Gonna get mine next week on the 26th. Delivery to my home. Same here, a Note 3 user, once I got used to the S-Pen, nothing in the market entices me. Well I do know of the shortcomings for battery and memory card, but honestly, I don't play games or watch movies or consume much battery. Mostly for whatsapp and emails and s pen. Even if i take photos, it goes to the cloud storage almost immediately and I erase it thereafter. Keep the positive feedback coming, can't wait to get my hands on mine!

On the side note, any lobangs for good screen protectors and cases?

Hmm ... me too but I also have this very frequent, I should say situation ... I have swiftkey installed ... so everything would be fine till about 10 seconds later ... the keyboard will just dropped out of sight while I was still typing away ... and then return 3 seconds later.

After that I can continue to type and it will not happen again.

I tested the USB 3.0 on boh note 5 and note 4, can see the speed different. Probably due to the UFS 2.0 storage on the Note 5.

It has to be the ultra fast speed of the storage implemented in Note 5. Nothing to do with USB 2.0 or 3.0, because the USB port in Note 5 and 4 only supports USB 2.0.

The type B ports for USB 3.0 is the one found in Note 3. Note the port design is USB 2.0 + extension.

The USB 3.0 OTG refers to the type A USB port which the OTG is plugged to computer. If the computer cannot support USB 3.0, the whole operation from computer to phone relies on USB 2.0 all the way.

Just for everyone's information.

Any heating issue with note 5 here with any bros here?

Previously, I was using Galaxy S6 and faced serious overheating issue so much so that I couldn't hold it. Took a gamble to purchase Note 5 this round.

So far so good, though Note 5 is sharing the same chipset as S6, same metallic body and all.....no overheating issues for me even as I game often :D

I swapped the S6 for the Note 5 64Gb gold on Sunday late afternoon.

So far, it is really good. The screen is really clear and training my myself to use the stylus more frequently.

No heating issues. Really fast. Good memory management unlike the S6 (you know what I am talking about).

Been a long time Blackberry user and would most probably buy the keyboard attachment once it is available.
