Yeah the new Sammys are pretties...too bad they are still made by Samsung who seem to be intent on being the crApple of the android world. Although one video I watched said they've scaled back the bloatware and touchwiz isn't such a huge hog. If knox is still on there though it's pointless for me. Lack of removable battery is disappointing, but not surprising given the new design, however no micro sd is also a killer for me.

MicroSD is gone now? Damn. Battery isnt a big deal.

Battery isn't a huge deal but I did prefer it as right now it takes me 2 minutes to shut down, pull battery, and reboot if one dies. The fact that I can charge my current phone from dead to 100% in 1.5 hours or less does me zero good when the package cars have no ac outlets. Micro SD wouldn't be a huge deal if it wasn't so easy to get my data if I ever break my phone. What's this I broke my phone and it no longer turns on so hooking it to computer to pull things off won't work? Oh, ok let me get my data back *removes sd card.* I guess with the glass backing they didn't want to stick the sd card on the side like Sony does, or some other phones used to. Also the raised camera crap like Apple did. Just make the damn device thicker and use that extra space for a bigger battery!

Was excited with the s6 then saw they are eliminating expandable memory, that killed it for me. That's an Apple move, sticking me with what your just willing to offer. I really like Samsung stuff, but I got the lg g3 over the s5 because the s5 only came in 16gb. I like having my photos and videos go to a separate sd card so Samsung eliminating that is keeping me from wanting to go with them in my next upgrade.

Getting tired of my Note 3 periodically resetting itself and also lagging or freezing up and having to pop out the battery to reset. I do like having this big ass battery though (zero lemon). I went three days without charging it and still had 10% left

I used to have that problem with a windows smartphone a long time ago. It'd "white screen" and just stop responding. Thank goodness the battery was easy to get to.

 

I see lots of droids, lots of iphones at my clients, almost never see a windows phone.. and supposedly the reason Microsoft did windows 8, and server 2012 and their mobile os and tablet os the way they did was so that a user could "easily understand" and transition between them. Their phone market share isn't blackberry small, but its still tiny compared to the "Big two."

 

I bet if I had a droid and REALLY wanted to play with it I could get it to do some awesome stuff. But it's kind of like "the mechanic's car" or "the shoe shiner's shoes" analogy. I don't really want to tinker with my own stuff, I just want it to work.

They don't make one for my phone. I have battery packs but I take my phone with me every time I leave the package car and putting the phone and a battery in/out my pocket takes too much time. Now if I get a phone from one of the major makers then I'll be fine. Just none of them have phones that will entice me to drop $700+ on it.

Can't believe Samsung dropped expandable memory for the S6. What a joke. Hopefully they don't remove it from the next Galaxy Note, but they probably will.

Ya know the worst thing about buying parts is waiting on them to come in. I ordered parts on like.. 2/19 from GMPD and they still haven't shipped yet!

Exactly!

 

Pretty much as soon as my first round of parts came in today I ripped open the boxes like christmas day and cataloged it all out.

 

I got 3 more rounds of parts coming in, and apparently I have to buy something else cos the fogs I got off ebay aren't the right ones.
