I am not seeing a lot of support for the USA Verizon Wireless Note 3. I realize it is relatively new, but I can't help wonder if the VZW is too tightly locked that it can't be rooted,etc., or if nobody has updated their root instructions yet.
Check out the Verizon note 3 forums. People have root while keeping warranty prefect.

And that is the Knox or what ever it is called, or Verizon doing what they did to the S4. I read that it was an update that made it very hard to unlock and root. I love flashing ROMs and what not. Don't know if I should get the Note 3. I have the Note 2, but will be giving it to my mom if I get the note 3.

It is a big possibility, we'll just have to wait and see once it's available to the masses. As for reasons to not upgrade, check out this post discussing that same subject:

I currently have active Verizon line, and an unlocked T-mobile Galaxy Note 3. Is there any possible way to get the Note 3 worked on Verizon? it's SM-N900T, and i can see it supports CDMA also.
Thanks
No, Verizon won't activate it

It may work, but it may require running VZW kernels or radios. Same hardware though, so there is likely a way.

I am on an original Galaxy Note and will be ready for an upgrade in a few months. I am looking at the S4, among others. I am leary of getting another Samsung device only to have Sammy abandon it for its successor, leaving owners in the lunch. I was an early adopter of the Note and now, 19 months on we have the Note 3 out and Sammy stopped supporting upgrades on the original Note not long after the device was just a year old.
My question is....knowing what you know today, would you buy another S4? If so, why? If you wouldn't, what bothers you most?
What would you buy in place of the S4?
Thanks to you all.

Lurch. Not lunch.

At this point, I would not, you'd have a locked bootloader and an older phone. I'd probably get a nexus 5.

You may as well wait and see what the S5 offers. The launch might coincide with your upgrade timeline anyways. Aside from that, I also came from an O.G. Note to the S4. While I do love it, I kinda wish I had gone with a Note 3. I was spoiled by the larger screen. :-$ And yes, locked bootloader does suck. Really limits development. And we are coming up on a year that this phone has been on the market.

I just upgraded from the skyrocket to the S4 a week ago and I'm not disappointed at all. I was lucky that it came with the MDL build do it was easy to root and get TWRP flashed as recovery. I installed the Xposed framework and a module to enable "hold back to kill" feature as well as a couple others that I like. I actually think I'm done modding the phone now, it does everything I want it to do.
Do would I do it again...absolutely!

Depends on Canada.
If we had Samsung insiders, we would have had the source code of it all and wouldn't have bothered with waiting for TouchWiz updates.
More and more I beleive that Samsung does not care about users.
My Videotron N900W8 is the last Samsung phone I buy.
For that price we should have more service.
I'lll go back to Nexus device.
Samsung, on it's way down!!!
Yes your bootloader unbreakable, you locked us out,ok BUT, Note 3 will be my last Samsung.I really don't know and don't care who Samsung sell Note 7.
Now who really win the battle?

Hmm, could it be AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint who asked for the locked bootloader? It's not locked on the international note 3 or note 3 from T-Mobile, Bell Canada, Rogers, or Telus.
