Samsung offering iPhone owners a Galaxy Note 5 to 'Test Drive' for 30 days

[Gary86]

They're saying over at Mac Rumors that people took advantage of this to have a chance to sell their current iPhone in anticipation of the new one without having to be phoneless...

Brilliant.

Not a bad deal but I have no plans on trying it. Been there done that. Its not that apple just work but it just works for me. Everything integrates so well for me I wouldn't know what to do without it.

It seems to me like an aggressive marketing technique.

Towards iPhone users, yeah.

I signed up for this. I have a S6 Edge + arriving tomorrow. I'm exited to see how the competition compares. For $1 and they provide the phone line and data, it was a no brainier.

Same with me. I got an email stating it has shipped but says tracking is unavailable. It said to arrive by 8/23, today, but I knew it wouldn't be arriving on a Sunday.

Those people better hope they get their iPhones without delay. I'd hate for the iPhone to be backordered and then have to give the Samsung back and be phoneless for a bit.

I do think it'd be nice to be able to try an S6 Edge Plus for a bit. I'd never want to be stuck with it, though, as I hate what Samsung has done to Android and while the phone is pretty, the back of the phone is just too flat for my taste.

I'm debating on doing this as well i love iOS and how everything is smooth like butter but I'm kind of thinking of jumping ship i like the openness of android downloading things off the web and what not but not sure if they've become stable

If you want a note 5 just wait about 40 days and buy one cheap on eBay from someone who forgot to return it.

And it will probably end up as a locked-down paperweight, assuming that they also forgot to pay for it.

Cards will be charged full price after 30 days.

I'm sure, but it will be hard to charge a debit card with no money in the account. I wonder what happens in that case?

Phone gets locked down, blacklisted, and becomes a paperweight.

I saw the phone this weekend at Best Buy and it's really reminiscent of an iPhone. That's not bad at all, I love my iPhone, but I preferred the look of my Note 4. Which I'm keeping and I'm not going Note 5 and I'm not taking part in this promotion.

I never received a tracking. Just confirmation it shipped. I called FedEx and gave them my address. They said a package from Samsung is on the truck out for delivery today.
