Personally, the Note 4 is a device that finally looks better than the iPhone, I saw it at bestbuy and I played with the 6 Plus once again and the Note 4 is much more fluid and has a more beautiful design....
White or black.. Wonder which one you go forI guess it will end this way, and you are a small mosaic in this process..
If someone doesn't leak a 5.2" screen Nexus in the next week or so, I'm preordering the Note 4 and jumping on that Samsung $200 phone trade in promotion.
Have to see the white and the black in person, but most likely the black oneWhite or black.. Wonder which one you go for

Black looks better with most cases, I like to change cases often and usually order about 5 cases to start with...the white doesn't match well with most cases ...
I'm tempted by the $200 bestbuy promo as well.
On Note4, the fingerprint scanner will require 2 steps right - 1) hit power button, 2) on lock screen swype finger.
Is there any way to make this a 1 step process like on iPhone? I'm also hoping Android L will bring a new TouchWiz.

Yeah, got to check out the best buy demo version yesterday. Wow is all I can say. Felt so premium. The back plate feels even better than the Note 3 version. Grip is great. The metal frame is beautiful. I like how they color matched it. The screen is vibrant and amazing. For me, the sound was also excellent. I heard everything very clearly in a busy best buy environment without it even turned all the way up. S pen is even better and like someone else mentioned here, I loved how you could save a note to your home screen for viewing. That is a great idea. The animations were fluid. No lag that I could generate honestly and I opened up a ton of stuff. The My Magazine even opened and scrolled fluidly. Overall I am really impressed. Pretty sure I will go with the white version as I have a black Note 3 and like to alternate colors each year. Lol.
Now I just gotta figure out AT&T version or T mobile version, but I am an att customer so that is gonna be a pain to get the T mobile one at first.

In all fairness the iPhone isn't a 1 step process, although it does feel like it. The Note 4 is similar in steps, although since you swipe instead of just leaving your finger there it feels more like 2 steps.
Will it be possible to use your thumb to unlock via finger print recognition? So it can be done one handed?
You can use your thumb but due to the size of the device unless it's on a table or something out can't be done one handed.
Yes I realized you can turn on using home button, wait a bit and then swype down. I will have to try it out when I go to BestBuy.
Just pre-ordered a Note 4 on the Verizon Edge plan a hour ago. I initially gave the iPhone 6 a try but hated iOS and it's way over priced for what you get. I can safety say that the Moto X, Note 4, Note Edge and even the Samsung Alpha (I was super impressed with the build quality on this phone) beats the iPhone 6 build hands down. Apple may have bigger screens now but Android has decent hardware in 2014.
My only other options were the 2014 Moto X and the LG G3. But those phones have their own problems. Not saying that the Note 4 is perfect but I've owned a Note 2 and Note 3 and so far Samsung has improved the experience each time. And I think it's brilliant to get the Note 4 involved in Occulus Rift technology. I'm really eager to see a demo of Gear VR and what it can do.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 build issues reported by South Korean buyers
http://www.sammobile.com/2014/09/29...build-issues-reported-by-south-korean-buyers/
Reports have surfaced about users complaining about a manufacturing defect in the Note 4, manifesting itself in the form of a gap between the phones display and its casing, a gap that can easily fit two sheets of A4 paper or a business card.

Hmm...well, let's see how many units are actually affected by that. In any case I'd take a paper thin gap at the edge over a bent phone any day.
It feels like it, because it is.
You press the home button to wake, it simultaneously reads your fingerprint and unlocks.
I suppose internally, the phone is processing two steps, but the user only really does one.

Except that bent phone doesn't just "happen".....
