I'm leaving my iphone 5 specifically because the screen is too small. I'm excited about the 5" S4.
One of the big things I ask for is a dedicated shutter button for the camera, say for instance using the volume button. Does the GS3 utilize that or are you stuck with the on-screen button?
I've read reviews saying you can use the volume rocker as the camera shutter for the s4.
I also expect you to exercise caution as there's a chance you might accidentally trim it to a size too small for it to quality as a MicroSIM. Made that mistake, had to call my carrier to send me a proper MicroSIM...
Wonder if the price will come down on launch?
Think it will be available to order on launch? Or will the sell out..

I'm starting to like Galaxy S4 design. It is a good improvement on Galaxy S III.
I like how thin the bezel is, makes the screen "pop". The home button is in the centre now, unlike on Galaxy S III and it also has a better shape.
I wonder why doesn't Samsung move their logo to the back, that way they could make the top and the bottom bezels narrower too.

My sentiments to the letter. The update in design actually has significant repercussions for the overall look of the device. The "chin" on the S3 with the off-center home button is horrible.
I didn't mind the design of the S3 TBH, although I do agree with you to some extent.
Some good reading here on the possible reasons behind the design of the S3.

I think its the other way around. The Samsung logo is there to fill the space made by the hardware inside the phone. The space is probably need for various antenna etc.
You definitely can trim a micro sim into a nano sim. I would not do it without a cutter, which usually comes with a nano-to-micro sim adapter (as well as perhaps micro-to-regular and/or nano-to-regular).

Excellent video. I mean, really, I've never seen a smartphone demonstration look like this before.
People can call these features gimmicks or innovation or anything in between. The point is, Samsung is making smartphones that can be interacted with like no other smartphone before.
That video clearly demonstrates that.
Are you veering more and more towards the S4 couch? Have you made your mind up yet or still undecided?
S4 is definitely the front runner unless the USA reviews reveal some cataclysmic issue. I really want to like the One and I still plan to give it some sort of shot, be it a handling at the store or preferably the developer's edition if it has a good and simple return policy should I not like it.
But I fear the developer's edition doesn't run on Tmo's LTE bands. I could always get the Tmo version, but I prefer unlocked.
Time will tell, I guess.
Samsung may announce soon more big screen smarphones/phablets:

looks like the GS4 could be my last Galaxy phone if they are going to make them even bigger. Im at the biggest i want now with the GS3 and the GS4 being overall the same size.
True, Sega can confirm it, and even sue as most of today's companies
Next product: "The SuperPhone FX II"
Anyone have any info on the usable space on the GS4? Like say I buy a 16GB, forgetting SD Cards - what would be my usable space?
Looks like AT&T caved in to all the backlash and lowered the price, plus they're bringing the 32gb Galaxy S4 this time around! $199/16gb $249/32gb
I'll pre-order a black 32gb next week.
