If anybody has any questions or would like to discuss it further, let's keep it in this thread among us, N2 users

I just saw today that S4 has a software update to allow moving apps to SD card! I think we should get that update as well!

x2! Go Samsung! If it is true (aka move any apps to SD), that alone will make me stick with Touchwiz over stock Android! I have 64 GB SD card that needs some loving from apps!

I really hope it will happen, but not holding my breath they will roll anything out Flagship phones get these updates first. For sure it should be in N3.

Flagship phones get these updates first.

Samsung kind of has two flagship ranges of phones though, Galaxy S and Note.

The Note 2 is the current flagship of the 'Note' lineup (Phablet).

The S4 is the 'Galaxy S' flagship (Phone).

As it's newer, the S4 is now kind of Samsung's 'main' flagship so I'm sure it will be updated first, but I think the Note 2 (as the close 'secondary' flagship) will follow relatively soon after. Then, when it arrives, the Note 3 will start to take priority over all, the S5 after that and so on...

Yeah, but these softwares have to go thru carrier approval first, don't they? This could take months!

Just like it took months to roll out previously announced Verizon update

Note 2 is advanced but also over 8 months old. Unless there are some serious bugs to fix, I don't think they care much about updating an old phone.

Yeah, this is one of the few advantages of being a Sprint customer...they generally let updates go thru relatively quickly. But, this is where iOS has everyone else beat. Fortunately, at least, the basic Android updates are now being broken up with individual updates and thru Play Store.

But, damn it, i want this App to SD update badly!!!!
