I've had the 5C since Christmas. It's my first iphone. It's fun to have and all but I'm not very impressed with it. Everybody at my school had one so I thought that I'd follow the pack and I wish I didn't. Are there any good reasons to switch to samsung? I heard the apps and music are free, is that true?
My son just took on a new job and the new company issued him a 5S iPhone. Fortunately for him, he was already using an older iPhone (3 years old and crippled bad). He commented to me last night that he was pleased that all of his notes, contact lists, and other apps he had paid for transferred over w/o any issues.
He is having a bit of trouble with the menus but that will resolve itself with practice.
At the moment, the new company's IT department is having to set it up with ultra secure VPN so that he can directly access their internal servers. That stuff is so tight, they will not allow anyone to know how to tunnel into their stuff.
he had wanted to switch to the S5 Galaxy because I already have one and could help him out a bit.... but, when it is provided for you, you go with the flow.
I am thinking from rereading your post that you will appreciate the larger and brighter screen on the S5. Also, you will have available to you a much larger assortment of apps to pick from.
I just made a couple of Mobile Check Deposits with my S5 and was pleased with how well it went "again".
You will read of problems folks have experienced. Some real, others user inflicted them upon themselves.
As far as the hardware goes, my S5 has never had a problem from Launch Day.
Did "I" have any problems with it?
Yes, but it was growing pains as I became familiar with the new menus. Even though I have owned a Galaxy S for 3 years, the S5 has a different way of accessing things we need.
The single one most liked feature?
The Settings menu has a "Search" capability. That is a tremendous thing for helping you find things.
click on the Search icon (magnifying glass) and enter 3 characters and you will usually see a list of things that most likely have what you want to access. click on one of those items and it goes directly to the Settings page you need.
I recommend you get one, and continue to read the forum here and ask questions galore. Lots of friendly fingers typing to help you out.
