Well I'm hooked on the spen so it's the 4 or the edge and for me $100 is a tank of gas, no big deal, and 5.0 is another waiting game........thanks anyway.

I'm excited about the note edge myself. People can say it's just a gimmick all they want-- I don't care. I also will admit I like have the newest thing out there. The extra 100 to me isn't a big deal. I just wish verizon would give reasons. I don't care to wait, I just hate not knowing why I'm waiting.

I haven't seen the note edge in any of the pictures. Does that mean your are using it?

No, I’m not using it, but I’m going to if Verizon ever gets it. I’m a certified gadgetologist and, like you, someone may call it a “gimmick” if they won’t put up the extra $100, but I’m going to get one! If Verizon doesn’t offer it, I may open an account with T-Mobile.

I have it in my office drawer.  I don't use it.  I told my boss "The Note EDGE is nothing more than a Note 4 with a edge display, and I don't need this device to code our apps for it."  I wouldn't be surprised if he took it back and decided to use it himself if not return it(we don't have restocking fees in our state).

The Edge display isn't worth the extra $100 like I eluded to earlier.  It's a nice gimmick, but a lot of what it does can easily be done in a different way without adding $100 to the price tag.  By definition the gimmick has done it's job if you want to spend an extra $100 and willing to wait for it.  It isn't for me as I being a developer I see things differently than consumers do and I can't justify the $100 when I know something can be done for a whole lot cheaper.  Also there are fundamental coding reasons why I don't like Samsung products, and that's an entirely different discussion.

Just because you think $100 is a premium for a feature that doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean it's a gimmick. I think a $2,000 sunroof on a car is a useless option. That doesn't mean it's a gimmick, or doesn't appeal to a wide section of customers.

You're stating an opinion. One that is not shared by a lot of people.

Learn the definition of gimmick... To add appeal to something is what you call a gimmick. It appeals to you does it not? You want to buy it right?

If that is the definition you mean when you use the word then fine it is a big beautiful gimick with some other awsome qualities as well.

Ahh you are a developer! That's neat! I can understand how you see phones differently. To me its just an attractive phone. I know its just a note 4 and some, but I want it, and I won't be happy till I get it
