Oh yeah, Note II dominated everything! 3 awards from www.myphone.gr (its the #1 site regarding phones/tablets in Greece).
Interesting thing is that in the poll for the Readers Choice Award the iPhone 5 did VERY VERY BAD! (Good times! ) On the other hand it was a hard battle between the SGS3 and the Note II.
The 4th and last award was nominated to the LG Optimus 4X HD (Best Value for Money 2012). Only phones available in Greece took part (thats almost every phone there is with GSM, no LTE coverage yet here anyway).
The truth is that in our little country Galaxy Note is popular.
I can see lot of these people who made jokes with note, have bought note ii.
And many iphone users change to note too.
I have always been faithful to the note line and always upgraded to the latest models, but i cannot lie that the s6 edge is truly the first line from the "S" models that will make me go for a smaller phone. Anybody feeling the same way?
the emerald green keeps shouting *buy me buy me* lol

The Edge is a thing of true beauty..however I'm sure the Note 5 will be spectacular and I just can't return to the 'Dark Side' of small phones

Yep, I have the Note 4, but that S6 Edge looks like a thing of beauty, and I haven't really used the S-pen as much as I thought. And a slightly smaller, pocket friendly phone would be okay.
So I have preordered the green S6 Edge. Couldn't resist!
Hold your money i would say. Note 5 will bring this little piece to shame. Trust me note line is the real landmark of Samsung.

Well, I live in Denmark, so it probably won't help you, but ordered it at callme.dk
Should arrive on the 11th of April, they said.
Un saudi no word yet of the green one
me too, going from the note 3 to the edge because the n4 wasn't enough of an upgrade for me. I fully expect to be selling the edge to pay for a note 5 when it comes out tho

Danish here myself, and the green one wont arrive until june. It even says in stock unknown with callme if you check. All other colors will arrive on the 10th except green. If you check everywhere else in Denmark you will se they all say green wont arrive until June. So you are in for a long wait unless you pick a different color.

Bugger, that doesn't sound good. Strange they don't tell me then.
Here in US I'm seriously thinking about it but... I got the very expensive ($900) Note Edge 1st day out. This phone is awesome once you master customizing the edge screen. After using it for awhile it feels very natural. unless you own one it's very hard to understand just how useful the edge is. Don't get me wrong though, I am going to buy the S6Edge but only because it's shinny and new. "The Galaxy Note 5 Edge* is the only real upgrade for me. If the 32g Note Edge cost me $900.(which is the most expensive device I ever purchased) I guess the newly designed metal and glass 128g Galaxy Note 5 Edge will cost? $OMG$

haha for sure.
but for a different perspective, when the note edge was released in the middle east it was around 1100 USD. the 32 gb s6 edge is around 826 USD on launch

I've just been in contact with them, because I wanted to know if this was true. Thankfully, they said that I preordered it early enough to be in the 'first wave' that gets it on the 10th/11th of April. So that makes me happy!
But of course it's not good news for people who ordered later/too late, and therefore have to wait until the 'second wave' of the green Edge phones arrive.
UPDATE: Bugger. In spite of their promise, they have now told me that it will be delayed to late may or beginning of June...
Hey guys, do you know how much the price of the Note 4 is going to fall after the note 5 is realesed on September ? I care about the price without carriers and all this stuff because I really want a new phone and I am between the note 4 and the A7
Don't know but I can remember that a generation before the difference wasn't that much that I thought about getting a Note 3 instead of a 4.
Could be different of course if the Note 4 has the features in store you're primarily looking for (exchangeable battery, micro-SD etc).
150$ drop may be..
What and why Samsung you do this?
Until thill now we wait and was happy for new flagship release but now Samsung you just counthing money and sold phone?!
When you release few years ago phone they have new function and beaty now older phone have more choise then new.
When you see Note 4 vs Note 5 you will see more on Note 4 then on Note 5,small difference between this brothers.
I have S1,2,3,4 and then I go on Note line but after Note 5 I ask my self what now to buy when change Note 4???
#OFFICIAL No Note 5 for Europe,one more dissapoiting.
Best regards guys!!!
3000mah battery!!!! Samsung better fire som people!
Well . Thanks samsung for loosing a dedicated costumer!
Agreed. For the first time in 4 years, i missed live stream. Not interested at all. Samsung is just pushing their loyal customers away.

Bad bad and bad nothing new.
For me bigest dissapoiting is displey 518 ppi note 4 515 ppi and battery 3000mah note 4 3200mah,Samsung going down,self touchdown,NOCKOUT.
LG 4 pro looks interesting... They compared to iPhone 6 plus... Which has more memory and with the new iPhone coming out apple could kill Samsung.... And iPhone updates are way faster.. Goodbye Samsung or or may keep my note 4 for another year by then I may get update to 5.1.1...and they thanked loyal fans.... And they listened to what we want?
I agree man
Samsung please leave glass................ use metal or plastic but leave glass
I noticed that for the first time there is no difference in design or materials used for building both the Galaxy S6 & Note 5, same design & same stupid glass.
look to the design of S4 & Note 3 ........... there is a difference
S5 & Note 4 ........... there is a difference
This year I think Samsung missed & made such a stupid step back & it will cost Samsung a lot
Say No For Glass
Agree but Samsung made too many mistakes now like battery etc

Most likely the note 4 will be a rare piece! It will retain its price due to Note 5 epic fail.

Probably not a rare piece, but it just makes the Note 5's value proposition look that much worse!
Note 4s are going for about $300-400 right now and do a whole lot more despite being last year's model; why not just keep buying them? Perhaps Samsung will get the hint when last year's model outsells this year's model by a significant margin.
As for me, I'm not even going to sell mine; I'll just keep rocking it 'til it dies.

