QUOTE(mydragoon @ Aug 8 2014, 11:55 AM) honestly, with Note 3... i didn't think it was impressive enough for me to jump ship. so i stayed with my trusty note 2. with this coming Note 4... i think its still the same. nothing impressive that will make me really crazy about it. and worse... i fear its going to have even more bloatware... KNOX, Hubs, health apps (that i don't need), UV sensor (which I don't want)... the only thing is... the PEN... which i already have on my Note 2. Samsung seems to be forgetting the fact that the s-pen makes the Note truly unique. however, they don't seem to be capitalizing on this fact. hardly anything refreshing on the pen. and i just wish... Samsung would spend their marketing money porting over this game called OKAMI. seriously... its really good and can do with the pen. OKAMI on the Wii was a superb experience which i feel can be replicated on our Note. Very true indeed. N2 still suffice for normal usage as in call, text, surfing, light documents editing on the go. I came from S3 and I've stuck with N2 for more than 18 months now, still I don't see needs of changing (beside dual sim & LTE) function. Samsung should focus on usability on their note series instead of highlight those crap function / sensors IMO.

Mine is an LTE set, therefore it is still keeping up to modern standards.

Anyone notice Samsung keyboard on note 2 after upgrading to kit kat, we cannot customize the lower left button to be comma,setting , keyboard layout etc. It always default to setting only. I use to assign it as comma and bottom right button as period. Now seems not possible anymore ? Anyway to fix this ?thanks.

Actually if you think about it, the Note series was meant to be sort of a paper notepad replacement, with some enhancements like crop, scribble/annotate and sign. In that respect, there isn't much you can expand with that metaphor. The revolution is probably Jarvis from Iron Man. One day we will get there. Google Glass already gives some of those functions.

Google Glass already gives some of those functions. true, but the pen can still do a lot more. i mean... more gestures, refined apps and widgets... take s-planner WIDGET... i can't hover my s-pen over it to view detailed info. i can do that with the email widget. and s-note... something we love and yet hate... its good but 'closed' system. and the fact that when i update the apps from Samsung Apps/ Hub... i get two dem copies of it (old version vs new version). Samsung can surely do with some refinements in this area. they need to know that the next battle will be fought on the software battle-field, not hardware.

Kinda feel that S-Note way too heavy although it comes with comprehend function such as sketch, draw and so IMO apple's build in note are the best (personal preference). Perhaps more enhance & refine the S-pen function. But anyways, don't think there will be anymore new stuffs for N2 since Kit Katt will be probably be the last.

Thats why I stop upgrading after Note2. They kept doing the S Pen features for sharing. Maybe useful for people who are active in social media thing... Not me though. I hope they can allow more open'ess with S Note. Its pretty annoying to say at least.
