yeah i really like s4, it's great to see a bigger screen in the same size. but, i love large screens and the s-pen functionality is awesome, haven't seen it anywhere else, that's why i've decided to wait for the note 3.

do agree about the note..thats why got the galaxy note 8.0...amazing device that I take on the go, to work everywhere..also got wifi everywhere via a sim card from EE network so i get 3GB of data to use wherever iam..best thing i've done.

Just got a Mega off craigslist for $100. It's a beauty. Bought a 200GB microSD card, slapped it in there and now I have my whole music collection and about 40GB left over for any movies or tv shows I want to put on. It's a tad laggy as is the case with older versions of touchwiz but it's still very use-able. I'll be giving my faithful nexus 5 to my girlfriend. I'd like to keep this Mega for as long as I can because the huge screen although only 720P is great for reading and watching movies/netflix etc plus 720p isn't as big of a drain on battery as a higher density screen. Plus I get the old goodies of being able to switch out a battery and the SXDC microSD standard can support up to 2TB cards lol so let's see how long I can stretch this phone out. I stretched out my Nexus 5 for quite some time and it could still be strong for another 4 years. I don't mind having no updates as that would just slow the phone down. New software isn't made for old hardware.

You should look into changing up the software a bit to get some more performance.

Thanks for the link! I was searching for a whole day on how to get cyanogenmod on this thing and it seems it's not possible especially once it's been updated to 4.4.2. I'll look into that link more because the battery life on this thing isn't all that great. I just ordered a battery off amazon so I can switch out when one is down.
