I currently have an I phone 4, and am ready for an upgrade. I want a bigger screen than i have now. I am looking at something in the samsung line. The galaxy s2 note, s3 or the galaxy mega. Does anyone have them and how do you like them? Also any blue tooth users? I am a mechanic and considering a blue tooth setup also. Any imput would be appreciated.

We have couple Galaxy s4 we have had about 1 year. They never fail to link up with the sync in our 2013 Ford Excape. They work with the wirless adapter on my Nikon D7100. They have excellent screen and no problems with calls in this area. They have a 13 mp camera that is better than a lot of point and shoot cameras. The battery life is not as much as we were expecting.

I have a Note 2 that I have rooted and it is so perfect that I only turn on the PC to work on Photoshop.

I have a BT keyboard and mouse, have it programed to turn on/off BT when I turn on/off the keyboard.

It knows when I'm home and turns on/off lockscreen.

I have unlimited data and text for $30 a month.

During the past few years I have had in this order iphone 3gs, iPhone 4s, Samsung Galaxy S3, Note2 and now an iPhone 5s. I loved the Note 2 large screen great features, I tried the Note 3 and liked it better than the note 2. I went back to the iPhone and the 5s because in part its great camera, but mostly because we are an Apple "fan boy" family. I like the way it seemlessly works with the iPads, MacBook Pro and iMac.

If we didn't have all the Apple devices we have I would have stayed with the Note 2. No bad choices, just personal preference. Blue tooth worked well with the Samsung phones, never an issue.

Worth a mention is that when I moved to Samsung and the Android system my wife took one look and said NO not for me I'm sticking with the iPhone. Also the battery life on the Galaxy Note 2 was fantastic ( 2100 milliamps). Even after heavy use at 10 PM it still had 40% or more battery life.

Switched from an HTC 1X+ to my new Samsung S4. Didn't think a smart-phone could get smarter....but it did. Have a boatload of pp programs on here. Upgradeable memory once again....about the only thing I don't Luke...is it's a memory hog. My problem too, but w least my memory shuts down when not in use. Notso the S4. Have to manually shutdown every prog even after closing out of them. Other than that...one awesome phone!!

I have a Samsung Galaxy and it is the best I've owned to date. I use it with a Blue Tooth head set as well as the Blue Tooth in my car and have never had an issue with either. Battery life as mentioned is very good.
