touchwiz

Plastic backing with dimples.

5.1 inch screen with an even bigger increase in the dimensions over the s4 (they need to leave the size of the S series alone and increase the Note if they want to increase size)

Buttons

I'll be waiting to see what the new HTC is like and if that sucks will be waiting for the next nexus

Its all personal preference and somewhat of a trade off.

I'd rather have the micro SD card slot and easy/ quick battery change that the plastic back construction on the Samsung phones allow. None of the aluminum phones offer that

With regards to the back, it is ugly i agree. But if you slap a case on it. You can't tell the back has those dam dimples. I saw one review where one guy was reviewing the phone and it had a thin red case on the back of the review model. And when you turned it over, it looked really nice. Couldn't even tell it had that ugly back on it. Of course i know some ppl may not like to slap a case on their phone.

I just found a site with decent Galaxy S5 Wallpapers. Not bad, same resolution as the S4 (1080x1920). Also 1080p so I aint even complaining.

So the company making the printed circuit board caught on fire. Hope this doesn't affect production. I need me a new phone.

Nope, I'll keep my iPhone.

On the flipside if I did buy the S5 I could buy these sweet new shorts to fit it in.

While this phone sucks, no, you shouldn't keep your iPhone, unless you are a 16-24 year old girl.

Anecdotes are neat.

I've been using Samsung phones since the S2. Never had a single issue with it. Android is an awesome mobile operating system. I'm computer literate.

Not much you can screw up if you're computer literate.

I've got my S4 in the front pocket of my slimmish fitting chinos right now. No issue for me. With a case.

Update

Looks like some best buy will have the phone on display early due to a close relationship with Samsung.

At&t will have the phone on preorder friday and t-mobile on moday. More to come from other carriers.
