a new smartphone will soon be out. It is almost time for all the Apple fanboys to blast it with negative reviews and tell us why their I phone is so much better, even though the specs blow it away.

for the Android fanboys excited over a phone. It's time for Android fanboys to get all wet over specs when it's just a phone. 🙄

for the Blackberry fans to say how android phones are not secure, and how the new Z10 blows away every android device with its new "screen share" tech.

1.9ghz quad- core, 441ppi, heck, the IPhone still doesn't even have NFC, does it even have Wi-Fi Direct?

Damn, the IPhone sure does evolve slowly!

A couple of months ago I bought a 64GB card on Amazon for only $46.99, awesome price for a 64GB card!

I'm coming from the Samsung Droid Charge, so this is gonna be a really big upgrade for me, I still haven't gotten to experience dual or quad core processors, 2gigs of RAM, the newest version of Android, all kinds of stuff on the S4 will be a whole new experience for me.

Some people like to say the S4 isn't that much of a jump from the S3, likely if you have the S3 you are happy and have no desire to upgrade, but for someone like me

I wished a top-the-line Samsung device had the quality feel of HTC's One...
Samsung's software is far superior I have to recognize. Much of the functionality from the Note II will be present on the GS4, it will be a killer device for sure. (I've not used the S4, just the Note II)

About the big screen... I used to think that big screened devices were a bit awkward to use, but since I got my HTC Inspire 4g a couple of years ago and used it for long, I got used to big phones. A few days ago I played a little bit with the HTC One and actually I just found out that It was a lot more comfortable to use than my old Inspire 4g. Fortunately my hands are big.
The software on the One didn't convince me though. I liked better that one on the earlie...

Can you be specific about what isn't comfortable about holding the GS3?

So yesterday I drove from Derby to West Hartford and everywhere in between testing T-Mobile's network here in Connecticut, all along the Berlin Turnpike the signal is strong, where I live at the signal is strong, I even went to where I work at,
watched an 8m long YouTube vid in HQ, it played without buffering, but where I work at is a weak signal area, even for Verizon, signal constantly drifts in & out of 3G/4G, I thought T-Mobile's HSPA 21/42 is faster than Verizon's crappy EVDO, plus later this year, like Hartford and surrounding towns will have LTE,. . .I do have a little hesitation though, I am aware Verizon's network is larger. I'm all about data, data, data...

The Galaxy S III is a very comfortable device to use. I didn't like the feel of it because of the materials, slippery plastics (they say polycarbonate but doesn't feel much as the one X or recent Nokias) the battery cover is very "flimsy" as Eric describes it. I don't like the too oval-ish shape of the phone (It looks like someone cut a slice from a bar of soap).
The phone is thin and light, rests well in your hand and the software is great, as you said it has great reception capabilities. I guess that's an advantage of having an all plastic body.

Just to clarify, I didn't try to say that the S III is uncomfortable to use, just that it feels a bit cheap and fragile (it is fragile indeed). If you ever held an Iphone 5 or HTC one you just ...

That link doesn't show a thing...
However, I was also thinking about a case for the s4, it wouldn't add too much bulk to your pocket with a phone this thin.
have you considered getting an smart cover?

if you're talking about the Smart Cover I think you are I'm not going to pay $60 for that.

so are you shopping for a case for me lol or are you getting S4 too?

I'm hunting for a One or Butterfly (international version of the droid DNA)

I just love the feel of the One, so dense, smooth, perfectly curved. Beautiful.
The droid DNA feels tougher, and I like the old user interface on it (Sense 4+, Sense 5 is available) and smart actions. The weight's the same.. I like a lot the rubber-like feel of it's back, even if it looks a bit cheap it made me feel more confident of my grip even when the phone's shape is a bit odd.

It will all depend on their availability and my budget of course

About the smart cover:
Yeah, I think that $60 is a little to expensive ☚ī¸
I was just curious about it, but I don't think it's limited added functionality will justify the price

Even $50 is way, way too much. I wonder if people in numbers will actually pay that crazy price???

I I pre ordered a desktop charger that comes with a 2600 OEM battery that is Samsung branded, that costs $50!!!!! I wasn't happy about that price, but a spare battery and desktop charger is something I absolutely have to have, it doesn't come out til May 1, on Amazon.

Dude, that us so funny, you talk about your phone as if it's a hot seXy woman, lol!!!

Of course I do!
It's meant to have contact with one of the most sensitive parts of my anatomy (talking about my hands and fingertips đŸ¤Ŗ ) and kiss me each time I answer a call. It will know my secrets plus it will witness more than one of my compromising adventures with it's bigger eye.

I take it seriously and need my adventure partner to be sexy and badass.

Even though the S4 has a slighly larger screen, the overall dimensions are smaller. Maybe Samsung realizes not everybody wants a ginormous phone.
