I'd switch. It has all those things. You'll still have to get used to a new phone and software but I think most people would be happy with the switch.

Thanks. I'm going to look into it.

Terrible ?? Have yet to hear it's terrible. Decent maybe but not terrible.
Most people/reviews said they were pleasently surprised at the battery life.

Two people told me they have to charge it or change it during the day. Honestly, I haven't seem it. It's incredible how fat they've come with cell phone technology and still can't get a long lasting battery. I can't worry about charging the battery all the time, though the iphone 4s isn't too much better.

+1

I would have a hard time believing its terrible.

The battery in the phone is pretty big.

I have the iphone 4s for a while. I'm hearing a lot about the new galaxy. Is the recommendation to switch to the galaxy or stay with the iphone? Having a replaceable battery is great. Does the galaxy have notes like the iphone? Can you transfer notes and phone numbers from the iphone to the galaxy? Does it have a cloud backup like the iphone, or hopefully better?

Stick with Apple. Android is always like a step child to google, never exactly devoting many resources to it, and the hardware shows this neglect. While some people are enthused with the possibilities of Android, stick with the superior hardware of Apple. Plus they should be getting the iCloud issues ironed out with the release of iOS7.

just the small one on the bold. And shes played around with my z10 and other people's s3 before.
My first impressions are that I like it a lot. Its far from intuitive though and that leads to a big learning curve, especially now that I got used to the z10.

Sammy82 · « **Reply #173 on:** June 09, 2013, 09:08:47 PM »

is there a setting that I could change so that if I make a long call (or receive) the phone wont lock after two minutes (which is my setting for it usually)? Meaning as long as I am on the phone, it wont lock. thx

Is there a quality difference in MicroSD cards between brands? I've heard that SanDisk MicroSDs have a high failure rate. Which brands are more reliable?

And what is the lowest "deal" available for a 64GB MicroSD?

Just got the Galaxy S4 (on Sero premium) last night and I'm loving it!

I was coming from an older android which was slowish sometimes so I'm having fun

How does it compare to the Iphone and is it hard to get used to the different operating system?

When I opened the box there was a little paper explaining how Samsung has an app called smart switch. You can use it to sync your music, videos, texts, contacts, calendar etc from your iphone to your galaxy. Then, it automatically finds your apps (or recommendations for the equivalent) so you don't need to hunt through the android app store to find all your apps!

Most androids will download all your apps for you.
