    This is my first smartphone. It has been fun to learn more about using it. I would have liked to have an owner's manual included so that I could read more about it before starting to use it.

    Going from a Galaxy S3 to a Galaxy S4 was really easy. At first I thought the difference in size would be hard to adjust to but it really isn't. I like all the new features that the S3 didn't have and that I was able to transfer all my music, contacts, etc.

    I made the switch from being an iPhone user since the 3gs to the 5s, and where have I been! This Samsung is the best thing ever! The picture quality is superb, and the ability to customize the phone to your liking is the best. Having the icons on the iPhone in a static position was boring. One issue I had was if you were switching from the iPhone to this one was making my text messages work on the Samsung from having the iMessage on the iPhone. I love the swype too!

    The Samsung Galaxy S5 is a bit overwhelming in that it is my first "smart phone." I really did not need anything other than text and talking, so I am not particularly thrilled with all the bells and whistles. But, AT&T didn't offer much in the way of just text and voice.

    I had ordered a phone for my son thru another store. And to my dismay I had to go out on Christmas eve and find another phone. The one I had bought wouldn't charge. I was so pleased to get in and out quickly with a new phone from best buy Thanks
