So now that Verizon has the S4 I was thinking of getting one instead of waiting for the vaporware HTC One (though I prefer the One with the exception of the camera and a few other personal preferences). I've never had so much trouble buying a new phone as I have this go-round. I'm going to pay retail to keep my unlimited data and the $650 for the S4 is reasonable.
My problem now is, having not owned a Samsung before, all these posts about crappy Samsung radios which is causing me, once again, to take a step back and reconsider shelling out a goodly chunk of change for an S4 and continue to wait for a new HTC variant of the One to show up. Of all the things I was able to test in a side by side comparison of the One and S4 (AT&T versions) at Best Buy one long afternoon, the radios were not really something I could compare accurately inside the store.
I'm going to be keeping whatever I buy for at least 2 years and I have been trying to convince myself I could learn to love the S4 but if connectivity becomes an issue then that really is a deal breaker for me. (No I don't have a D-Link router, I'm talking about radio signal for both LTE and wifi in general).
I'm in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. So S4 users, convince me I'm not going to hate this phone because of failed connections or dropouts.
