    Don't forget to test if it is waterproof by submerging it in the toilet

    Great deal Steve

    use the Motorola Migrate App to transfer all the stuff from your old phone https://www.motorola.com/us/motorola...a-migrate.html - If I recall it's installed on the phone

    Mrs D got the S6 standard a few weeks ago not the Ghia model. You get a lot of Samsung bloatware for your money Les it took me 5 minutes to find where to dial a number from

    Actually it's very nice but about 4 or 5 times my budget

    A top phone Steve. I like the stock Android keeps it all simple and doesn't clog the phone with unneccesary stuff.

    The only thing I couldn't get my head around was the email app seems very much like gmail with limited search/select all & delete type features.

    I mainly use 2 email address's a domain based one and gmail - this Mailwise app does the job fine with a combined inbox https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....syntomo.email

    I need a new one. The plastic bit inside the leather cover has broken so it doesn't hold the phone. Only had it a few months before that happened but I'd still buy another.

    Well already I have the s4 but the bloatware has been mainly removed by me so nothing Samsung pops up.
