Back to the topic...

I am currently using my Galaxy Note II for the 3rd year. I just cannot use a 3.5" or 4" phone. Now I am waiting for GN IV and iPhone 6 to be announce and see which way I would go. I am leaning toward iPhone 6 if it has a 5.5" version.

The biggest problem on the GN II for me was the forced OS updates. I don't want to root my phone and I was perfectly happy with order version of Android. But the carrier (AT&T) kept pushing out different updates.. some make my phone slower.. some drain battery faster.. and I don't want to spend hours doing a factory reset to try to fix it. I never had to do it on all the iOS products in the house. If I want to keep the iPhone or iPad in the same iOS version 2 years ago.. I could.

Oh the other hand, I could have XBMC installed on my Note II without rooting. It is nice to have the flexibility. But I think I am leaning toward stability more than flexibility at this point.
