Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback! I've had this phone for 7 months now. A few months ago I bought an iPhone 5S, partly out of curiosity to compare it with the Note 3 and partly because my home desktop is an iMac and Android 4.4 won't talk to Mavericks except via Kies. Reader, I hated it! After the Note 3 it felt way too small, the screen especially, and I discovered that I really did not like iOS. So I solved the desktop issue by dual-booting the iMac with Ubuntu as the other o/s, and sold the iPhone!My Note 3 is rooted, running Echoe ROM and Apex launcher, and I love it to bits. The display is stunning and makes me feel good every time I look at it. The S Pen is great - a friend was having trouble setting her phone up and I was able to take partial screen grabs, then annotate them in handwriting ("put your wireless code in here", draw arrows to the buttons to push etc) and mail them to her, which she found extremely helpful and saved a lot of words in an email!I love the power of the thing, the fact that you get a keyboard with a separate row for the numbers (yay!) by default, and that it has a Micro USB3 charging port which makes charging significantly faster than with USB2.People moan about Samsung plastic being tacky, but I don't find it so. I know the iPhone is all-metal etc but I don't ever find myself thinking "I wish this phone had an all-metal body". I love it just the way it is, and unless somebody comes out with something really amazing, I'll replace it when the time comes with a Note 4 or maybe Note 5 by then.
