Is it true that the S5 comes with 50 GB dropbox free?

Yes

When I joined Box, I got 50GB immediately

S4 and Note 3 as well, but it's only for one or two years.

I prefer Google Drive, as I use Gmail, Maps, etc.

They obviously realised that you are not a box.

My favourite and funniest review video of the Samsung Galaxy S5.

Smashing it to smithereens in the end was just plain pointless :erm: . I wonder if the ADH policy covered this damage and got him a replacement?

ADH covers water damage or screen replacement - they won't replace a totally destroyed phone.

I ordered A Ringke Fusion Clear case about 3 weeks before I got my S5... Very nice.

But .... day one of having my S5 (2 days before the case actually arrived), my phone slipped out my pocket while getting out my car beveling scratched to hell

Sorry to hear that man.

Where did you order the case from?

 

[bigicy]

Me neither.

Who reported the update and on what network?

I have tried using Kies 3 and I can't see the firmware update being available

As I've hinted at before let's see to what extent they will even cover this. Samsung aren't reknown exactly as a benemouth of ethical business pratice.

Well, they replaced components of my S4 when the wifi stopped working. And by components I mean everything except my cover and the battery.

 

[AstroTurf]

Pretty sure it will be done without an issue

When i got my S5, MTN stated they would also replace it in store without asking questions.

Btw.. What is a benemouth? Unless you meant behemoth.

One thing i hate about the S5, is the god forsaken charge point. ffs.

You can buy a wireless charging Sview cover or back plate.

I think so, induction charging. But wtf is this tiny little connection next to the main charge point?

It's USB3
If you buy a real usb3 cable you get faster charges and data transfers.

I'm saying I'm a doubter. But I'm willing to let time tell and perfectly willing to admit my doubts were misplaced if they honour their claims.
