Same here, although the rear camera looks terrible.
That's what lets most of the Samsungs down to be honest. If they spent some time figuring out how to make it look prettier, I'd be even more interested.
Not to take this thread off topic any further but as a few are looking elsewhere too, the new Moto-X looks fantastic but for me 5.2" screen is too big - http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/5/6108473/the-new-moto-x-could-be-the-best-android-phone-ever-made.
Going to wait and see what Apple have to offer (coming from 4S), but if another make can produce a very well built phone which isn't the size of your head, I'm interested.

I still think there's something fishy about the 5.5" one - part of me is convinced it's just people with the capability to produce clone parts scaling up the actual 4.7" phone and getting people's hopes up,
a) because the form factor of the 6 is pushing it as far as wasted space on the front goes and the 5.5" is even worse
b) we've seen tons of leaked parts and high res pics of the 4.7" but virtually nothing for the bigger one
We'll find out in 2 days, 5 hours and 10 minutes though.

Hang on, just thought- surely if the camera lens sticks out, they're going to break the spirit level feature of the compass app?! Hmmmmmm.
I think having the rounded edges and buttons on both sides has probably also made the spirit level redundant?

I think it being a £500+ device made using it as a spirit level redundant, at least in my house - one knock and *smash* - no thx jeff, will just use a reg. spirit level.
Whilst I agree in essence, many people will do the following...
Buy the new iPhone for (approximate costs used) £500 and then 12 months down the line sell it for £350-400. They will then see this as a cost of between £8.33 to £12.5 per month for that phone for the past 12 months, which isn't too bad. It all depends if 1) you can sell the iPhone for the right price and 2) have the money to buy outright.
Exactly - people say Apple stuff is too expensive but when it holds it's value it doesn't matter. The galaxy 4 is only getting around £200 on EBay when it originally cost £500+ new.
Yes it will be announced on Thursday for release most likely a couple of weeks later.
True. I wouldn't use it on a construction site. I did use my 5s to check if a shelf was level

and 3) have the ability to keep the phone in excellent condition
Yup - touch wood I've had pretty much every iPhone from the 3GS onwards and I've never smashed the screen or had anything more than a tiny bit of wear on the bezel. Speaking of the 3GS, I'm looking found to round edges again, I always liked how that one felt in the hand.
i am moving back to IOS even when i dont use macs or OSX anymore
even after all these years i still dont think android has caught up with quality of apps/games wise. ive gone back and forwards a few times now because of deluded users like yourself telling me ''androids better now''

The increasing interoperability with OSX sounds cool to me. I'm starting to get more envious of my wife answering messages from her laptop and IOS8 will allow you to answer voice calls from your OSX device too.
