How long will AT&T Be Exclusive?
This phone meets my needs, but I don't want to sign up to a contract with AT&T. Does anyone know how long it will be until I can buy one on the open market in the US?

Galaxy S4 vs. HTC One: which is the best Android phone in the world?

Galaxy S4 Active did not pass water test
after using it in about 10 inches of water for one to 2 minutes the phone let the water in, despite all advised precautions.
the customer service is playing goofs asking us "who ever told us we could use Galaxy S4 Active underwater"?
The worst thing is that Samsung customer service did not care at all to replace the phone. Tech support requested the phone to be send to repair services, but why, if it was faulty from the day one?
Can anyone to advise how one can fight with this situation?
thank you in advance.

Impressive Phone
Well, I broke down & upgraded from my GS3.
So far, so good. Very well built, rugged design.
The LCD screen seems to have more truer colors than Amoled screen + they had to use this screen for waterproofing. Am still getting use to the Menu, Home & Return buttons. Great features, very fast with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600+ pro processor & the Adreno 320 GPU & 2 gigs of dual channel ram. Its actually an improved version of the original GS4. MDM9215, with Gobi embedded modem, will be b much faster on the new version of LTE. The batt life seems great 12hrs., normal usage, calls, texting, internet, etc. Pics & video are fine (lens quality more important than pixels anyway). Sound very good, emails come thru quicker than on my GS3 or Monika's ...

Water PROOF ?
I hate the term Waterproof. It implies that in no situation or circumstance, can water ever penetrate the device.
More like water resistant, which is what it should be called. Unless the phone can be used at challenger depth without leaking, it is not waterproof.
Pretty much nothing advertised as being waterproof is actually waterproof.

WOW, that's all I have to say about that comment.

I've never seen anyone call something simply 'waterproof' without any qualification, it is always 'waterproof up to so many feet'......
I guess water proof and pressure proof are the same thing nowadays. You kids are wacky!

Water/resistant to 1 meter for 30 seconds.
