What this means is that probably the price of note3 is going to bottom.
Might get one of them if they fall real cheap and try to port SFOS to it, that could be nice...

------- edit -------

Yes, just checked it and there exists Cyanogenmod port for note3. This means that it's no brainer to port SFOS on the device.

This would be nice to try, especially if you can get Sailfish to recognize the spen. Remember that eight wonder of the world (aka N900) had not only a hwkb but a stylus which really came in handy at times. If you're not so interested in getting spen to work, I would also consider the OnePlus One if you are going to port SF as it has some better specs than the Galaxy Note 3. Also, it comes with Cyanogenmod out of the box.

Testing once a day if Amazon starts selling it. Btw I'll take the vanilla version not the Edge.

Edit: on 2nd thought, I'm disappointed. No waterproof.

Ah yes..
The Manly-Masculine-Manly-Man phone.
I believe Ron Burgundy (during a respite at his favourite waffle house) recently endorsed this new CAT offering.
Rumoured to be made by lumberjack gnomes from the wilds of Arizona...Land of the big trees.

Actually...hmmm...
it appears to drip testosterone ...
I believe it will beat up nearby smartphones if left alone with them.

Nope, it only stands half an hour under one meter of water. It's a phone for pussies. Should be marked Hello Kitty

Yes or Hello KittyKat. Actually, if you can wait a little the Nexus X sounds quite tempting. It will be running Android L out of the box,
have a 5.9 inch screen. ART should be running on it and have tons of support from developers. Might also be less expensive at about $600. Non expanable memory may make it doa for some - unless you are ok with 64GB!

I heard it was going to be called Nexus X, along side Moto X (2014).
And heard it was going to have a 5.6inch screen.
So if you round it, it is a 6 inch phone. I hope that's the case because the Moto X has slim bezels but not as thin as LG's or Sharp's. And the phone isn't thin either. So a 5.6inch Moto X would be slightly larger than Note 3... manageable!

But a 5.9inch Moto X would be closer in size to the HTC One MAX.
And that's too large for me to handle one-handedly or put into my tighter jean pockets.

To be honest, I was really divided between the Note 3 and LG G2. I think a 5.2inch screen with minimum bezel is really the sweet spot, at least for me. And I think the sweet spot for the majority of people is 4.7inch with minimum bezel.

But I went to N3 over G2 simply because of N3's leather-back, previous history, and because the Note 3 is more popular so it would get bigger backing by the community.


edit:

Yeah, no waterproofing.
Sucks that it is so, and its bigger too.

To go with my brand new Sumsang Gallixy Nute Tabbe 4...
I am considering this preeemmium qualitie bluetoogh 4 haedseet...
which should keep me in constant communication with God....
knowing He/She uses it...
since it is "Almighty Compatible" ...

Definitely my deal of the day for quality on the go communication with "The Great Inscrutable"....
for the demanding, discerning consumer of today...
yours now for $24.79 (shipping included) courtesy of fleabay

hmm...ya know I pondered the whole "Sweat-proof" thing and I'm postulating that the "Being-of-Beings"
....must perspire through His/ Her/ Its ears....
makes sense if these suckers were made sweat-proof and almighty compatible....
Or maybe communication WITH the Almighty makes the LISTENER perspire through their ears!
AHA! That makes even more sense.
I still like the thought God sweats through his/ her ears though....
Hm...




Seriously.
Really.
