Well dang. I didn't think it would! I wonder why.

To bad as back in March Best Buy matched Sam's Club for $99 2 weeks after I bought it for the Amazon match of $199.

Do we ever think we will see a Nexus phone that gets updates directly from Google on VZW? They gave control on iPhones to Apple, why not Google?
Glad this is off topic thread cause I clicked the link for the moto x and it sent me on a journey. Not the link itself but some how I ended up doing a lot of android phone googleing. In all I really would like to see newer devices with a main beast cpu with some complimentary low power cpu to handle the lower level tasks that always might be running. I like the camera always ready to go or maybe cool stuff I hadn't thought of to do with Tasker. But then I worry about how sleep is handled, if the phone would ever really go into deep sleep...hmm I need some sleep
but, does having the phone go into deep sleep actually save battery in the long run, esp with power users?
I always use mikey's no wake lag mod (which causes phone not to deep sleep) and I never noticed and decreased battery life from not using it.
For me the GN3 offers a big improvement over the GN2, 32GB storage (25GB of usable space) as the base minimum. I could never live with 16GB (9GB usable) and that is why I sold mine off. Tried hard to live with it, just couldn't make it happen. Plus 3GB RAM, 4.3, 1080p and bigger battery to compensate for 1080p drain. Still a solid device and a great upgrade for those who either had the GN(1) or skipped the GN2 or got rid of it due to space issues. By killing off the 16GB version Samsung is removing that choice from the US carriers and saving them from a lot of irritated users like they had with the 16GB GS4. I suspect the GS5 will also have 32GB out of the box.

16 GB isn't a problem with a SD card which Samsung should have included with the phone (At least a 16GB card). No issues what so ever for me with multiple high end games and a ton of songs because of the SD card.
3GB of RAM would be useless. I seriously doubt phones come close to 2GB and can confirm that since Samsung includes a task monitor with their skin. I at most with a ton of programs open use 1.5 GB. Just added cost for nothing.
1080P is for the most part useless as well. You need to be starting hard at your screen on a 720P device to notice any pixels and I don't like the thought of added cost and stress on the CPU/GPU for again, an unnecessary component.
For me, I am done with the spec war. The Note 2 is as fast as any phone out there when it comes to every day tasks and the screen looks just as good, I would much rather see more innovation now than just lets see how close to a laptop we can get this thing!
All of this is just my opinion and I'm sure you disagree with most if not all of it and I'm okay with that. Just throwing my ideas out there.

completely disagree with storage. All phones should have minimum of 32gb of onboard storage. I am constantly running up against my storage limit on my note 2 with just a few large games and usual apps on it. I would much prefer 32gb of storage and no sd slot at this point.

Newkia? Oppo? Omate? Sony? There are a ton of awesome manufacturers out there. I admire Samsung's build quality but that's all. They've always been a crappy manufacturer.With Samsung out, what device maker are you going to continue to work on? Do you have a favorite?
Thanks
Sorry to tell you but AdamOutler does exynos processors not Qualcomm. The Note 3 bootloader will not be unlocked. Expect Hashcode to eventually implement a safestrap/kexec method that will allow custom ROM's and kernels. Although, it's taken 4 months for the S4 for safestrap to start to get underway and kexec hasn't even been started. I'd say by the same time table it'll be February when you'll be able to load a custom ROM. Who knows for kernels.
