Apart from that the S3 has been solid and does everything I want it too and actually see no real reason to upgrade it. Originally thought I would switch to a Nexus but even with the nice new features of the Nexus and S5, there is nothing on them that really wows me. 2GB of memory would be nice though.

At the moment i am considering HTC or Sony, the devil will be ice skating to work before i buy Samsung again and if VM don't have ether of those phones when i upgrade it will be a move of supplier as well.

I highly recommend Three, especially if you get an all inclusive package usually. Not been able to fault their service since I switched from VM and you get the free upgrade to 4G data when they upgrade your area, which all the new phones would make good use of.

Only 2 lol. I love my Note 3 with its 3Gb RAM. Just got the Kit Kat update a couple of weeks ago too. Everything working great.

They don't always mess updates up.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S5

3GB is even better I did look at the Note 3 in the shop and it does look nice but it seems huge compared the S3. The actual screensize isn't much bigger but certainly looks much bigger.

The extremely long wait for the 4.3 update on the S3, as well as the fact they pushed out a bad update leaving some phones working really bad, upset a lot of people. On top of that they took over a month to send out a fix after they pulled the update.

Luckily I didn't update at the time so didn't affect me but the wait annoyed me. Now im on 4.3, happy to stay with it, so less worried about the updates at this point. You lose App Ops security on 4.4 onwards which I know some will not want to lose. Only thing on 4.4 that looks interesting is the NFC host card emulation.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S5 & New Gear watches

Honestly the Note isn't really all that big once you've used it for a few days. I certainly could never go back to anything smaller. iPhones seem like little toy phones after having the note for so long now. Totally dinky.
