      32GB ones are already fro Sale from Hong Kong. Interestingly - the sellers ARE saying that they have FM radio - but Ive yet to locate someone with one to be sure. As for the comments by people that No one uses FM radios these days - can I note that Many people do. Where I live - large portions of my continent do not have network - but a radio to warn of weather CAN be life saving. (we dont all live cocooned in big cities). Also when I travel overseas - costs of local bandwidth can be extremely expensive. Listening to radio over the network can be necessary - especially in areas where there are problems (volcanic eruptions, floods, civil unrest and so on) so it can be VERY important to travellers to have a radio (and having an expensive bluetooth unit just makes you an obvious target AND is something else to keep charged and is more weight AND another device to manage. A hassle on a long trip) Finally. I happen to LIKE FM radio... BUT I understand thats not everyone.. but some people DO.

        Some guy, 20 Sep 2013People want what the advertisers want them to want. If you ... moreI am proud owner of Samsung Galaxy S i9000 from oct 2010 and has been using it continuously. No problems were encountered except for software which i changed to cyanogen mod on jan 2013.
        Hardware is still in top notch condition !!!
        Only drawback is RAM is 512 mb, not adequate for latest Apps.

            I am a bit confused about the comparison between the brightness of the iphone 5, saying how the display is a lot darker. But then the sunlight contrast ratio are near identical. In terms of real world usage would the note 3 look as bright as the iphone 5?

              AnonD-136540, 25 Sep 2013Amazing how, with glaring shortcomings as all-plastic bodie... moreFell and look is not important at all. Not in this year, when you can get 1000 cases for your phone. It can look like iphone or brick.
              The most important thing for the phone is useability, features and performance and battery life.
              I think Note 3 dominating in all theese at the moment.
              Iphone5s? You can't compare Wordpad with Word 2013, even if they are made in same year.
              Only bad thing for Note 3 is the price. Other than that...

                Amazing how, with glaring shortcomings as all-plastic bodies, non-premium builds, non dust and water protection, Samsung phones always come out tops over all other phones on GSMArena!

                I buy Samsung phones, to be sure. I also buy other brands ... Apple, LG, Sony, HTC. I find that the Samsung high-end phones have good screens and THAT'S ALL! You will never hear me waxing lyrical about Samsung phones because everything else about them is just poor with next to non-existent aesthetics!

                I believe a premium phone should look and feel premium!

                        The main reason why i don't buy apple products anymore is because they always try to f*** u by behind when it comes to warranty

                                    The Touchwized Jelly Bean 4.3 and soon to be KitKat, with all its innovative and futuristic (though some ignorants call them nothing but gimmicks) features is definately miles away from ios7 so, the Note 3 wins over the 5S in any way imaginable, of course unless you're a tenage girl who loves the smooth aluminum and the cute tiny-ness of the iphone. ;)

                                      Moartea, 21 Sep 2013kid, you do not pay only for the hardware, you pay for the ... moreTrue, but don't u think that it is extremely ridiculous to pay for poor construction of the device? Eg. no signal when u hold in certain ways. Remember how was that fixed?

                                      Nice on eyes but poor engineering. In some ways, I still give credit to iOS but I will not fork out so much solely for that.
