[Hardware] Anyone else getting thier Samsung Galaxy S4 today?I should get mine by 4:30pm I've also heard the boot loader is locked on AT&T. Guess we can't play with ROMs right away but upgrading from the Iphone 5, I am sure I can do enough to keep me busy with it stock. |

Re: [Hardware] Anyone else getting thier Samsung Galaxy S4 todayWaiting for a smaller aluminum model. Not a phablet fan and it is only a matter of time before Samsung gets on the stick and makes my perfect phone. |

Let us know how you like it. I imagine there is probably going to be a bounty thread like there was for the S3 to unlock the bootloader. Hopefully they do it quickly |

One small problem ..the S4 mini will not be a top tier phone hardware wise like the S4 and the aluminium body is rumored for the note 3. |

That's fine. Better battery life. Meanwhile I can always hope for an aluminum S5 mini. |

I would say, that I am very pleased with it. I am a long time Iphone user, so there has been a big learning curve, but I love this phone. Just a few things that annoy me. the menu and back buttons on the bottom, I keep hitting inadvertently because it's so close to the edge of the phone, but a decent case should solve that. I would say it's not that big an improvement if you have an SG3, but compared to my old iPhone 5, this phones is freaking awesome! |

I'm happy with my Galaxy Note 2 but I'm always interested in reading about other high end devices, so I have a question.. Does anyone have a YouTube link to a review of the U.S version with the Snapdragon CPU VS the overseas version with Samsung's own Octa 5 chip? in a benchmark test or just comparing the smoothness actually using it? |

It was a little more than I was expecting.
The phone is a powerhouse. |

$1300? Why not buy from Negri and spend around $850? |

About 60% sure I'm going to get one, with two assumptions: 1. unlock that works for the AT&T one works for the VZW variant 2. the radios are better than the VZW galaxy nexus |

I ordered one a couple of days ago from ATT's website. I already have the Seidio Surface case for it. I think that Seidio makes the best cases: » www.seidioonline.com/Sam ··· 8824.htmSorry, a bit off topic with the case. |
