Picked one up yesterday. I had sworn off Samsung after they refused to update their materials and hardware. The plastic bricks if the 2nd,3rd and 4th generation S's and Notes were horrible.

Love the redesign of the Note 5 and so far I'm loving it. Love having a stylus again.

I just got one for my wife on the 23rd and she loves it.

I have an S5 so I'll never own another Samsung as long as I live

This.

I'm content with the phone for the time being, but every now and then I gotta do a reset so I can receive text messages.

Been considering a Note, but Pelican doesn't make a case for it I will think, so it is a no go.

Sometimes when I'm surfing the browser the text from different paragraphs overlay on top of one another. Can't read shite.

This phone is fricking garbage. It amazes me that Samsung is not only still in business, but has such a large profit share.

I went from a BlackBerry Z10 to this and my BlackBerry was WAYYYYYYYY better than this phone.

I swore off Samsung as well after getting my LG G3.. Well, I got an LG G4 and that phone was craptastic... Just picked up the Note 5 a few days ago and it is awesome. Build quality and functionality are exceptional.

I came back to iPhone after the S5. That thing froze nonstop. Keyboard would stay on the screen and need a restart. Or keyboard wouldn't show up. Keyboard lagged when typing. Wouldn't unlock. Etc. so many issues. I liked the phone for a couple months until all that started.

Go to xda and find the thread on package disabling

I had sworn off samsung, but got looped back in.

I'm very, very happy with it so far and the weekly updates

That's how I felt after getting my G3 but ever since the 5.0 lollipop update it has shite the bed. I didn't like what I was reading about the G4 and had heard many race reviews of the Note 5's refreshing so I'm taking a chance and giving Samsung a try again.

I saw the thread when I was reading thru the Note 5 forums the other day but didn't read it. I'll check it out, thanks.

Have a note 4 and ever since the last operating system update my phone is garbage. Half the time i get no audible notifications for text or voicemail. Go to open anything and apps pop up wanting mme to install them. I have been with samsung phones for years and years but if his keeps up will be the last Samsung I own and go iphone.

For those with notes looking for a good case I have a speck brand that has survived two falls on concrete with just a scratch on corner of case. Highly recommend them.

They have a special right now. Free wireless charger or case when you sign up for Samsung Pay

Wish Apple would do a wireless charger.

My stylus just broke. Spring flew off when I clicked it

Samsung customer service made me want to murder a puppy

Yep. I think an update is coming soon though. Hopefully it turns out around.

Two things I hate about it... No way to connect to TV via hdmi cable and no ir blaster to use phone as remote... Other than that, it's an awesome phone
