allows the person taking the picture to be in the picture as well. Some people are ok with handing their phone/camera to a stranger and asking them to take a picture for them...some are not.

Ah sweet, I have prime aswell but it seems its $3 more then the others and has to be added on to a order of $25 or more since its an "add-on" item. -_-.

Thanks for the reply wanting this so I can swap between my iphone and s4 without needing a new sim. Will look into ordering one once my phone is ordered :D

I hate the way amazon did that "add on item" for cheaper products. Always makes me find a reason to spend more!

It's definitely still the better option.

If I hadn't got almost £400 for my Note 2 there's no way I'd be paying this money for it.

I get the impression that carphone are charging a bit of a premium though. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes for closer to £500 after release.

I personally can't wait for the day when a 16GB high-end smartphone costs £1000 it'll be awesome and it doesn't seem we're far off from that. :rolleyes: Greedy b*stards.

Yeah ok, i guess. But if no crooks around, then that pictur you have there i se no use to have the picture taker in it. Im just trying to get real use ideas of what you can do with it.

There are a lot of times with me it will be just myself and friends with no one else around. Like camping, climbing, back packing etc.

THAT SAID I wouldn't use it. I set a digital camera on something (not always possible) and hit the timer. Camera+ app has a count down timer too. I wouldn't want to be in a picture like that.

This is one of the few features of the S4 I feel is a pure gimmick. HOWEVER the technology isn't completely useless. With an app that utilized it, putting your face on someone else's body could be amusing.

In my eyes, The Samsung galaxy s4 have a better design than the galaxy s3, stylish than before. And it also comes with a better camera, new features like smart scroll and smart pause. Amazing device.
Anyway, hope the iPhone 5s can also bring us a lot of killing features. Wait for the iPhone 5s to see.

Anyone willing to pay £630 for the 16gb S4 must be ABSOLUTELY mental. Plus here in the UK it doesnt have the 8 Core chip either.

I was ALMOST considering the phone until I saw the price. £630 for a slab of Samsung plastic with loads of gimmicky features I'll probably turn off to help counter the battery rape from the screen? Not a chance!

Just buy one from the states.its not Samsung's fault some countries have 27% tax

In Greece this phone has either a 23 or 27 % tax on top of the msrp I'm lucky to live in a state with no sales tax and now I know why people buy 10-20 phones here and sell them on eBay.

I have no problem sending a few over for u guys lol

But thats not the RRP, thats the price those retailers have decided to sell it for.

Ive found it at the link below for £530 (£441 excluding VAT)

I can do with the s3 to tell the truth and I was waiting and hoping the price would drop when the s4 was released. Well seeing the price of the s4, I doubt the s3 is going to drop much. I just want the phone, no contract.

The device costs $249.99 for the 16GB model on AT&T. AT&T is seriously being greedy with this phone. I hope Apple doesn't subsequently allow them and stay at $199 entry price
