I wish they would have cleaned up the menu a bit.

I find the rubber backs tend to feel a LOT better in the hand. Finally got rid of that slippery plastic.
+1 I hate the slippery phones. Can't use in one hand if its 4''

That would be good. I hope UAG comes up with a good case soon. I have to count that for the phone size. It has saved my phone a few times.

True, but why break what's not broke?

People do want new things. Sometimes as mundane as a new look.

It's just way too busy for my taste. The device itself is great. If they would fix up that menu I might have gotten an S3. Meanwhile after that they are just getting too big for my smaller hands.

I use my HTC One with wet hands and near water a lot. Never had an issue yet. I'd say most phones are water resistant now a days.

The Q is how water resistant is it? Any more details about what they mean exactly?

Galaxy S5 waterproof and dust-proof in alliance with military spec IP67, which means that it can take a bath for up to 30 minutes at about 3 feet down.

Sounds good to me! Good for those accidental swims some phones like to take.

At the rate these phones are coming out I don't think you can expect such things all the time.

Just out of curiosity what would you have liked to see?
