I'm still using a Note 3, and have been watching but haven't found a good replacement yet.

It's a great phone. User-replaceable battery, great screen, MicroSD slot, poncy stylus that I never use, hardware menu key (seriously Google, I use the menu key all the time). Still works well and fast enough, if not a rocket compared to this year's phones.

I find it disappointing that 3 years after getting the Note 3, apparently all the phone companies have forgotten how to make a new phone that can compel me to put down the money that I'm ready and wanting to spend.

Basically I want a faster Note 3 with a 6.5" AMOLED screen.

I'd be willing to bet I'm not the only one. How can all these companies be so smart yet so brain-dead at the same time?
