Got my Note 4 in today. Haven't messed with the new iPhone but there is nothing that could make me think it is a better phone. Each has their strengths but this phone is sick.

shite my wife's grandmother even uses facebook.

Seriously though, what problems do you have?

Locks up quite a bit. Some edit features don't work or just missing options.

I have a large mixture of Apple devices and Android devices that I use daily. The app comment is just a complete tell as to where the author leans and its anything but biased.

Apple certainly has a better app when it comes to anything Disney and I prefer it when dealing with calendar related apps. They definitely have the better Amazon Instant App. But I certainly don't prefer safari over chrome and I still cant stand having to switch between iTunes and App Store. I greatly prefer the Google Play store. I would say nearly all the apps appear to work the exact same. With a some working better on iOS and others working better on KitKat. Its pretty much a draw in my mind.

I have not used iOS 8 yet however because I don't have the space and since I have a iPad mini and iPhone that isn't the last generation I worry about it dragging. But def prefer KitKat over iOS 7 and its not even a close competition for me.

I still cannot get over how embarrassingly big Apple made the iPhones. Seriously the iPhone 6 is only a tiny bit smaller than the LG G3 despite having a screen almost an inch smaller.

You don;t really need extra space. Just use iTunes to install

I love the email link feature in Mail, is there a similar one in Chrome? I can;t ever find it if so.

I don;t give a rat's arse how big the plus is, people bitched and moaned over a monkey size phone Apple gave it to em, and my stock portfolio thanks the fact they can;t make enough to supply the demand.

As for the 6? Regarding the 6 You and me both brother. I said as much the first day they launched. Ive and Cook and Schiller shite the bed on this one--bad, IMO. If i have problems so do millions of users. ZERO need to make the 6 bigger, without at least keeping the 4 inch around and making 3 versions.

I gave that over sized beauty 3 weeks and finally gave up on it. I went back to a 5S and I'm back in heaven. People I know are shocked i did it.

But frick it, despite what most think on here, I call it like I see em.

If that's really a legitimate concern for you, then you're probably better suited for IOS anyway. IMHO

I haven't actually touched iTunes on a computer in a couple of years.

If you click the share option there should be a icon for any mail service you utilize.

I think 4.7 inches is a great screen size.
However I don't get why they designed the damn thing with such large bezels. I understand that they want it to be symmetrical and they refuse to get rid of the button but if you are going to go bigger it seems they would have made a compromise somewhere. The nexus 4 has the same screen size with a large bezel and its a quarter of an inch shorter.

Haha If you need a stylus for anything to make your touchscreen programs work better, you're definitely not on Apple products...

Agree, the stylus adds so much functionality. Apple got left in the dust there, no surprise.

Forbes review comparison is great for the Note, but I'm still getting my Nexus 6.

I'm leaning that way myself. My upgrade date is not until January (company line- just have to pay for phone), so I'll have plenty of time to compare it to both the note 4 and g3.

The nexus 6 is supposed to be offered as a contact phone this time and on Verizon.

Got my Note 4 today. So far I am super happy with it. The screen is huge and super crisp along with it being very responsive. Yes it is big but we knew it would be already. The S pen is awesome as well. Overall, I am happy with it and for me not to be something major has to go wrong for me not to be.
