Nice phone
I don't have a Mac so am still torn between ios&android
I suppose when the time comes things might be clearer,although I'm still looking into the blackberry as I hear they might compliment my raspberry pi nicely

No shooting down from me because you made the choice based on your needs which is all anyone should do

I had a note 2 and never used the stylus, probably be the same with the note 4. Having an option you don't use is better than not having and then maybe wanting.

Other than that, the note 4 has a better screen, better CPU, better GPU, more ram, more storage and is more customisable which are far more important to me than a stylus, but I am sure you are happy with your purchase and it suits you best.

I am using a Spigen neo hybrid case and it is awesome with really good edge protection.

Good choice, Fandroids can bleat on about better this and better that, but they're running chip fat whilst we're on super unleaded. If you want a stylus they have them in the pound shop, they're a pound.

Lol at stylus, just highlights your complete lack of technical knowledge on anything that isn't Apple.

That's a bit of a broad statement, I manage to make a good living from Technology and have done for 2 decades.

Here's a link to a Samsung stylus for you http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cel...EJ-PN910BBESTA it's for the Note 4 by Samsung, maybe you're using something other than a stylus I don't know.

Loving the 6 plus so far but I expected that having come from a 5.

The footprint of it is big, especially when you add a case to it. The size of it for me is on the limit and I would not want any phone with a bigger footprint than this (158mm length, 78mm width and the Nexus 6 160mm length, 80mm width). I think it would be very hard for anyone to justify a mobile phone with a bigger footprint because then you are bordering in proper tablet size in my opinion. It fits in my pocket fine and it's lovely to browse/surf the web on, multitasking etc with the big screen but I think this is the size mobile phones are going to get and if they're made bigger, e.g with a 7inch screen then I'm pretty sure people will genuinely find them too big.

With the next iPhone (and probably any other mobile phone for that matter), the way they can make it better which I am positive they will do is maximise the screen to the footprint of the phone, e,g make the screen go right to the very edges with no border at all. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if they start to make the screens wrapping around the phone and even on the back eventually. 160mm x 80mm footprint would be the perfect largest size IMO. When I look at my 5, it seems so small now!

PS: The finger print scanner is great, really accurate and didn't expect it to be as good as this.

TouchID is a wonderful thing. More and more apps are using it now, Dropbox and 1Password for instance.

Agreed on the size, in fact just a few mm smaller in a case would be perfect for me but I won't be going smaller.

Look at the size difference of each phone in my hand. I can easily wrap my fingers around the 5

I was so impressed with Samsung Smart Switch on my Note 2 to Note 4 conversion. It copied everything with the phones side by side including all my historic call logs, sms, everything. No leads required for that or when switching my GF's Galaxy S3 Mini to the Note 2.

I have never seen such a seamless switch on any hardware + Newer OS swap ever in the past, very impressive.

iPhone does contacts, calls, texts, calendars, notes, email etc as well. I simply had it plugged in to put music and apps on . I could have also downloaded apps from the cloud without having it plugged in too.

He clearly has not used one so has no idea what he is talking about. Would like to see him get any old stylus for his iphone and try to do the things the S-Pen does.

You're wrong and right at the same time, I have seen and used the stylus, it works like a stylus but had an overlay that showed the position of the stylus, a pointless waste of resource which you won't see on an iPhone.

And that proves my point, not a clue what you are talking about.

I must say,my brother just got the galaxy S5 and he loves it. Having a look last night and it does look sweet! Great looking screen,very fast and I can't believe how light it is compared to my iphone5. He also says it's fully waterproof for upto 30mins,I know I won't be going swimming with it but useful all the same.
I'm really swaying more towards android now
