What happens when you get a cut on your finger, or have on a band-aid? That CHANGES your fingerprint! You might be locked out of your own phone. And in an emergency, no on else could use it, either.

The future is in plastics!

I was hoping for a bigger screen. If I don’t have my glasses on, I can use my 5 inch phone, I can’t do anything on my wife’s iphone.

I love my Galaxy Note II. I'm thinking about getting the next version. I need it for my on-line businesses, but I also love the "phablet" size. Tablets are too big, and phones are a tad too small.

My work switched to finger print scanners about a decade ago, they worked great! If you had a problem using the scanner, you could still enter your ID and password. I loved it.
About a year later they came through and removed all the scanners with out ever telling us why. I still miss them, I have to enter my password about 30 times a day.

Doesnt really matter what color your phone is anymore. Everyone puts cases on them... Exactly.

You are talking about a 3 year old phone that had a small battery. There are much better android phones out there , I know, I had a Evo, hardly representative of the modern droid experience..heck when Evo came out it used Android 2.2, Android is up to 4.2 now..soon to be 4.3.

I'd be really surprised if it wouldn't allow anyone to dail 911 with the phone, regardless of fingerprint.
If the NSA didn't already have a copy of my fingerprints, I'd be concerned about the phone shipping it to them.

I love my Galaxy Note II. Me too. The iPhone 4 retina display was slowly killing my eyes. Last fall I saw all the kids riding the MRT in Singapore with their noses buried in huge, beautiful Galaxy Note II screens and said, "That's enough!" :)

Oh boy! Colored iPhones. I’m sure Jobs would have been thrilled with such innovation.

And then the NSA has direct access to your biometric assets. Have a Driving License?
Have a Passport?
Ever been in the Military?
Ever had a background check
To buy a handgun?
Get real they likely already have your prints.

This is real Mark-of-the-Beast tech: “in the forehead or the right hand...”
Apple wouldn’t want to impede the Beast!
