Banda, 14 Apr 2014I am happy with my 1 year 8 month old Nokia 701, with Frequ... moreIt would be nice if you got things into perspective.

EVERYBODY EVERYBODY has a hang up with Samsung using plastic as a shell

The shell forms such an insignificant part of the total phone make up, you would think that it were "brain" and not say body hair.

SAMSUNG USES GORILLA GLASS AS WELL(skip it) Multicore processor (skip it), you get the the picture

I have a Nokia E6 Silver so METAL (it has alway had a S-line wave cover on it, but it has been scratched and on metal,is SO noticeable

Any Galaxy S over a Nokia 701,is the better phone!

There is NO need to have the latest Galaxy S
I have the S2,on contract.
BOTH The S3 or S4 came out whilst I was still in contract and all the offer is FASTER processor better camera etc, and yes cost more

As far as the Galaxy S range goes, there is NO need for me to upgrade pay more for a better product, when all that product is / are not required

The serious upgrade for me was the S2 Dual Core

A metal phone will MARK visibly if you do not protect it

Metal only feels premium due to it conducting heat better

Why Samsung gets my vote is MICROSD expansion & removable battery,
HTC are learning the lesson as now the have MICROSD expansion , put a removable battery in and HTC WILL take customers away from Samsung

So as long as Samsung amkes better phones then I have no issue with the small amount of P L A S T I C it uses, the Galaxy S range are NOT TOYS

My E6 MetaL is NOTICIBLY SCRATCHED

Yes I would be better off with a S5 who wouldn't but there are some whose first experiance maybe an S4...
Two years down the line an S7 may not even do it for them.

The MORE expensive the phone the better some take care of it and an upgrade is "not required" as the phone works fine even after 2 years.

Once you go Galaxy S you can't go back

Anybody who has a metal phone uncovered WILL be using a scratched "premium feel2 phone within a matter of weeks

Sh... moreits up to you my friend,maybe they will release the blue after 2-3 weeks like in S4,S4 first release only white frost and black mist and after 2-3 weeks the arctic blue and black edition.but i compared the blue and black S5 id rather choose black,it is awesome in the hand unlike in the picture,plus add flip case or any case for the protection it was great for black,but the blue i really dont know if it was good or bad color.

                    Tcool, 14 Apr 2014I will really go for S5 with Snapdragon 801 tonight. But... moreit actually depends on your taste,because only 2 available in the market,only Europe or Vodafone has a limited edition of copper gold and maybe AT&T and the rest of the world has 2 colors which is shimmery white and charcoal black,i dont know if the blue is available but upon posting this there is no available in blue color,always pre-order for the blue one,the only available in the market today are charcoal black and shimmery white,if you ask me which color is awesome i think for me charcoal black because my purpose is for the LED notification and home button,back button,you can see it even in direct sun light/dim light.but if you are female go for shimmery white because i think they like it white.

                          I am happy with my 1 year 8 month old Nokia 701, with Frequent Heat up and then Battery Hang up. I bought it for INR 17,750 with another INR 750 for a 16GB microSD Card. Frequent Hangs in the phone makes me annoying, but there is no other go. Wanted to purchase Samsung Mobile instead.
                          See the Prices in here:
                          Samsung Galaxy S INR 15,550 2010 April
                          Samsung Galaxy S2 INR 24,750 2011 April
                          Samsung Galaxy S3 INR 33,359 2012 April
                          Samsung Galazy S4 INR 41,390 2013 April
                          Samsung Galaxy S5 INR 51,500 2014 April
                          In the Same Lines
                          Samsung Galazy S6 may cost 68,550 in 2015 April.
                          Just waiting and watching this go.
                          All the above phones are all plastic.
                          Why to Waste Hard Earned money for the plastic.
                          Samsung, At least try to make a phone with Stainless Steel Body, with all necessary features for an amount of INR 50,500. I will surely buy it. But now.. No Chance..
