The other phone I was thinking about was an S5, mostly because of the water resistance, removable battery and expandable memory. They're also pretty cheap right now with the S6 out now. What don't they like about the S5? Is is the touchwiz?

And the back is glossy too. Gets scratched easy. I don't understand why they didn't go with the same material they used on the back of the tablet.
This probably won't be a problem for me because I will drop it within the first month of owning it so it will be all smashed to **** in no time.

The new phone will be an upgrade from a vintage iphone 3gs
So really any phone from this decade will be a major improvement.

Both the wife and I have separate work iphones so this really only acts as our personal line. I'm interested in trying out something other than an iphone for a while. I don't want it to be too big. Decent camera would be nice. I don't think I actually need all that much space. So maybe I should just get an S6 and be done with it? Someone please just tell me what to do and put me out of my 3gs misery

I have done some reading online and this seems to be quite normal for Canada, so maybe see how the replacement goes before jumping ship? I think they are doing the "under promise and over deliver" thing.

If it happens again, ask for a shipping label.... They escalate the case and you get a label for Purolator next day service about two days later.

Once there is the slightest crack in the screen it stops working.....

Other than that I love the phone.

Holy cow. Only a couple of days with the Galaxy S5 and I'm missing the battery life of the Z3 (as expected). I'm at 53% right now and I've barely used it all day. The Sony would have been over 80% without a doubt. I may have made a terrible mistake.

True but if he's complaining about the S5's battery life, can't imagine what the reaction would be with an S6.
