I have to say I am glad that Sammy is offering what they are (if rumours are to be believed). I bought my Note 4 outright and need to get at minimum 2 years out of it to have some sort of return in investment. The Note 5 with no dramatic design change, no SD slot, no removable battery (which tbh I have never had to change mine out yet as the battery life is very good) would not appeal to me. I think I am safe from phone lust until next year around this time.

With Note 5 starts new mobile phones era.

What is that supposed to mean ? The Note 5 IMO is just a larger S6 with an S-Pen, which makes it a really nice phone, but it's not a whole new next generation phone from the future.

Well both are announced

No 128GB and as expected note 5 won't be available everywhere only select markets

Crazy !!!!!!! Even though we had heard the rumours - this one alone seemed most stupid and unlikely. Utter madness and will inevitably lead to less sales and less profits. Not everyone wants a curved display phone at nearly €1k ...

At least Note 4 prices in Europe will hold out.

^ The case - keyboard is just awful in real use ... That took him 5 times longer to type 'hi mom' than it would have done just to use onscreen keyboard. Actually I just can't believe they trying to extol the virtues of it .....

It solves a problem no-one was having ...
