  No one buys at that price, have a look at the previous bargains.

  $840-890 is what the price has been around.

  I wouldn't buy personally because of the 32GB only in Aus :(

    Same with me, I have been looking forward to Note 5 to replace my Note 3 but price and lack of micro sd card is a major hurdles for me, I may be able to live with 32GB though but not ideal.

  Note 5 = fail.

  If it had a MicroSD card, it might be worth it. But a flagship phablet with a max of 64gb storage… you gotta be kidding me.

  I'll stick with my Lenovo K3 Note running an AOSP ROM.

    I think they lost a lot of existing customers but may gain some new ones who like the design, will only know how well it sold when Samsung reports their results. Not sure what Samsung is smoking with their prices, they try to imitate Apple but it is totally different scenarios, if you like IOS, you can only go with Iphone, but if you are on Android, they are so many offers like the LG G4 which you can get for half the price of the Samsung flagship.

      And isn't full of Samsung crapware that you can't get rid of without rooting the device.

        Their updates are worse than LG as well, my Note 3 still on 4.4.2 but my LG G2 is on 5.0.2 and my LG G Flex 2 is on 5.1.1. My note 3 is an unlocked international version, so they can't blame the carrier like Telstra for slow updates. I think Samsung do it purposely so to drive people to buy their newer phone but they ain't getting my money with those pricing and specs.
