It still can't make a nice cup of tea

Looks like Samsung is going to launching with 4.3. Let's hope HTC does the same for upcoming One phablet

The difficult part is holding off purchasing the 16gb model and waiting for the 32gb (unless, of course, at the outset, they surprise us with a 32gb model).
With the s-pen, compared to other phablets, the note III is in a different league.
Even though HTC impressed me with the One, if the Max doesn't have a great stylus (probably won't have any), it's not for me.

To me there are two things, the stylus and multi-window. The stylus I can do without though its a nice bonus, but the main reason I will go after the note 3, all things being equal, is multi-window.
Updated Spec list.
New leak from sammobile, suggests that its going to be 5.68 Full HD and keep the same dimensions as the Note II. Also going to come in two models. A 3g model with an 1.8GHz Octa-core Exynos 5420 processor releasing in territories without LTE/4G coverage i'm assuming and an LTE verison with an unconfirmed CPU (im guessing the snapdragon 800).
Best yet, according to the reports, the 32GB variant will be available in most markets. I really hope and pray it makes its way to the UK if so then its possible it may be a day one purchase.

The non-LTE international variant will feature the Exynos Octa with a new ARM Mali GPU.
"Father, what do you say to a cup? "
The SD card alleviates some of the constraints yes but i have very little media on my galaxy nexus (photos for the most part) and i'm down to 3GB. Taking into account that the actual usable space on a samsung device is considerably less than a nexus due to the pre-installed manufacturer software, i can only imagine what that number would be like on a 16GB Note III.
I plan on keeping this for quite a while and i would like to have the piece of mind of not hitting a wall when it comes to storage. Yeah the micro SD is gonna be a big game changer for me though, coming from iOS devices and the Galaxy nexus.
New Update
Another update, this time detailing which countries are going to receive which models and that there are currently 4 different variants in production. Looks like UK are going to get both the 3G Exynos octa core and the 4G Snapdragon 800 variants.
Was always planning on going with the Snapdragon if given the choice but its nice to have the choice. Hopefully this is an omen for storage options and i really cant wait for Sep 4th.

i am, the rumored specs are great, there's a high probability that this phone will be my next phone, but i want samsung to refresh the TW's look (which they probably will, at their developers conference, Oct 27). other than the old look of touchwiz i have no problem with this phone.
Interesting, according to list, AT&T will receive the standard SM-N9005. Usually they have their own model numbers for their phones.
I might be wrong and the AT&T sold device might bear their own model number but while retaining hardware commonality with the global LTE model.
Looks my country will also get both models. But since there are 2 or 3 LTE networks active, we might receive the LTE model first as per the disclaimer on the list.
Honestly, not really this time.
The original Galaxy Note in 2011, I got excited for before it was released. I thought it could change the game and it did for phablets that the Dell Streak couldnt do the year prior.
Then Galaxy Note II came out and that was even a bigger success with great battery life.
But seeing Note III likely copy S4's designs and material, I'm not that excited. It seems like the S3 and S4 are really the Note II/III mini.
Plus Snapdragon 800 is coming out for Sony and HTC"s future phablets too. The phablet sector is getting crowded. Even the LG G2 which is supposed to be LG's 2013 flagship and successor to the Optimus G is reaching phablet territory at 5.2 inches. I recall the Asus Fonepad (7-inch) and Optimus G Pro was already released earlier this year and Sammy has their own Galaxy Grand and Galaxy Mega.
But I do think the Galaxy Note series (exception of Note 8.0) is Samsung's true flagship phones more than S-series even if the latter sells more. Sammy have more room to stuff better innards and bigger batteries inside. But with the excitement will wear off now that Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Honami, and One Max are coming too. Not a novelty like before and seeing people esp girls using a Galaxy Note II is very common where I live.

I wonder why people do not understand phoning feature is an anecdote in today's smartphone usage...
You know what they say variety is the spice of life. For me there is going to be a couple of things that will set the Note III apart from its competitors.
Number one its smaller size
. Yeah i said it, i want a bigger phone than my current Galaxy Nexus at 4.65 ( a little less due to the on screen buttons) but not too big that it sticks out of or is uncomfortable in my pocket. Comparing the dimensions of my current Gnex and the Note II, it shouldn't be that massive of a leap. Will probably go with a slimmer case as well this time around.I'm also very intrigued by the S-Pen. I'm constantly taking notes on my phone and i also use openvpn/jump desktop etc for remote access and support. I wonder how much more faster it could be for note taking and more accurate for the remote tools.
Lastly the user replaceable battery. having a charged battery at hand or being able replace a battery that has degraded over time is huge selling point for me.
The icing on the cake for me is if they announced a Google edition that retained all of its S-Pen functionality and of course was available in the UK.
If the Note 3 is similar to the S4..
I would actually welcome that. I love my S4 and it would be like just getting myself a slightly larger S4. The transition would be that easy. The Note 3 could be at the limit of what people think a phone should be. This could be a runaway hit.

Insider scoop, Note III to drop 16GB variant, will ship in September.
32GB + a large microSD card is absolute bliss in my opinion.
