I'm going to hold off until next friday, but its a good deal, and its nice to see other Note lovers out there, I'm using one now, and they are beasts of a phone, I dont know if its deluded brand loyalty or what, but when you have a Note you just know you're getting a lot of phone for your money, shame about the Note 5 though, but If I pick up the 4 I can wait another year for the 6 :smiley:

Why on earth would anyone want one? It's hardly an improvement on Note 4, is it, with no replaceable battery and no SD card slot (unlike Note 4, which has both).

If I buy it now and Amazon drop the price on Black Friday, will they give the price difference back?

Sure they will but if I were you, I will wait as it's been this price for a while.

I've got this phone! It was amazing up until the lollipop update..then it became meh. Battery life was severely affected

Still running a Note 3.
Lollipop didn't affect my battery life. But it has completely ruined Bluetooth. Still waiting for it to be sorted.
Sorely tempted to root the damn thing and go back to kitkat (where BT was rock solid). Being a Note 3, it'll take forever for Samsung to bother to update/fix it. If they ever bother at all .....

Anyone know best and safest way to get the Note 5? Can't believe they didn't release it in this country.

Well, you're obviously not going to find any official resellers.
So online stores that do grey imports or ebay sellers with lots of good feedback I guess.
Having just looked on ebay myself, the prices for Note 5's aren't as high as I'd have expected. Tempted. But no SD slot any more. That's a deal breaker for me. Hmmmm .... Note Edge?

To go back from Lollipop to KitKat? Really?
(long time since I bothered with anything except a stock, official, current, ROM so I'm well out of practice! But Bluetooth is so bad on mine I want to revert now ...)

Good price that. Hot.
Much better phone on Lollipop than Kitkat. Had it since launch and there is a noticeable improvement in performance and battery life.
Shame they have ruined the Note line with the 5!

It's a shame, they're slowly following Apples plan. Removing features and increase different variations for the same iteration of phone. SD Card and battery removal was one of the main reasons I bought samsungs (the note 4 still has these features for anyone looking!) but the newer ones just don't have it.

Made the jump from Note to Nexus 6P. Not looked back. Partner still has the Note phone and is interested in the Note 4. This is a great deal. Prefer the black. Thanks.

Just root it. You won't regret it. Running note 3 on custom and it feels like a new phone.

You need to make sure you get the right model , the n920c is the one that will work on all UK networks , got mine from eglobalcentral, it's £419 but if you register for the news letter you get a £10 off code . Ships from Hong Kong but they pay the import tax , good reviews on trust pilot
I use it for taking notes at work ALL the time so it needs to work. It's the custom ROMs handling of the s-pen that's always put me off in the past ...

The toned down Touchwiz is a good reason imo along with all the extra features of s-pen (not sure if Note 4 will get it). Also 4GB ram....on Android, and especially Samsung devices, it does make a difference. Overall a much more powerful device. 64GB space and one day battery I am fine with. Will be upgrading from the Note 3.

Black one here - also direct from Amazon, and at the same price:
Upgraded s2,s3,s4,note3 ,note 4
best for me was s2 and note 3
the note 4 is better but not noticeably
the only difference is the gear vr which is simply out of this world
try it and your neck muscles will get a work out.

That doesn't reset the lollipop update? Or does it solve the battery :smile:

I was all for the Note 4, but I'm not sure now. Two things concern me - reports of poor GPS lock (I use maps all the time) and the fact that Samsung abandon support for their handsets after a short time. The Note has already been out for a while so the number of future updates is probably limited. I was thinking of the Nexus 6P, but that can't work with Virgin TV Anywhere.
Dilemma!

No it just resets the google services update, and stops it hogging the battery.

I'm looking to buy a note 4 but it might have to be from Amazon fr or de. What should I look out for pls? Will the 910c and 910u work as well as the 910f?

Am I right in thinking this has come back on for sale through Amazon? I want one but want to buy it from a reputable seller

If you can hold off until January, you might see some further reductions on the Note 4 once its successor arrives.
Possibly - though the fact that they've crippled it by leaving out the SD slot and the replaceable battery will keep Note 4 prices firmer than they would have been. I've just bought a second Note 4 specifically to avoid Note 5.

Yeah you could be right. The battery and sim card slot were firm favourites with the note crowd. It's easy to see why the note is so popular with the business market. Sounds like they are going to alienate their core customers.
