The best phone I have used, until Verizon "fixes" it

This is a tough phone that keeps amazing me. It has a few problems, software wise, but does everything I need and more. I use this phone 10 hours a day taking notes, calculator, maps, hooked to 2 bluetooth devices, music over one bt and phone over the other, texting, lots of texting, the screen is constantly on, and the occasional game throughout the day when there is a train or a few minutes of downtime. And the battery usuall has about 20% left after that. Basically I live on this device. My issues with it. Yada yada bloatware. Verizon removed the scheduled messages from the message app. Seriously. I had to download a different messenger for scheduled messages as i didn't like the idea of getting up 2 hours early just to send texts then go back to bed. Air command. It's great, i use it all the time, especially the calculator. The pen window is a great idea. I only wish the phone stayed small so i could take notes from my voicemail without having to constantly switch windows. The action memo is awesome. But it would be better if it was integrated into s notes so in case we wanted to have a more permanet copy we could save it there and upload it. Another thing i would like is write down that information and have the ability to either send it to a person or save the info to a contact. I would like to see better integration in their own ecosystem. There are to many stock programs that do similar thing and none do it great. Get rid of the message app and use hangouts, it comes on the phone and works better. The stock keyboard is just ok, there are better free options available.
I run a web development business and manage multiple dotcoms. I have all my accounts loaded on my note, ( upgraded from note 2 )... and I will be moving to Note 4 when it is out.
I am able to connect with customers, write emails, even blog without feeling restricted by a tiny screen. I could not imagine stepping down from what I have going on with my note.
I purchased this phone more for the size than anything else but after having it for almost a year, I have found that I open my laptop less because of what I can do on my Note 3. I would recommend this phone to everyone. Now I just got to save up for the Note 4.
