It's available on pre order with most companies except Verizon and will be in stores April 11th. A lot of people have crapped on the phone because the lack of innovation but whatever. Its better than my archaic POS. I'm excited to get a new phone next month, it's been about four years since I've upgraded (still running android 2.2).

I won't buy another Samsung, I have replaced the power button on my s3 and several friends Samsung phones. I'm about to get the new htc m8, it's a higher quality phone.

I'm definitely disappointed in the s5...My upgrade is in June and I may wait for the note 4...Not sure when it'll be available though.

Yeah I plan on keeping my note 3 until the 4 comes out. The 3 is a beast though...

I had relatives with the S3, and they got tired of it quickly. As for the S5, I'm not getting one as I just bought a LG G2 a month ago

Just got a 4 after years with a BlackBerry and it's a very good device. I'll definitely wait

I have a S3 and am having problems with it. Either the battery has gone to sit or the charging port is faulty. Based on using different charging cords and ways to charge it, I'm leaninh towards bad port. Anyone else run into this issue?

I was having trouble charging my device but I went to the AT&T store and found it I just had a bad charger. Bought a new charger and now it works fine.

TouchWiz vs. Whatever is in the htc. Not a huge fan of it. I'll stick with samsung.

TouchWiz is unbearable. I'd much rather Sense. It's fast and not overbearing like TouchWiz

Look at this bullshite. So much unnecessary crap





Sense (you can get rid of whatever you don't want
