I'm going with the Nexus 6 next month. I like what I've read about it.

Why would they take out the removable battery and micro sd card slots? Awful decision...

Those changes probably allowed them to ditch the cheap plastic design of the previous models in favor of the new all glass and metal design.

I haven't replaced a phone battery since I was using a Blackberry...ditto on using a MicroSD card...understand why people who use these features would be upset, but I'm happy with the tradeoff.

I've had to pull the battery on my phone a couple times to reboot it when it was acting slow and quirky. How does one reboot a phone without a removable battery if it's locked up?

Most devices have a button combination that will perform the hard boot these days...I know the S4 does (not sure what it is off the top of my head but I've used it a few times).

Hold the volume button and power button down for about 20 seconds. Phone will do a hard reset.

Call a phone technician.

So this is basically an iPhone now. Smart move. Calling it "Samsung Pay" is my favorite part.

Well, Apple has been stealing from Samsung for years so it is only fair.

I'm a Samsung guy, and an anti Apple guy. I dont like this at all.

With my S4 I would change the battery two or three times a day.

I've got an S4 right now. I usually have about 20-30% battery life left after moderate daily use.

I've swapped batteries several times and it has been a life saver. I also have an 8GB micro SD card in there since the first week I've had it, for photo and video storage. Definitely helps as I have the 16GB phone.

They get to that in Avaya IV certifications.

20012 was good year for Bull-Man.
