for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (CDMA):The phone that just works -- even ergonomically
Samsung delivered on this phone. No real cons, the mixed experiences first, then the clear advantages. Mixed . . . Hardware usability -- the pen is tricky to learn though useful, and the bloatware on the phone can interfere with the experience. But it's very comfortable and secure to hold despite its size, with its grippy edges and back and hand-friendly profile.

for the Motorola Z6c World Edition:Highly functional, questionable build
Overall this is a very good piece of mobile gear. The bottom line is this is highly usable as a phone on both CDMA and GSM; however, I have some doubts about the build of the phone. Reception and Voice Quality: Excellent on both CDMA and GSM. I've not yet had the chance to give it the CDMA torture test (i.e. northern Wisconsin), but cell phone purgatory (i.e. elevators in tall buildings) isn't a problem. As for ...
