Galaxy S5 rumours & thoughts
See link at the bottom.
A 2k display on a 5in screen just seems a bit excessive to be honest! If the rumours are true and is LCD over AMOLED then I don't think that'll be great in daylight either... Still it's on course for an April release which is when I got my S4 last year so it's a decent option. I''d also be impressed if it doesn't kill the battery in just a few hours of gaming.
Same goes for the 6 core 64bit processor. Although that does sound pretty cool and the idea of 'carrying' your desktop around in your pocket is pretty cool. I hope they give it a mini-HDMI / MHL out to plug straight into a display.
On a side note. I'd love for them to release the same spec as a Windows Phone and give the devs something to built towards! That OS needs more rapid development! Thats not to say Android won't for some of these features.

Moved mobile operators.
So I'm back with Vodafone. It's been a while. Not since my fault prone Nokia N95 8GB days (I sure do pick the troubled handsets)..
I must admit they have an amazing number porting system (linked below). I did have to give them a quick call to find out my new account number but that was trouble free. The IVR options need a bit of work but after a very short while I got through to someone who answered all my queries in one go!
I did previously like Tesco mobile (O2 network) but I couldn't see an offer to suit me for what I wanted at the time). Also O2 didn't do as well as the others in the 4G auctions in my opinion, so it'll be interesting to see how they do in the long run. Then again I think Vodafone want to re-contract everyone onto 4G contracts when their network goes live (with big early termination fee discounts for current customers in contracts).

Samsung Galaxy S 4 vs. Galaxy S III: what's changed?
Well apart from the camera and the processor not a lot has changed. No doubt the software will have seen a fair few enhancements also. Interesting that they have brought back an IR LED, I haven't seen those since the old Nokia days. Must be a lack of faith in NFC or something....
At first I thought the screen size might be off putting and cause headaches for the Galaxy note but it appears they've fitted this into an almost identical sized unit to the SIII. As it's not got wider, you shouldn't need to adapt if your used to Swiftkey / Swype which is a big plus.
