While this phone has the same great quality as I expect from Samsung, I wish it had been more obvious in the description that it was larger than the slim, smaller versions that I am familiar with. I also find it quite frustrating that the blinking light that let me know I'd missed a text is no longer a feature. Finally, I prefer to simply place my phone on a charging pad -- that is no longer an option either. I am aware that my complaints are minor. I say again it is of great quality, and I dare say I will get used to it. I would still buy it again. I just need to research changes and features better next time.
Pretty much like my older version, just trying to get used to a couple of different things, but otherwise I like that I am familiar with this phone style.
Worst nightmare with this phone, have to send it back

When Turing on the phone after charge, the Ui takes a long tome and you get Ui error messages.
