QWIKSTRIKE Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Come again? Nothing you said made sense. AJ Typing Swype and a small box can kill a word or two. Long hand...The Note Edge has rural roaming, but most 1st time device's have MFG flaws, and the price is way too high. The lackluster screen of the Nexus 6 leaves a lot to be desired, for the price. Friday I will have to evaluate all three, but for a better screen, and rural roaming the Note edge has my attention. I wanted a larger screen, but dual speakers and a mediocre screen is mehat that price. I tried to edit,and could not then I got busy at work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thtguyuknw Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I just hope BB gets it for Sprint soon... I am getting anxious. I always buy though BB because I like the geek squad protection, even if, they are charging a deductible now. And I currently have about $200 phone credit with BB. but some of that expires at the end of Dec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my LG-LS980 Because with Sprint you still have to deal with the 3rd party insurance company not directly with Sprint. my wife had an issue with her phone, and they required it to be sent in to be repaired. where as with geeksquad I get to keep my phone until the replacement comes in. they used to give you a loaner phone, if your phone was completely Dead, but they stopped that which I also don't like. And geeksquad is still lower priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never used a claim to repair a phone though. It was peace of mind really. Sent from my LG-LS980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordsutch Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Best Buy also has their "phone freedom" promotional gift card for upgrades, if you signed up early in the year for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nexuss4g Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Best Buy also has their "phone freedom" promotional gift card for upgrades, if you signed up early in the year for it.I signed up both my brother and mom for this promo and they give you a 50 dollar gift card when you buy and sign a contract at the Best Buy store. You can use it towards the payment of your phone. Still have mine but will pass on the upgrade since I dont want to pay $299 for the phone plus taxes plus activation fee ~ $394 total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QWIKSTRIKE Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I got the same message, lets hope this is resolved quickly. I personally am in no hurry. I still need a bit of time to sell my G3. I like my N5 and wonder if I can find it in a store to play with it. This or the Note Edge for me....I want rural roaming bands or I would consider the Note 4! I need to see if the screen lack luster nit performance will be a deal breaker. Loving the speaker and battery/screen size even though it lags behind the Note 4 it beats the Note Edge in the battery department. I found a store that claims to have them a day ago hopefully I can try both units out. I feel that the Note edge is way over priced, but the rural roaming and better performance for 6.00 more on easy pay evens things out just a bit! I already ordered a Nexus 6 case, and now I may need a Note edge case....ROFL....decisions decisions. Anyone want to help me just pull the trigger on buying Lollipop 5 and the N6 with lack luster screen, and camera performance over the Note Edge based on the reasons I may get the Note Edge? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone want to help me just pull the trigger on buying Lollipop 5 and the N6 with lack luster screen, and camera performance over the Note Edge based on the reasons I may get the Note Edge? The display on the N6 is amoled, so they always tend to be less bright than other comparible screen techs. But if your into the best video playback experience, Amoled takes the black level cake. Also it allows other cool stuff like active display without draining battery (ask any moto X user its awesome) Another thing, as AJ mentioned rural CCA/RRPP support as well. The only real advantage I see in the note edge is the Carrier Aggregation support which is awesome for showing off your e-penis, but not much more. The curved display definitely fall into the gimmicky category, at least for now, and dont bother with it if your left handed. One last thing...Pure Android.
