Half a neo in more ways than just price....
plus in 4 + years the planned obsolescence will make it a very expensive paperweight ... buying it new, now.

no.

used at half that sum ...still no.

I almost like the whole phablet size thingie... but then the size thingie ends up being a complete issue ... finding a pocket big enough... not to mention taking a call ...and holding a billboard to my head is a bit much.
At the other end of the spectrum... the n900 screen real estate is pretty tiny.
I have good eyes... but still... (sigh)
the sweet spot was the n8x0 ... perhaps a wee bit larger even...but phablets just aren't portable enough for my liking ... going for hikes and all...
enough of my divergent behaviour from the original topic...
and back to it...
Friend of mine pooched his galaxy s4 ...
if I could fix it it was mine.
hahaaha...
fixed.
new toy to play with...

If such a device as a brand new note 7 were given?
perhaps...
Not sure I want to carry the thing around.

is it worth it?

For me... in so many ways....
No.
I'll wait for my neo.
