        AnonD-77443, 20 Sep 2013jfgler, I have owned both Notes and 2 iphones. Advan... moreThank you for the help (I mean it).

        From what you said in summary I see more advantage of the Note 3 than IP 5s.

        - On the 5S you said it hold value better but I think I don't really care about value, it's a phone it will getting cheaper all the time. If I care about value I'll buy stocks/shares/mutual funds/property to add to my portfolio not a phone LOL...
        - the other three are less important to me..

        So, I guess note 3 is also better for productivity, just saw the note 3 demo on youtube few minutes ago.

        Cheers

            jfgler,

            I have owned both Notes and 2 iphones.

            Advantages of the Note are:
            - No Itunes (it is so painful its not funny)
            - Proper file explorer
            - Decent sized screen (4" is a joke)
            - Replacable battery and micro sd card
            - USB OTG (plug usb sticks or cards in with an adapter)
            - No restrictions on apps (i.e. i can download movie and music torrents straight to my phone)
            - Unlimited customisation options (icons, launchers, keyboards etc)
            - Widgets (some are really handy)
            - FM radio on Note 2, not sure about Note 3 but there are apps to get FM radio OTA (not streamed via data).
            - Better lock screen and toggles
            - Camera features & controls are a lot better (more than you will find on high end point & shoots)
            - The S-pen. On the note 3 it looks a lot more usable
            - Better screen and specs
            - Better battery life when in use.
            - Android has a lot more controls and options in relation to every feature. For a power user this is great but it does take longer to learn.

            Advantages of the iphone are:
            - Holds value better
            - Its really well tied into ipad, mac and iOS if you have them
            - Smaller device for one hand (the note is still fine in normal pockets)
            - Some apps are a little more refined but this problem is basically gone now android has 80% of the market.

            I haven't mentioned build quality or appearance. Personally i prefer the new note 3 and the build quality of the Note 2 is great despite the haters but i would probably say the iphone build is better.

            Hope this helps.

                  jawad younas, 19 Sep 2013Samsung should make its own software for upcoming galaxies ... moresorry you are wrong, samsung already failed with BADA os, why? its closed system and it will take years until you have all your apps.
                  BADA os sold 2% of mobiles from samsung.
                  i think samsung and other companies should put more effort by IMPROVING the core of android and not waste money on developing stupid OS's no one will use.
                  look at windows mobile, crap os. you have Firefox project, ubunto mobile and a few more failures.

                  samsung will try again with intel developing TIZEN os

                      The best part of the package is the box. And what's with the pseudo stitching on the rear cover. Ugh !

                        Guys please dont buy samsung note 3. 'Coz once you buy it you will not receive any major android update. Instead samsung will make you wait. Till next note launches and the note 4 craze goes down. You will be treated the same way note 2 users were treated. Every note 2 user is frustrated with every phone getting updates. And note 2 still struck at 4.1.2 at which it was released. Didnt receive 4.2 neither 4.3. Wont recieve till note 3 craze calms down. But not note 2. You can buy google nexus instead as google guarantees its updates.

                          Devices with 4 inch screen are ideal to have, if you want larger then go with ipad.

                            The GALAXY NOTE 3 SCREEN PROTECTION IS GORILLA GLASS 3. I've read it on some blogs and news here in the web. It is included on the list of devices that uses GORILLA GLASS on "Wikipedia: List of Devices with GORILLA GLASS." I just want to encourage those who have been dismayed, including myself, because of the reason that GSMArena did not indicate and update the Galaxy Note 3's Specifications particularly on the Screen Protection Section. It would be very disappointing if this device doesn't use GORILLA GLASS but IT DOES. This is the best device ever that have been produced so far by technology based on innovation, power, flexibility and capability and artistry as well on its S-PEN. I believe that each device has its weakness and strength as we compare them with the other yet in over all the GALAXY NOTE 3 is SUPERB. I admit that the design may not be that good compared to others but still nice. The Galaxy Note series impressed me since my Note 1 and 2. With no doubt now, it's time to level up, it's worth the financial cost we may spend on Note3 and be at the high end of all high ends. Next year's would be another. The QUESTION now is that WHY GSMARENA DID NOT INDICATE THE TYPE OF SCREEN PROTECTION THE GALAXY NOTE 3 HAS ON ITS SPECIFICATION? WHY? ...Time to think and ponder.

Why the Samsung mobile will always lag? After using more than 2or 3 months, the product will just...... I don't know what should I do with my S4.. ..even I didn't install many application, but it can't play smoothly, will restart itself suddenly or just can't open application. (some )
                                    Why apple phone just packing below 1GB Ram, but it can play smoothly than other phone like my sis iPhone 5,she already using i5 more Than 5months,nothing happen to her phone.

                                      Hmm.. Overpriced. You can compare Note 3 with Xiaomi MI-3.