Does not really matter, since catering to the sheep gives greater margins than attracting geeks.

You said it.
Suggest Samsung should come up with 3 Note models every year and deliberately tag them officially as below:
Samsung Note Classic
Samsung Note Sheep
Samsung Note Floosy Edge
Never change the Classic model on the core features, yes improve and evolve the design.
For Sheep and Floosy variants, go and fsck yourself and do whatever it takes to keep the drunk suites happy.
If they wanted to carry experiments, they should have done on edge version only. Damn why they don,t realize that note users want bigger battery n microsd.
Sent from Galaxy Note Edge
Because the note users you talk about would probably buy less units than sheep that just don't care about tech specs .

Some more like hole damn department they seriously goof and just got lazy with the note 5 build . Instead they just use galaxy s6 plus mold and just reversed the screen.

Agree with this thread. I have had the note 2, 3, and just bought the 4. Bought the note 4 only because of what they were doing with the 5. Unless they get rid of the glass back I won't buy another one. I love my note phones but don't like the direction they are going now with glass back, non removable battery, and no SD card. If they wanted something premium seems like they could have gone with leather like LG or some other premium material that would at least let the back be removable.
Interested in the LG g4 pro but the display in their LG line doesn't seem to be as vibrant as Samsung's but will have to see what it looks like when it comes out. BUT for now will enjoy my note 4 as long as I can.

You didn't miss anything on the live stream. It was pathetic, almost embarrassing. The only thing worth a mention was the faster wireless charging. It was a real yawn fest.
I am absolutely disappointed by this!
Terrible move by Samsung for not releasing this in the UK.. Kick in the teeth
Time to think about changing brands
Apparently no 128gb model either. A person on a forum linked a Verizon page showing a 128gb, but Verizon is stating was a place holder for the launch and based on S6 offering one. I guess
a few days/weeks to see if Samsung changes their tune and then months before one could be added to the line up and landed to consumers.
EU actually.
the entire continent is missing out on the note 5, not just the little island in the west.
In fact Samsung now offer more or less only one phone in two sizes and with our without round edges (S6/edge/edge+ and note 5) and then they castrate themselves by taking the note from 1/3 of the world market with the argument that the phones were too similar and they would fear a cannibalism effect like they suffered already with S6 and S6edge. If they would had designed the note 5 differently and had given it besides the pen other differentations like replaceable batteries, plastic housing, sd card and water proofness they could have addressed different potential customers and they would not had the need to withdraw it from Europe.
Almost like Samsung is being mind controlled by Apple, since Apple could not hope for a "better" product to go against with the new iPhone 6+.
What a stupid decision are Samsung determined too cede their market share to their rivals.
At the most it may appear in the EU next year.

This article contains an updated statement from Samsung.
http://www.engadget.com/2015/08/13/...d_Classic&utm_campaign=Engadget&ncid=rss_semi
It has to come to Europe. I am defiant by that statement. Even if it will be in 2016.
I still think it's ridiculous though. I thought, I'll skip the Note 4 and get the 5, and then it's delayed by six months.
The market availability of the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will vary according to consumer needs and the specific market situation. The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will be introduced in the US and Asian markets in August and we will look at further opportunities to launch the Galaxy Note 5 in other markets.

What about the MENA region??
Short story of my day...
"Uhhh, can't wait for the new Note 5 as I wanted a replacement for my Note 3."
Samsung: No SD card.
"Okay, not fond of it but I will survive."
Samsung: Can't change battery.
"Ahh dammit, but still want it."
"Actually just shut up and take my money!"
Samsung: F... you, we won't sell it to you.

Imo this was a very risky, bold move by not releasing this in the uk. But when you think about it korea and china constantly get phones that the uk and us dont. Im not going to bash them becuase i have an s6 and love it. We all should of known the note would be nothing but an overblown s6. Just like the nexus 6 was a moto x 2014 on steriods. Id assume once sales drop for sammy they will come to their senses and at least bring back an sd card on the s7 and note 6. Not much different than the "flagship killer" oneplus2 with no nfc or the m9 that was just a m8. Not a great year for new devices.

They can't release right now in the UK or their sells will really tank.. You guys are going to get the note 5 with the 7422 processor, epop modems and a much bigger battery.

My god . . . Can it be true that the giant landmass of Holland is missing out? Shame on the OP for focusing on the UK when the teeming billions of Dutch will miss out.
and the French, Germans, Spaniards, Portugese, Belgians, Greeks, Italians, Slovenians, and several more.
no one wants the note 5 anyway, they can keep their gimped downgraded phone, who cares.

yup, I love my S6, had to buy it because my moto x 2014 broke but I really wanted to wait for the note5. I was still ready to get the note5 when it would come out but this phone is not even a straight upgrade from the s6, why did they remove the IR blaster?
By the looks of it the AT&T model supports the UK 4G bands (3, 7 & 20).
My girlfriend is currently in the States and returns in early September.
If she purchased one direct from an AT&T store to bring back for me, how long do you think I'd have to wait before people were able to offer unlock codes for them so I could use one with a Three UK sim card?
Apple here I come!!!
Samsung touch wiz still an issue. Had the s6 Edge which was cool but battery was poor and poor. Probably same issue with s6 Edge + and the price will be another deciding factor..
HTC pretty much quiet next couple of years due to loss after loss.
Moto x just not premium enough.
Chinese phones just don't get to us in time.
So apple it is.. Nooooooo

Did that baby it was nice whilst it lasted the whole month! Again touch wiz and the lag was too much to handle.
People are going to make a pretty penny doing import sales of the Note 5 into Europe I suspect.
