Who plans to purchase a Note 4 on release day?

I'm not sure why Samsung doesn't list their phones as 128GB capable. Oddly enough they did with the S5, but you can use them all the way back to the Galaxy S2 according to Sandisk's product finder.

Samsung only makes their microSDXC cards up to 64GB. The read/write speeds are faster although I am not sure if it would make any difference while watching a movie or running your music off of it.

I am going to stick with what the specs say. I already have a 64GM Microsd in my Gnote3 now and I still did not fill it because every app can not go onto it. I just have some movies,videos and pictures. With cloud you do not need a lot of memory. 64GB is more then enough. With my music on Google music. In my opinion 128GB is over Kill Unless you have a lot of Movies!!!

I'm not sure. I'll be interested to see if it supports the larger size.

I know I'll be crucified for admitting it, but I dropped my unlimited data plan to upgrade. I checked my data usage from Verizon for at least 6 months and never used 2 gigs. I use wifi at home and now at work as well, so I should be good to go.

However, since I'm paying for Google Play All Access, I'm very tempted to download tons of songs from my library so that "Offline Music Only" mode is more enjoyable.

Still, even 32 on the phone and 32 on my current card should do me just fine.

As Preach said, cloud storage is ridiculous. I've got storage with Microsoft, Google, Dropbox, Box, and got 25GB free from VZW for switching to the More Everything Plan.

Bonus, last time I upgraded (before the Edge program), my plan got switched. I kept unlimited data, but lost friends & family or whatever they call it and Google Voice racked up my minutes like CRAZY. Apparently it was calling my Gvoice number to collect the voicemails or something. Anyway, unlimited minutes means Google Voice is useful again.

I have a handful of 64GB laying around and have yet to fill one up. Everytime I buy a new device I bought the 64GB sd's to replace the former 32GB sd's so I am in good shape now.

I gave up mine last year and got on the Verizon Edge Plan with 6GB of Data. I never went over 3GB of Data. I use WiFi a lot. Last month I just Upgraded my wife and Daughters to smart phones on the More everything Edge Plan with 10GB. All of my family just used up the free 3GB they gave us and when did not even touch the 10GB for last month. I am eligible to get Gnote 4 that is why I am getting it.

I'm not worried about using up all my data month-to-month, but I've got 2 long distance road trips (over 1,000 miles one way each) coming up in the next couple months and intend on using my phone for navigation. While doing so, I like to sometimes stream music as well. To avoid this, I'll be downloading music from All Access in the coming weeks.

They also tossed in an extra GB each month for 2 years.

Also, not sure if you had the same issue, but even though I know I don't use that much data, ever since I switched, I find myself being very paranoid of my data count, even though my cycle ends on the 3rd, I've got the phone set to alert me at 2GB and VZW set to alert me at each percentage level that they offer alerts for, and I've used .008GB since switching because I haven't been much of anywhere other than home and work on wifi.

I currently have a DROID RAZR MAXX, which is essentially a near 3 year old phone with the same phone re-released a few months later with a bigger battery. I will be upgrading to the Galaxy Note 4. I'm hoping the difference is like night and day. Currently, my apps really lag bad.

I'm disappointed though that the Galaxy Note 4 will not come in a 64-bit flavor in the USA, and with 8 cores. This is only the international version.

I was looking at the Galaxy Note Edge as well, and to be honest, I really can't see that catching on. I'm thinking that the "Edge" might just get in the way for most people, considering the curved edge is on the right side and most people hold their phone w/ their right hands.

I'm going to pre-order the Galaxy Note 4 phone as soon as I can, which according to the previous poster, will be available at midnight tonight. I read that it'll be available sometime tomorrow for pre-order. I'm currently grandfathered into Verizon's Unlimited plan and am looking to keep it, so I'll be paying full price for the Galaxy Note 4.

EDIT: I just pre-ordered it from Verizon's site. One thing I'm confused about is, it only lists a 32GB version. I thought there was also a 64GB version. Anyone know anything about this?

What is full price for the note 4?

Depends on the carrier. I think Verizon is sons 650, but don't quote me.

If you like battery life then it appears you made the right choice.

PC ..you know I get awesome battery life on M8 ...I have it fully unlocked so I'm thinking of keeping it too and swapping between the two ..I'm sure N4 if I'm lucky will only have root ...Samsung definitely gets the Note series right ...they keep improving things ..like the feel and look of it ..back cover looks better than N3 ...camera is a homerun ...it's a looker ..I got the white this time ...
