[Q] Is it worth to buy an AT&T Note Edge now? topic

Hi,

I was wondering if you could help me with this, guys.

I have Note 1 and due for an upgrade with AT&T. I've repaired this Note 1 many times and changed a lot of faulty components. I have unfixable problems with GPS and power button sometimes (1/month) not working until full disassembly and a lot of cleaning (usually takes 2 days offline). I also have to go overseas for some time in June and wanted a new phone without problems and a better camera.

So here comes the Note Edge. I wanted to buy it but I need the root and don't want to get stuck for two years without it. I am looking for a phablet, so the Notes seem like a good candidate

So the question is: Is it worth to buy AT&T Note Edge now and wait for the root? Or should I hold out, wait until Note 5 comes out and risk having a broken phone overseas?

Thank you in advance,

G
