I've already taken my n900 out of it's protective silicone shell months ago, but it refuses to die... I'd love to have a good reason to buy one :D

Thanks to a new chip, the Galaxy Note 3′s huge screen won’t kill its battery

Will the USB 3 port on the Note 3 be the start of a new trend or will it be a one-off?

Can't wait for:
reviews.
Availability
Price Drop
Getting it
Taking it out of the box
Smelling it
Putting the screen protector
Turning it on
Flaunting it to others
Getting the first accessory
Rooting it
Putting custom recovery
Putting custom ROM
Putting custom kernel
Getting chroot
Trying to dual boot it
Trying to get Native Linux
Finding faults
Being content
Waiting for new Android version
Getting frustrated
Funding out possible improvements
Reading rumours about next device
Waiting diligently
Laughing at other peoples phones
Next Note unveiled
Getting jealous
Looking at my bank account
Cry deeply
Reading reviews
Being content
........ vuscious circle!

The price is 700 Euro in my country for Note 3. I think its bit too much when they don't even provide a simple screen protector!

I am not impressed that much. Not inclined to buy. Note 2 is still good for me.

Well, in many respects the Note 2 is good enough for me... but...

good enough is not good enough!

Lol.
The software on mine has become laggy. Its mostly my fault for having 3 dozens of resource heavy apps that I don't use.

And its more my fault for staying on a TouchWizz base... simply because of MOD'ed Multi-Window feature.

I think I will upgrade my OG to #3 instead of #2 because:
- community support from N1 and N2 will jump to N3
- samsung support N3 > N2
- the usual upgrades are welcomed (screen, soc, thin)
- the new dimensions are great, not perfect
- symmetrical pen is nifty
- new software features are nifty
- USB 3.0 could be useful, at least for charging
it might come in handy with my Gold-plated expensive microUSB cable and 2.1A fast-charger
- improvements for battery life (more efficient code, soc, radios)
- its new, come on

Disappointments I found:
- bezel could be shaved even further (Samsung you doing this on purpose aren't you?)
- speakers... they suck. Need HTC One tier for a phone of this calibre
- kickstand
- nothing really exciting (OtherHalf, Detachable qwerty, Detachable SHIELD-gamepad, Laserpointer, Buttscratcher etc etc)

...Does anyone know what the best way is to get an Unlocked version to Australia with the Snapdragon 800 chip? (I don't need the Exynos' power, but the QSD's extra battery life is going to be handy)
