Samsung added a "test" when you connect to a Wifi Access Point... they check the internet speed/quality. The problem is a Wifi Access Point doesn't need to connect to the internet. Two examples... My Camera (I'm a Pro Photographer so this is really important to me) and wifi storage devices. In both cases the device only connects to the phone and not the internet. The phone should not DISABLE a good wifi connection just because the device doesn't go to the internet. So I need to carry my old Galaxy S2 just to run my camera. Also the voice quality it not great.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I absolutely love my new Samsung note 3

I mainly use this for work and it is very responsive lightning fast. I had no idea that the included camera had so many cool features, I am now using that for work. The S pen its great for helping clients understand web pages texts and even dimensions for projects around the shop. Once I was able to force stop Knox the security option for the phone, it kept giving me some crazy error I couldn't understand. The high quality amoled display delivers crisp colors and sharpness of any thing I have ever owned, with the exception of my Samsung NX300, which is the best camera I ever owned. I love how the two devices connect together and stores all my photos, making them ready to edit and share. When upgrading from the Galaxy S3 I noticed that I had a lot more control over my Google apps, making posts to my Google plus pages a snap. I truly am happy with the investment and will recommend to anyone wanting to stay on the cutting edge of technology.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, google friendly
I would recommend this to a friend!

An Exceptional Phone, with a bit of a learning curve.

I've had this phone for about 2 months now. I'm always amazed at what it is capable of. There is so much to learn about this phone I'm constantly entertained. I use it as my phone, a camera, a music player, the center of all my entertainment, my calendar. I've had some small frustrations with things not working the way the instructions say it will, but I've had great luck with the support people. I've had outstanding call quality. The screen is like a drive in movie. I just love this phone. It feels a little big in my pocket but that is my only complaint.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, features, connectivity, s pen, scrap book
Cons: Too big
I would recommend this to a friend!

This Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is the Mercedes of Cell Phones

I recently purchased the Note3 after utilizing the HTC 4 G Lte and have found out the Note 3 is blazingly faster than the HTC 4G Lte. It is larger and more advanced than I ever thought about a cell phone. It has been my pleasure to learn and use this beautiful phone and what it can do. I cannot say enough praise of my purchase and I definitely recommend the Note 3 to all my family and friends. Samsung you hit a grand slam home run on this phone, I can only guess what the Next Great Idea is.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, improve wireless bluetooth
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far very happy with the Note 3. Only problem I'm having is physical - the rear cover is very difficult to get snapped back on properly, and protective covers for the phone seem to grab the edges and snap it off when removing for cleaning.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color
