Got a black one arriving Friday. Woot. Will make a nice step up from my 4S, which I'll keep anyway.

I've ordered a black one from O2. My 1st smartphone thats not an iPhone.

16GB won't be enough for me though. Any recomendations on SD cards?

Thats a good price but I was thinking of maybe going all out for the 64GB card I've got about 30gb of music I'll be putting on the phone.

Is it available to buy or was it just a demonstration model?

Let us know on here what you think of it after a few days of playing and living with it. I want one, but my contract isn't renewable until August and will have to wait until after my afghan stint anyway.

Can't wait to sack off my iPhone 4, it does my head in!

Out of interest, for those ordering the Samsung, why are you favouring that over the HTC One? What does the Samsung have that makes it better (in your eyes) than the HTC device?

Partly familiarity with samsung products, I must of had 6-7 of them over the years.

The other part is I don't know anything about HTC.

It also appears that the Samsung has a better processor, camera, screen and graphics chip...making it a no brainer in my eyes...but I have made ill informed decisions before.

Lack of SD card slot, no removable battery, the fact that Nokia have just managed to screw HTC in the Dutch courts by having a ban placed on the microphone technology in the One, meaning that HTC now have to hunt around for alternative suppliers, the reports of blurring at the sides of the screen, and for me personally the problems with dust ingress on the screen that has plagued every HTC phone that I have bought.

It's a shame, because otherwise it's a lovely piece of kit.

Just had a play with a (real) s4 in our local 3store. Screen is amazing.
The phone feels light but not cheap. Impressive. However: maybe no sim free stock in 3 or phones4u till may :-(

Just been back to have another play with one. Was surprised to see a jaggedness to the numbers on the phone's keypad..
