Any good?

EE offered me an early upgrade to an S4. Was probably going to go back to an iPhone, but I'm impatient and quite tempted by this offer. Contract runs out in December.

Worth giving a try, I like mine but with any phone there are things that are annoying.

I like the freedom you have over apple

There is also an s4 with vanilla android. Although it won't be that one they give you, should be easy to stick it on and its always better being official than off a forum.

i like mine, freedom from itunes and easy of putting stuff on and off it so much better , down side is memory space, only get 16gb and left with 9 or so after os is on it, can get sd card and new update can move apps over to that but its not the full app,
i think if you root it you can do this though

Smart cover being half a phone case and half a cover? Got my S4 yesterday and when offered a case I said no as I didn't want to make a big phone even bigger. He then mentioned the half/half cases. Ideal.

HTC One looks good. Just wan't available for me as an early upgrade. I could've waited 4 months til my actual upgrade date, but figured an early upgrade was pretty good.

Be careful with the 'early upgrade'. If you are on an 18 month contract and they ugrade you 3 months early they just put 3 months onto the back end of your contract.

Thus giving you a 21 month contract.

Yeh, its really expensive apparently.....£45! http://www.expansys.com/samsung-s-view-cover-for-galaxy-s4-mini-black-250822/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=shopping&utm_campaign=base&ito=1701&mkwid=svHjLhmZB&kword=adwords_productfeed&gclid=COaUqIbvgbkCFdHMtAodwjAAGQ

Brilliant phone, have you seen it when you hover your finger over the text messages and it pops up? Lovely

Not for me. 24 months starts again now, meaning the last 4 from my old contract has been written off.

Ah mine's not rhe viewer case. Just a normal half/half. Protects the screen nicely though and isn't bulky.

Yeah loving the air features. Especially the autoscroll when your eyes get to the bottom of the page.

Is it not just an overpriced one of these (which is also overpriced)?
