What phone are you getting out of the new flagships?

Well, sadly my stay on Android was short lived, iOS just does a much better job for me (I'm aware other people won't agree 
). So I'm on a 5S until the iPhone 6 which better have a bigger screen!
I will say though I think the S5 is a bit of a sleeper, it's a lot nicer in the flesh, perhaps not nicer than the M8 though. I wonder which one will end up more popular on here, obviously the public will be sold the S5 by phone stores etc so no contest there.

None. I'm still completely happy with my N4. Everything on it is fine for my needs. A slightly bigger screen or better camera isn't something I'm bothered in. IMO phone manufacturers need to concentrate on sorting out battery life. I'd love a phone that I don't have to charge every night.
Having a few issues with my N4, so looking at the M8 or Z2. But contracts are so expensive atm, currently on a 3 sim only tariff at £16p/m but no way I can justify £500+ for one of these sim free. I would be 100% on the M8 but the camera puts me off slightly.
here are some samples

Just seen a friend's M8, wish I had waited instead of getting a Note 3 in November. It feels so much better made.

Now your saying hello to mega bezel.
Especially the bottom when the soft keys have a black background. It's like an inch of bezel.
i had a note 3 so doesn't feel big at all, actually feels small, i wanted smaller phone, for the times really when i wanted to reply quick to messages etc using one hand
the softkeys disappear for example watching video, using YouTube, and most apps etc ,
yes i agrees the bezel with htc aint great, maybe next version will not be there, there is no phone that's perfect is there
this phone would be perfect with no black bar at bottom , better camera maybe next time
positives , the front speakers are amazing, pleasure watching YouTube videos , build quality we all know, i have the gun metel grey it looks so good, battery life is great up there with the note 3, i have had Samsung since s2 through to note 3, wanted a change from touchwiz , and i have to say straight away sense is miles ahead

i could never use iOS, too restricted maybe some people don't care about that.
i can use my phone to download torrents to sd card, bluetooth files to other devices , no need to use itunes to do anything, simply connect drag files and any files
Have to say those are some very decent photos, hmm I held out on the M7 but have to say the M8 is tempting me more and more. Just a shame the contracts are so expensive and 24 months.

why?
please give us reasons?
He doesnt like the customisable screen on android, prefers to look at the app draw forever.
Just a guess like.
Higher quality apps, better iTunes back end, App Store works better abroad, FaceTime/iMessage integration is nice, etc.
I can go into more detail at a later date if you're interested, home screens aren't really a concern as you tend to go into apps more often than not.
I just want a bigger screen but not at the expense of (to me) inferior software.

If your happy with the size and the price is right - then a firm Yes!
I can't see why not!
You have a Note 3 right Kona? What's the rom scene like? I'll probably root and rom it straight away

My Mrs has mine now - left it unrooted for the warranty.
The ROM scene looks decent enough - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development
