Who else will be ditching their S5 for the iPhone 6 ?????

[joe watson1]

I wont, i just recently switched from iPhone 5 to the S5, I've had iPhones since the 3GS, 4, 5. I just had grown tired of it, it was boring, and all the new iPhone 6 will be is "Boring" with a bigger screen.

I hear you. I'm considering going android myself. Been with Apple since day one and I'm getting really bored. Just waiting to see what everyone releases in the next month or so. Then I'll make my choice.

All I need to know is how to add me Yahoo e-mail account to me S5 on at&t. I do not want to go to a store for obvious reasons. I heard I have to download Benstar app "my mail" Can someone give me dat address, I am old and get frustrated easily with detailed instructions lol

No because 4.7" is still tiny. The software will still be boring and monotonous and oh yeah No Root.

I won't be ditching any phone for an iPhone.. I've tried them and simply prefer Android more .

I couldn't imagine going to an iPhone again. I like my iPad but that's about it. I don't like the phone. There always the same plus I like OS better for android

No. I may consider an iPhone again down the road - especially if they do introduce a 5.5" model - but I won't be switching from the S5. I went from an iPhone 4 to GS5 and don't miss anything about my iPhone. Plus, now that I've gotten used to having the ability to use widgets and customize things to my liking it would be hard to go back.

Never! I will never go back to iphone. Too restrictive.

 

[shanghaichica]

I doubt it. A bigger screen won't be enough to tempt me to go back to the iPhone.

I recently switched from iPhone 4s to the Galaxy S5. At no point was I ever unhappy with my iPhone. I loved it. But I saw that Samsung was doing great things in terms of multitasking, larger screens, and superior cameras in comparison to the iPhone. I felt like Apple was stuck in the mud and that the various versions of the iPhone 5 just didn't really excite me. It was the same stuff in a slightly different wrapper.

I absolutely LOVE this phone. It's not perfect, but it's pretty damn close. Having never owned an Android phone before, I could only go on what I heard and the 1 constant draw back I kept hearing was that because the Android environment is more "open" than Apple's, the phones themselves can be a little glitchy from time to time. I'm only about 3 mo into life with my Galaxy and I definitely know what they were talking about. The phone does get glitchy on occasion. But the selling points to the phone that brought me to it in the first place still far outweigh the glitch factor, so I have no regrets at all.

That said, if the latest and greatest iPhone that's on the market in 15 months when I can upgrade again has caught up to Samsung (multi-window, bigger screen, high resolution camera, etc), then I very well could be switching back. Time will tell.

I'll be switching. I too love both platforms as I left the 5S for the S5 and now I'm going back. What I'll miss most is the IR Blaster. I know that sounds like a gimmick to most, but for someone in poor health who watches TV as much as I do, it's incredibly handy.

Have you tried or used the WatchOn app? I use my S5 as a remote with my Vizio tv and while on a trip over the last 2 weeks I was using it with a Sony tv in my hotel room, works flawlessly.

im on the fence, ive owned a iphone and its too simple and locked down.

I am always open to options. If indeed apple release a 5.5 inch I may consider it but I would not go anything below a 5 inch. But I have an iPad mini with retina display so I don't think i need another apple device. I really like my S5.

No way. I always want a phone with a removable battery. iPhones will never have this. I also like having the expansion capabilities of a mini-SD card - Apple will never offer this because they charge a fortune for the upgraded memory models. And, I love the Swype-type ability on my S5. And the .com and numbers are included on the main keyboard. This saves so much time when texting or emailing! and the voice recognition for texting is nearly perfect! Not so on the iPhone. Lastly, the screen sizes are about 3 years behind almost all the Android phones on the market today. Why they waited so long is anybody's guess. Now they are coming out with a 4.7 (too small) and a 5.5 (too big) - why not a simple 5" or even 5.1"? I guess since 80 million are being produced, and they will all be bought, they can force the sizes THEY WANT on consumers. And, the 5.5" will full-retail for close to $ 800, for 32gb, I'm sure. Deep pockets will be needed....That's Apple.

I liked the S5 fine but I just like my Note 3 so much more. I sold my S5 on Friday and plan to give either the G3, Note 4, or iPhone 6 a shot...in addition to the Note 3 (I cannot part with this wonderful device anytime soon). I really did appreciate the S5's water-proofness but I can live without that feature. The camera was nice to but the Note 3 ' will do just fine until I get its companion.

Can I ask a question? I'm a complete newbie tithe Android world. What's the different between the Note 3 and S5 other than the obvious size and the fact one has a pen. Aren't both Samsung running Touchwiz?

 

[DudeThatsErin]

How can you "switch" from Samsung Galaxy s5 without incurring large carrier charges and losing the cash paid up front for it?

Frankly, I'd consider switching from s5 to Amazon Fire Phone if I could ti at no cost.

I use ATT. Would ATT make such a deal?

AT&T has the Next plan where you can trade in your device after 2 months to cancel out future payments for that device and start a new Next agreement. It is just like T-Mobile's JUMP! program except it doesn't come with any other the extra bells and whistles like insurance and other stuff.

I'd call their care department to see if you are eligible.

--------------------
I have the LG G3 and I'm not really satisfied with it. I'm going to try and wait to get it until December if I do decide to switch. I want to see what it looks like by messing with my friend's phones when they get it. Easier than playing with the store models.

I had the iPhone 5 and what kept me from using it was the screen size (mostly) so since they are making one with an equal screen size to my G3 (it's hard to go smaller once you have gone bigger lol) it should be a pleasant surprise to see the next gen. iPhone.
I love my customizability but at this point I'm willing to toss that for a phone that doesn't overheat and just WORKS like it is supposed to.

The S5 is indeed H20 and dust proof. The Note 3 is indeed bigger and has the pen (which, admittingly, I barely use). I guess it's just the 3's size I prefer.

iOS is still too locked down, and lacking in customizability, for me. Even if you jailbreak it, you don't have near the flexibility to make the phone "yours" that Android provides.

But once you have an android device then you can get an iOS device and enjoy the goodness of both. One must admit that iOS still has the more refined apps but, yes, android is catching up.
