Im seeing the normal version going for under 500. Seems quite cheap.

Interested to hear your thoughts once you've become accustomed to it.

Should be here Tuesday from the updated tracking.

Nice one!

What network are you on as from what I can see it does not support O2 LTE?(Band 20)

Robert2k · 4 Sep 2015 at 14:19

Did you go for the dual sim version?

Robert2k · 4 Sep 2015 at 14:32

Cool, been looking at the dual sims myself. Look forward to the review.

Lots of rumours about a rival to the Note 5, the LG G4 Pro/Note:

With reports suggesting a release date of October 10, so watch out for this.

^ I hope more companies adopt styli for use with proper stylus screens and software, I bet apple could do a good job.

Would be nice to see more note type phones with the stylus.

I know, I was expecting the worst to be perfectly honest.

I'm currently on EE but have given my 30 day notice, I get terrible reception (and data coverage) where I work and also where I live. I'm in two minds who to go with, currently 3 is leading the pack as I am quite tempted by the unlimited data bundle. They also have very good coverage of my work and home locations.

If you guys have any opinions and views on networks I'm all ears

Had 3, was good value, but I found their 4G to be quite unstable.

Switched over to Vodafone and much better in all aspects (Had EE in the past like you and they were a nightmare)

I heard Apple is reinventing the stylus. :eek:

The Lg note seems interesting too, could put a hurt on Samsung if they do it right.

I've not been able to find anywhere a 64GB Note 5 on the Internet, will these not exist? Only find a white one.

Steve Jobs used a pencil to make notes back in the 80's, there's your case right there.

Cosimo · 7 Sep 2015 at 10:48

India will get theirs on the 20th with a 64GB going for $897 (£588).

Farringdon / Barbican.

First impressions, I'm glad its going in a case, the mirror / glass back is going attract fingerprints like a bitch. Also the 'gold' is actually officially 'gold platinum', it changes from a silverly to gold depending on the light. It's not like the gold version of the N4, its more subtle. Sorry only took quick snaps as I am eating lunch.

Nice.

Which case are you getting?

Muska · 7 Sep 2015 at 14:37

Looks great in the pictures. Interested to hear how you get on with it as I've started to become tempted as nothing else out there makes me want it over this.

kbc · 7 Sep 2015 at 20:40

the_chicco - that looks a thing of beauty.

One thing I forgot to mention, can you tell me what the differences between the NON-Dual Sim and the Dual Sim aside from one takes more than 1 SIM card? Or are they no differences whatsoever?

And also, what 4G bands are supported on this? Do both slots support 4G?
