Yes the phone has the multiwindow/split screen features that my Note 2 had. On another note the S4 did pretty well on Quadrant. I apologize for the huge pic

Just as I thought the battery life after one day is between the Note 2 and S3. Definetly much better battery life when I had my S3 with the Exynos quad core but the battery in the Note 2 is just too beastly

any deals out there where you can trade in your S3 for the S4 and pay the difference?

After about 2 days of using the S4 I am pretty amazed how they could fit a larger/higher res. screen, bigger battery, better camera, and a whole bunch of sensors into a phone that is smaller than the s3 and looks/feels way more high end. If any of you S3 users out there are on the fence about upgrading I say do it as it is a big upgrade and is totally worth it.

I just got it in the afternoon today. Impressed but I don't like the stock ROM. The S3 I had ran on a Nexus type ROM or at least an aftermarket one and I liked that one better.

I found that the Messaging app is slow to open up my Swiftkey keyboard compared to my S3

if you are asking for someone to root your phone, i suggest you rather not. just use it as is. if you can't (or afraid to) root your own phone then you probably won't benefit too much from a rooted phone. (flash roms/kernels)

This time white S4 looks better than Black.

in the past, Rogers-locked S3s will work with Fido sim cards without any problems. I don't think its a matter of the phone locking to the first sim you put in (like an iPhone does)

The stock firmware and bloatware is making the phone laggy and such. I was really hoping someone in real life can help me out and show me the steps to root a phone rather than reading it online and watching youtube videos and doing it yourself. Much more easier if I just provide a meal and a computer for someone to show me it in person imo

Are you able to save your Contacts onto your sim card?
If yes, do that. Then Place sim card into new phone
