> Samsung Galaxy S4 announced

Dups, funny enough, me and the Samsung employee had a bit of a laugh about that, talking about how the latest smartphones can just shatter with one drop, they just aren't built like they used to be anymore, gone are the days of the tough resistive displays and large bezels. I like how Samsung are dealing with this though, most other phone makers don't even have the resources to be considering such services.
Sorry to hear about the Galaxy S4 not working out for you, personally haven't had any signal issues with any of my Samsungs.

Yes, I am really running out of phones which saddens me. I am actually surprised that you say the Lumia experience you had is one of poor reception. I trust Nokia in the reception stakes, in fact, even in call quality I rate the best. The Lumia 920 my brother has has the best quality I have heard on a phone. I agree with you on Sony, the Ericsson technology serves them well in signal quality, I can't believe how my old P1 can hold on to a signal better than some of the newer phones.

You don't know how I tease the ladies about their cracked screens. I sometimes feel bad cause they love their phones. Only one of them has insurance but I don't know if it the one you mentoned. At this stage, only Samsung can stop the Samsung runaway train. Nokia killed itself while Sony Ericsson imploded so it is still possible for Samsung to screw up. If, one day, they manage to fix their signal issues I may give them a try again.

There's another phone that is a wonderful mobile device but not quite there as a phone.

Any good battery optimizers out there? I went for 'One Power Guard' but it is too eary to tell since I downloaded it yesterday.
As for the call bloking app I uninstalled it because it doesn't do precisely what it should. This is where my P1i served me with distinction. The apps irritate the hel out of me because the phone will vibrate once before blocking the call. The P1i blocked them without a sound or vibration.
Samsung are on the right track with their call rejection feature BUT it doesn't allow me to reject ALL numbers EXCEPT those in the phonebook. Unless I'm not seeing that option but I can see the feature being taken a step further and improved that way.

I don't use battery optimizers personally, I just through my phone into power save if I'm not sure if I'll be near a plug, I tried some battery optimizers when I had the X10 and found them useless.
Samsung Galaxy S4 helps drive 55% increase in handset display revenues in 2013 
From humble beginnings where 4-inch smartphones used to be considered too big for comfortable usage, the smartphone world has come a long way when it comes to display sizes. When it comes to display makers, the recent trend of larger displays will be a huge advantage this year, as their revenues are set to rise by 55 percent.
A DigiTimes report touts the Galaxy S4 as one of the handsets that are part of the reason for the increased revenues, along with Apple’s iPhone 5. The S4′s display went up 0.2-inches from the S3′s and also saw a veritable increase in display resolution – coupled with the average selling price of an AMOLED screen rising from $48.36 in 2012 to $49.37 in 2013, it’s something that is proving profitable for display makers. By the end of the year, AMOLED screens will have taken 37 percent of the total market, and the Galaxy Note III will no doubt contribute to that share.

Samsung’s Q3 smartphone sales outlook looking good
Back in Q2, there were several analysts that predicted grim future for Samsung’s mobile division, with many worried that the Korean giant’s Galaxy S4 smartphone will suffer poor sales in Q3 2013.
The latest prognosis for Q3 however has Samsung Securities predicting some 80 million smartphone sales in Q3 2013.
This is a really positive estimate coming from Samsung’s camp – and it’s obviously quite doable, considering that many of the expected high-end smartphone and tablet announcements for September likely won’t go on sale until the second half of the month, and won’t affect the Q3 sales figures.
We’ll have to wait until official publication to see if Samsung is indeed still holding firm, but if last quarter’s figures are anything to go by (when the S4 became the best-selling Galaxy phone), then things are looking up for Samsung.

Can't wait for the Note 3 to arrive and keep this great momentum going for ol' Sammy

Samsung never lost its mojo at all as Q3 smartphone sales were hot
It seems like it was light years ago when Samsung's shares started falling amid questions about possibly declining sales of the Samsung Galaxy S4. Korean brokerage firms were cutting their estimates of the number of units of the flagship model that they expected would be shipped by Samsung. U.S. brokerage house Merrill Lynch had cut its estimates of Samsung Galaxy S4 shipments for the year by 5 million to 65 million units. But the head of Samsung Mobile, J.K. Shin, said back then that "S4 sales are solid. It's just that some analysts had higher expectations and then they lowered them." Now as we enter the last month of the third quarter, it seems that Shin might have been right after all when he said that Samsung Galaxy S4 sales were solid.
Samsung Securities, which is a full service investment house, predicts that despite "Galaxy S4′s sluggish initial sales", the manufacturer is expected to sell over 80 million smartphones during the third quarter that ends this month. During the second quarter, the Korean OEM sold 71 million smartphones of which 22 million were the Samsung Galaxy S4. Clearly, the worries about Samsung and its flagship model were over done. The fears that Samsung would ship 7 million Galaxy S4 units monthly instead of the 10 million originally expected, now appears to be paranoia on the part of analysts.
And with the Samsung Galaxy Note III expected to be introduced on Wednesday, the positive sales trend should continue during the fourth quarter. It looks like Samsung never lost its mojo at all.

so am I right in saying that's now around 45million Galaxy S4s sold so far???
