Anyone get the Galaxy S4 yet?

[BlueSnake01]

I was playing with a co worker's S4. It feels COMPLETELY different in your hand than the S3, much more comfortable IMO.

Tried them both yesterday and the S4 felt more refined and better to hold on to. They are VERY similar next to each other and about the same height even though the S4 has a slightly bigger screen. Both felt great and upgrade my wife to an S3, she loved it.

Looks like they took more cues from the Note 2 which IMO is a great thing.

my contract is up for renewal and im looking to switch from my iphone 4s to something else. looking at the S4 as well. interested in the Note too. anyone know when the next Note is due out? i dont want to wait forever to upgrade to the next phone.

only part that sucks is im still grandfathered in with my unlimited data plan with iphone. if i switch phones they'll put me on a tiered plan. not that i use a ton of data though.

Being grandfathered with the unlimited data plan should have nothing to do with phone choice.

Ive had unlimited data since my first iphone and still have it with my SGS3. You shouldn't have an issue keeping it.

However, it may be wise to check your usage. With wifi becoming more and more prevalent, you might find you do not use more than half a gig or so of data from the towers.

iirc the next Note will probably be late fall release.

I was gonna get the s4 but there wasn't enough of a difference to pull me away from my s3. After having the s3 for a while do you guys notice the auto correct is effed up? It will show you the correct spelling but it won't change the word automatically. WTF? Does the s4 do this too? After googling it it seems like its a known issue since the last update on verizon. Anyone else notice this? Kind of a big deal imo!?

I've never had this issue. Then again, I never use the stock keyboard/correction.

I went in to have my Evo Shift replaced and found out I could upgrade. I went with the S4 and I'm loving it. I still have a ton to learn too.

LOL who runs a stock keyboard. Both Swype and swiftkey are better.

Thats the oddest thing, even with a downloaded app keyboard it does this.

Google and Samsung dropped a bomb today, they will team up and release a S4 running 100% stock Android this summer. Cost will be $649.

The biggest news is that Google is pushing the updates directly. They took the best of the Nexus line and addressed all of it's problems. Too bad about the price though

Those are actually great news for S4 owners. Its gonna open up doors for the modders. Sucks for CDMA owners like myself. I wouldve waited for this toy instead, oh well back to May 30th.

Superb news.

Stock vanilla android experience ftw.

Release date June 26 unlocked for T-Mo and ATT only, LTE support also. Big blow for the rest of the guys.

You guys are lucky! Still waiting on Verizon, May 30, FML!!

May 23rd Verizon changed the Date ( I work for them )

I would agree that the true android experience is always better...however with nova launcher on my note 2, it feels just as smooth as my old Galaxy Nexus.

question for Note owners. can you write notes on pictures you take? thats one that that really interests me. if i can take pictures of parts/orders and write notes on them.

I was caught between the two going from droid 3 and i just opted to go with the s3 because new technology has bugs and besides the camera whats the point?

Well you could put the picture into s note and add notes but you can t just scribble on pictures from the gallery I don't think.

What's the battery life like? Got a Droid razr maxx right now on verizon and have become very accustomed to the long last battery.

Yes and no.

I took a picture of my computer screen.

I go into options...

I click draw on image. It rotates the image and turns the screen write...

Later when viewing the image in the gallery, it shows the little tab in the upper right corner showing you that the image has a note. When you click that tab, it flips the image over showing you the note.

Now to straight up MS-Paint over a picture you took takes a different, non-factory app.
