But my bubble was quickly burst when it became apparent that Rogers (aka YOU HAD ONE JOB!) sent the wrong size SIM card.
Unless I'm an idiot, and can't follow instructions or follow a YouTube video, it DOES NOT FIT. My Samsung Tablet 10.1 takes a smaller size of SIM card than my Samsung Note 1, so I know something is amiss.
This means a visit to the Rogers Store on Bay Street on my way home... because I just love detours at home time!

I own an iPhone 5. I thought it was the bomb until I saw the Note 3 when a co-worker got one at Christmas. The screen size and graphics quality kicks some serious Apple butt.
So big is right, I dont have pockets big enough to carry this beast. If I wanted good resolution I would carry a big screen TV around like an 80's boombox on my shoulder. definitely not for me, but congrats.
I can fit it in my jean/coat/breast pocket without issue.
It's only an inch longer than an iPhone5 and only slightly wider. 2.31 inches for the iPhone and 3 inches for the Note 3.
Hardly a boombox or a TV!
better phone, better blogging! didn't you used to have a blackberry before?
My wife bought this phone in December and she loves it. Good luck finding a case for it. Any Rogers location should be able to burn a new microSIM card for you.
I think a visit to the Pacific mall is in order. The Rogers store near work hooked me up . Blogger is blazingly fast on this thing. Yep, I had a be and then a Samsung Note and now the Note 3. The old phone is as big as a tablet and will be used as a backup device.

Absolutely!
I'll let you know via email if I plan on going
Welcome to the club C.J. I went from my iPhone to a Note 3 and am in Love. I ignore the snide comments about the size...they're just jealous.
The only thing I don't like is my right palm slides over the back button on the right bottom when I reach for stuff. Although you can make the screen smaller if you're trying to use it with one hand.
Oh and avoid the S-View case..Tried it and didn't like it. Pain in the butt for photos etc etc
Unless you really like it, then I have one I give you a good deal on a lightly used one.
Hi Mark
I looked at the S-view online. I think I need to go shop in person. I also think a shell-like case (although some are ugly) or one with strength is a good idea instead of something soft and leather.
I bought one of the Spigen cases, it's nice, inexpensive and does the trick. Ultimately though, the back is strong enough, if you get a nice quality piece of protective glass for the screen you may even decide to go without a case.
The S-View is like $80 and looks like a chequebook. I thought it was cool for a bit (Certainly protects well) but it adds to the bulk and is uncomfortable.
If you like the concept, let me know and I'll send mind to you to test drive before you go out and make the same decision (or mistake) that I did.
Rumour is Samsung has killed 3rd party S-view cases as of the current kitkat update. The one I bought was first party.
Also comparing the Note 3 s-view to the S4 is night and day. The Note is a big phone, the case makes it more awkward. The camera function on the case screws with your camera settings and only takes 4:3 pictures. And if you flip the case open attempting to take a picture it is annoying.
I get the point of the case and it does some nice things but it also bulks up the phone quite a bit and at the end of the day, at least for me, the negatives heavily outweighed the positives. And your right, the design is great. It just plays out better on the Galaxy S line
In all honesty I prefer the phone sans case with a glass screen protector. That's my current set up... $100 worth of cases later :-)
Koodo did the same to me when I upgraded to the BB Z10. I didn't change phone numbers, but had to pay $10 or so for the new "micro SIM".
I couldn't fathom how this should cost me money; I've JUST upgraded to a $650 phone and you want me to pay another $10 for a miniature SIM when the one I already have still works fine?
rogers tried to do that when i upgraded my phone, which is a cheapy samsung android that uses the old school sim cards. my sim card is branded "Rogers AT&T wireless" thats how old my sim is, and still works fine in fact it worked fine when they went to put in the chip to transfer my contacts....so i figured why bother changing it if i dont need to......
