I'm disappointed the S4 has an even larger screen, 4.8" is more than enough for a f@cking phone !

Software wise its great, but the little camera cover came off within a week. the amount of crap that made it into the camera module itself was unbelievable... literally couldnt take pics. Now its clean and the thing doesnt focus

Screen isnt as scratch resistant as they make out...

Everynow and again when i put the phone down (normal & gentle) it will act like the sd card had been removed then prepared again... losing playlists etc

It went through a phase where it would only charge of an in car charger

Still think its a good phone and still happy i upgraded from a 4S.... just my iphone was built like an old volvo compared  :grin:

Had mine since late July(ish) and not had any thing like that go wrong, I had a lock up problem but fixed that with fstrim. Most mobile companies give you a 2 year warranty with your phone, which is the good thing about getting one on contract as apposed to buying it out right and only getting a year (2 year if on credit card but also more hassle) - either way its less than a year old still, so go get it sorted out properly!

Hope so! as long as the revolution isn't a 3D screen, or built in projector.

Nah. Three is loads better now. Swapped last year from Vodafone.  Three has a far better/faster data transfer.

Jay you mention about the S4 having a bigger screen than the S3 which I also thought was completely unnecessary but if I'm correct I'm sure I read the actual dimensions on the handset were no larger and was in fact marginally thinner.

It's more to do with the screen size and thumb reach when using it one handed, which is sometimes hard on a 4.8" screen so if they keep making the screen larger with each new Galaxy S series it'll get harder to do so. I hope they stick with 5" and don't go larger on the S5 otherwise you might as well have a Note!
