No micro SD - no removable battery - No sale...I was holding off on dumping my Sony Z.
I left Apple for Samsung for the flexibility that the Galaxy phones gave me.
Now I will see what else is out there - Samsung lost sale,many lost sales from what I'm reading.
Bad move Samsung!

    NO SD card - NO removable Battery that kept me from Apple.
    Now Samsung has NO edge over the iPhone whatsoever.
    I'll go there instead.
    After 4 Galaxy's - BYE, BYE Samsung!

          Samsung have taken a step backwards with this model...

            Following Apple will pay off I think, for once ;)

            And perhaps after that, they could be a bit more grateful towards Apple.

                we have a saying "the strength of a man is measured by the number of his enemies" I can see the Samsung haters doing the same thing mostly ifans. The edge is a very elegant device I only wish they would have scarified the 16 mp camera with a simple 10 mp dual lenses and opt out the optical stab- to prevent it from being protruded it would have been the stylish device of all times.
                in my opinion what I like in apple lineup is the iPad its where apple can claim they brought the concept of a tablet and nothing else except the reversible lightning connector and the new ear phones that are very easy to wear and clean ;-/

                  Bunch of ugly phones. Plus, it looks like an iPhone. What a shame, Samsung.

                  Oh hey, I'm no iphone fan.

                        An open comment to Samsung - Do not neglect users whose primary focus for buying a phone is a MicroSD slot. One of the advantages the Galaxy phones had over most was you could buy one size and expand it how much you wanted. I have an S3 and would skip moving to this phone because I don't want to have to choose an unexpandable size. Expansion slots are one huge advantage you have over Apple. I couldn't care less about cloud storage, I don't use it and it is NOT a substitute in anyway for an SD card. Beat them, don't become them or you will lose customers to another brand!

                          Anonymous, 02 Mar 2015It wasn't us, it's mostly I-fan-boys who won't buy Shamesun... moreActually normal people were complaining mostly about technical part not being good enough - speaker, software, battery, audio through headphones etc. Sp what did Crapsung do? Instead of improving their phones and keeping their customers who either bought their phone because of the removable battery and sd slot or didn't do it because it was not good enough for the money, THEY DID THE OPPOSITE. They crippled it as much as possible, expecting more customers. Well good luck with that. Fashio-boys already have an iPhone and aren't planning on replacing it

                            Shamesung went totally insane believing another iphone clone would be more successful

                              One thing I haven't read anywhere yet, does it have 2 speakers or only the one on the bottom? It looks like a speaker at the top too. I want to see how that compares to the M9.

                                  samsung will never Stop copying ! i just saw the first pic an looked at bottom of the leftmost phone and thought ok they have put an iphone 6 for compasion sake !! then realised here it goes again, Copying iphones ! if indeed all smartphones are squared rectangles which is to generalize and say all round things are wheels etc, then why still so easy to realise its a iphone clone for us consumers and so so difficult for samsung to produce something original !

                                    How many people actually buy a phone like this and don't also buy a cover to protect it? Does it therefore really matter what the phone is made of (plastic vs metal), or whether the camera protrudes a little bit????
