vzw will do like they did with the s4 and wait until they reach their target of 16gb devices sold before relasing the 32gb. they know from experience the large majority of their customer base won't spend extra for the 32gb on release day. the few people begging for the 32gb didn't change the...

two months in and not one regret. all the things that bothered me on the gnex don't exist on the gs4. rooted stock rom running nova launcher and it's perfect for me.

it's disappointing to see verizon and samsung muck up what had been a good first few months for the s4. some people might never notice, but this seems to be a dubious "update" for those of us that knew the potential prior to this patch being pushed out. oh well, hopefully the dev community...

the way my non-updated rooted on stock rom s4 works now, i'd be perfectly fine never accepting an update. it's fast, gets great battery life, great data/voice/gps/wifi signals. nothing is broke for me so there's nothing to update. only way i'll take any changes at this point is from the dev...

my device is working perfectly. rooted stock rom, great battery life, very happy. nothing has been mentioned about this update that compels me in the very least to update. even if it didn't break root i'd probably still sit this out. i'm afraid it will steal my s4 mojo. being on a rooted...

they baked in a "gotcha" with this update. i learned early on not to accept or install carrier patches once you're rooted. always wait for updates to be baked into roms or a safe patch provided from the devs. that said, i'm sure he community will have a work around. time and persistence is...

$299... ouch. $150 premium over the 16gb version once you take the rebate into account. verizon might not sell many of these at that price, not to mention full retail. perhaps the price will drop in a few months though. at least the 32gb guys now have their cake, eat it! lol. no excuse to...

plastic screens lack clarity and would be an injustice to hd displays. plus plastic scratches so easily it would be a swirl magnet on a touch screen. yes plastic is shatter proof, but it would make the hd display like an s4 look ugly as sin. glass screens are getting more scratch resistant...

one of my biggest pet peeves are people who try to show me things on their phones with cracked or shattered screens. yeah the phone still works, but it's janky. another pet peeve is people who complain about glass breaking, but don't do anything to protect it. it's glass!

i'm thinking price of s4 will drop or rebate offered that makes it less than the new release iphone model. not sure if rebates are offered on the iphone.

the new iphone will compete directly with the s4. having a comparable version of the new 32gb iphone to the 32gb s4 would be in verizon's best interest. the 32gb s4 would also probably undercut the new iphone in cost.

maybe xx% of 32gb sales were to people who didn't need 32gb and would have preferred the savings of a lower cost model in hindsight. when/if they release the 32gb s4 it will be strategic for the purpose of capitalizing on greater smartphone demand generated by some other factor. like the...

because that probably wouldn't be accurate. a more accurate statement would be "Due to expiring exclusivity agreement with ATT and support of our long time partner Samsung and their efforts to dull the announcement of the next iphone, Verizon will be offering a 32GB model of the S4 at the end...

i understand the op's concern. the main issue being when there is no connection to the internet you cannot get directions. even if you cache a map offline the navigation still won't provide you directions, you can only browse the map area and see where you currently are on that cached map...

i don't use google music. sounds like it's pretty limited in flexibility. at least we've moved past assumptions and it should be clearer how people survive with the 16gb version outside of rooting. although my s4 is rooted for other purposes. most people just don't need the extra internal...
