I've got the first one. Waiting to upgrade until three hits. If it was farther out I would just get the two

Me too, love my Note 2 still and no desire to change to any of the phones coming out now.

I like where this discussion is going.
As I stated earlier I am using an HTC one currently - but I do have 2 upgrades sitting in the account as well - the Moto X is a great first product for Googlrola, but I don't think I'll be switching.

The HTC One MAX is on the way out and i'm guessing build quality will dictate which I will try between the NoteIII or MAX... historically I would say HTC, but its rumored that it has plastic for the front instead of the solid metal - not huge but something to take into consideration.

I had the LG OG and I really enjoyed it, it was a solid phone and for a little while I was sad that it was gone as the HTC one wasn't such a big upgrade except in the speaker department.

the G2 looks awesome but the volume rocker on the back is hard for me to overcome

I actually think the power button and volume rocker on the back is a pretty smart design.

Of course I have yet to use it but even on my smaller devices I have to shift the phone in my hand to push the power button or volume and that's when you start dropping shit, so having it on the back would allow me to simply use my index finger. Design wise it might not appeal to a lot of people but I don't think it's that bad.

I do, but it's not just me. You wouldn't see companies moving the position of the power buttons on phones if it wasn't beginning to become an issue with the increase in phone size. Sony putting it on the right side where your thumb is, LG putting it on the back so you can easily use your index finger, and I believe HTC has theirs on the top left(?) where your index finger rests when you are holding the phone, assuming you are right handed.

You don't like plastic... So the g2 or note? :confused face:

I like high build quality - Some Manufacturers can create high build quality with plastic but samsung does not usually fall into this category, IMO.

Other hardware and software factors may play into my decision, but since these are the known devices that are suppose to be release this year, I imagine these are going to be my choices if I want to try something other than the HTC ONE - which I am still very pleased with

I think the back power/volume button is interesting. Impossible to tell until you hold it, but isn't that always where your hand hits? Even with smaller phones, it's become hard to do everything with one hand. The bigger ones? I like different design thinking.

Bought a Note 2 yesterday. Thought it would be too big. Loving it so far.

I just got the S4 Tuesday. It is a major switch from the blackberry (duh) and taking some getting used to.

What are some things (apps, functions, etc) that you guys can't live without or love on the S4?
