    I switched from an iPhone and everything was super easy to learn. The customizations and widgets are awesome and make things a lot easier.

    The Galaxy 5S is a wonder in itself. I have had it a little over a month and am still learning the extra surprises it is capable of doing. I am used to the Andoid system, and chose the Galaxy 5S over the IPhone 5S that my husband has. It is fast and does everything I need a smartphone to do.

    The Samsung Galaxy S5 is far superior than any iPhone on the market. The Android is a flexible OS with tons of capabilities. I would recommend this cell phone hands down to anyone.

    I bought this phone for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it. We had a bit of trouble having the order go through. Best Buy acknowledged the glitch in ordering and fixed it.

    I have been scared of getting a smartphone for years. Now that I have taken the plunge I wonder why it took me so long. Has lots of apps installed that I will never use but overall happy with it.

    I went from an iPhone to the galaxy big difference. The graphics of the phone are great, and being able to take out the memory card to upgrade, or store more information is good.

    I love this phone all the hype in my case was backed up because I came over from iphone. My biggest fear for the last year was having to relearn how to use a smart phone. Ha i literally became possessed with this phone and spent 14 hours straight learning how to use it, and felt like i was in a prize fight, however after the cool down period you will fall in love with S5. One of my favorite features is being able to lock phone and pattern swipe it open. Love it!

    Not totally convinced

    I switched from an IPhone to this Galaxy because all my android friends talk about how much they love their android phones. So for my birthday I decided to take a walk on the android side and leave my IPhone 5 behind. Although I love the graphics on this phone a lot I don't think it is as user friendly as an IPhone. I also get complaints when I'm talking to someone on speaker phone that they can't hear me very well. I am giving it some time to adjust but this is my initial thought on this phone. I'm not sure if I like it better than IPhone yet or not.

    Purchase was a Survivor protective cover for my Samsung tablet. Looks to fit the device well, is easy to grip (less chance of dropping the tablet). Was easy to put on the tablet. The purchase for pickup from the store option was very convenient.

    This is a great phone that works pretty flawlessly. Bestbuy was pretty responsive to issues that they had and I would like to apppreciate their mobile manager at Nashua, NH
