Christmas is just around the corner and i'm itching to get myself a NOTE 3 though i just got hold of a Galaxy S4 almost 2 months ago.
Any Bros here already using a NOTE 3?
Kindly throw me some feedbacks (both Good and Bad) about the NOTE 3 as i'm trying to control that itch that may lead me into implusive buying.
Thanks!

well I need to declare I'm from the other side of the fence mate so my comments aren't going to sway you, however...

Pros to getting a note 3 NOW:
bigger screen than iPhone 5S
get it now before the next Apple v Samsung patent trial makes it illegal...

Cons:
not as fast as iPhone 5S
camera not as good as iPhone 5S especially in low light

i could go on but... it's not going to change your mind. So I'm afraid I'd just say if you want it, get it!!! you only live once!

The specs of the Note 3 are close enough to the S 4 that it doesn't make a difference. Which leaves the main difference being the size of the screen. Do you want a (slightly) larger screen or not?

I personally think that if you already have an S 4 then going to a Note 3 isn't an upgrade. It's just a horizontal move. But if you can afford it then go back to the original point above.

I'm still loving my iPhone 4S.

I have the Note 3 and I have been using it for about 45 days.  All I can say is that I love it so far.  If you are okay with the larger size from a carry perspective I think the device is a winner.

I doubt the comment that it is slower than the IPhone 5S.  My wife has the 5S and I have not seen any speed advantage in the iPhone over the Note 3.  I was using the 5 myself for almost 6 months before moving to the Note. I have no regrets.

Pros:
Speed
Screen resolution
32GB internal standard memory, I added a 64GB micro-SD card, so 96GB storage on my phone.  Hell, my MacBook Air only has 128GB of storage.  It is a beast from a storage aspect.
NFC capability.  My new Sony RX100 Mark II camera is NFC enabled and these two together are a dream from use and storage options.
Battery life. I've yet to kill the battery.  I've gotten close, but have not ran it dead as of yet.  I'm a heavy user of data, I exceeded my 2.5GB allotment for the month this month in 10 days.
Added Extras: not sure on the international versions, but on my US version once I registered with Dropbox I received 48GB of free storage for 24 months.  I auto upload all my photos to DB and it really makes keeping private photos private and keeps my storage levels low.

Cons:
Size.  It is a plus and a minus.  If you can palm a basketball, then the size won't be an issue.
Cost. Really, they are all about the same, but it is expensive.

Good luck on your choice.

jake.houston pretty much nailed everything there is to say about the Note3 specs-wise, but here's my two cents.

Do you not own a separate tablet? Will you use your phone for multimedia consumption (movie, games)? If you don't have a tablet and are a heavy multimedia user, then the Note3 will probably suit your needs.

You must have spent thousands of Pesos already on WGs and hotels. What is another Note 3 phone to you? It's an investment that will definitely last for more than 3 hours (your 3K gives you only 3 hours of pleasure) or months or years.....

Don't sweat over the small things. Look at the big picture .......We get to have more HD pictures when you get the Note 3

I have Note3, I actually use a Rooted China verison with dual sims.  
ITs awesome.  Last about 1.5 days with lots of use.  

I have been using Note 2 and S3 before too..

The only problem I find the screen too small. But the pics are not bad at all, except low light really sucks.

But like I said the screen is too small.  Because once you start with Note3, you will feel awkward if you use S4 again.   You always want more screen space.  I really wanted the MEGA 6.3, but its not HD, so I opted for Note3

I used nte 3 and the gear for a month now... So useful and amazing...answering call at bed even my phone is 3 meters away...

What's your preference?
Note 3 in White or Black?
Why?

i agree with freelancer if you own a s4 its is kinda pointless owning a note 3 however the s5 is due out soon apparently announcements could be after christmas and launch in end of january or febuary. so just to let you know

I'm still holding on and trying to shake off the itch for a Note 3 but should it overwhelms me then probably i should dispose my S4 to make room for the Note 3.

If you are currently using two phones anyways, then the Note3 is a good complement to the S4.

The main difference I feel is the screen quality of the Note3 vs the Note2, so that one difference was worth the upgrade to me personally.

Spec-wise, I don't see much difference between the two, probably the most significant difference would be the larger battery of the Note3, which lasts a very long time, unless you are running Skype (which kills all phones incidentally).

When it comes down to it, getting the Note3 to upgrade your S2/S4, is mainly about getting a better/larger screen with additional battery life.  You probably don't need it, but we are prob talking about wants in this thread.

As a side note, I was using a complement of Note2, S4, Win, and S Duos to accomodate all my sims.  I've moved onto using (2) Note 3s, (2) Wins, and kept my Note2 as a backup.

I have a black and a white Note 3, so I can tell the two networks apart.  One Win I use to carry foreign sims, and the other Win is only for travelling if I need a local sim.

I have resisted getting a manbag for some time, I don't really want to go there.

The Galaxy Win I've only found in White, otherwise I would prob go for a dual color scheme like the Note 3.

They both look pretty good, although I'll agree that the Black Note3 is probably more suitable for guys, and that the White Note3 is liked by women.  My girlfriend wanted the one in Pink but settled for White, if that means anything.

When it comes down to color, it's a preference thing .. just depends what your favorite colors are.

I've never had the brand samsung, say I'm over apple, but this samsung s4 for me are very interesting..
