Android devices or vice versa. And defend everything Apple related.I agree.

There are plenty of other places they can go be anti-Apple fanboys.

And soon Samsung is going to come out with force touch, copying apple yet again!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
I can't even take this seriously anymore. I use to give Android guys slack but tried using a Note 5 in the store the other day and it was horrible... Only thing I'll give them mad props for is that gorgeous display.
Because leasing is exclusive to Apple.....
kinda like some of the features you just got on IOS 9 that Samsung has been doing
3d touch.....lol
I'm sorry - I don't believe you used the Note 5 remotely long enough to determine it was "horrible."
It's hard to believe that one of the top rated phones of this year by many publications is horribleSo the OP thought is was horrible and you don't think so. Instead you try to justify why that poster is wrong.

Yes that must have been my point.So everyone has to agree with you or a publication, that's your justification? The OP did mention that they the screen was great.
