Here they are, all the Notes, side by side.
Maybe they heard our chant.
What do we want?
Minor upgrades!
When do we want it?
In a year!
It's been a full year since the Note 2 came out. All good things are worth waiting for, but the new Note ain't one of them. It's better, it sure is, but not worth the wait, and certainly not the hassle of selling an old device to buy the new.
Color me stoked if the next Note will be a real upgrade. I wish it will be. I was about to say I won't wait a year, but most likely there'll be new editions before that. Anyhow I won't wait. I'll get myself a current Onyx which is good, capable and frankly the best there is, but pretty much on par with the earlier ones. And maybe I'll upgrade when they give us colors.
PS. As I am writing this, I've got a sinking feeling they'll release the Note 3 Air soon. In colors. Immediately after I've placed my order.
PPS. They sell Note Air for $479.99 and the new Note 3 for $549.99. And the Note 2 for $470.99. I am trying to find out what need they intend to fill with the Air, but I failed. The only thing I can think of is that the Air has one heavier side (I think!) which may fit better into the physical keyboard slot, offering better stability when typing on the QWERTY keyboard.
