Note 3 in hand soon...questions need answered?

I have had many friends who use Verizon. They just don't seem to have the same quality of service as ATT. That's just a small opinion of mine.

This would only depend on where a person is from. If AT&T has more signal towers than Verizon in a certain area, of course it'd be better. The opposite is true as well. Though the common belief is that Verizon does have better coverage.

Isn't Verizon the least relevant of all the phone companies?

No offense to anyone who uses them.

Verizon is the largest network in the country, with the most subscribers.

They also are the only company who doesn't throttle LTE heavy-data users, no matter if they are on unlimited or tiered data plans (trust me, I average about 80-100 GB per month).

But they also are the only ones who routinely submit all phone records from their subscribers to the NSA, and they are always the last ones to the party for any significant phone release.

So, are they relevant? Absolutely.

Do they also suck? Absolutely.

I didn't know that. Perhaps it's where I live. (DFW metro area)

Sammobile throwing out loads of speculation info at the moment,which makes for good reading...

Or a good laughing with those fake Gear pictures :)

3-more days to go!!!

BTW, I gotta give credit to Zerolemon bastards :D They delayed release of rugged Note 2 case for their Zerolemon 9300 mAh battery because they want to have one universal case to fit both Note 2 and Note 3. From everything that I'm seeing, they are probably right...

The Note 3 will be taller and thinner so they wouldn't be able to make a universal case that fits both. The sides probably won't be as round as the Note II's is either. Camera size could be different as well as flash placement, and speaker placement. I could keep going, but I think you get the point.

Wow that was awesome. They really did not leave much to wonder about.


I will comb through everything and get the additional questions answered now that it is official

Questions still left un-answered:
- 64gb version available in US (and of course, you know my main concern is if it'll be available on Sprint)?
- Actual release date for Sprint?
- Wireless charging built in?

So my fellow phablet nerds. Since we will be seeing qualcomms snapdragon 800 processor I'm assuming it's a part of their front end solution can I believe in a single handset for all us carriers? Mr.Ed care to jump in as OP. I just want a phone that frees us from the telcos and spur competition and price reduction. No more price signaling or "shared data" crap forced upon us.

Tower tech will most likely prevent this for a good time to come. Even if they do release a phone with all of the carrier bands carriers will most likely still lock them as they currently do.
