I still have a year left on my contract. I might get one next year, or I might skip buying a new phone next year and just buy the Apple Watch they announced, which comes out early 2015 and costs $350.

My only concern is wearing it (the watch) on the train here in NYC.

I like the way the phone looks, and it looks to be of high quality, but there are a few disappointments I have. No waterproof, no 4k screen, no 4k video, no quad core. But I'm sure it's fast and works flawlessly. I just feel like I'm seeing more innovative features in other phones. Apple seems to be playing catch up. The big hype in the Iphone 6 was the large screen and NFC, two things that have been on Android phones for years. I mean what happened to the innovative Apple that brought us the first Iphone? Nevertheless, the phone is beautiful, looks high quality and is probably fast and works flawlessly.

I really like the phone and I'm thinking about getting it or the Galaxy S5, but the Iphone seems to be lacking some of the features the Galaxy has. But the Iphone is a better build quality. It's a toss up. As for the Apple Watch, I think it's nice and I'd be interested in getting one. I think it looks nicer than Galaxy Gear. But yeah, you'd have to watch it on the train. I drive a car, so I don't have the same concerns.

I'll buy one when they give me removable batteries.

It would be nice to have a removable battery or an SD card slot. I don't know why Apple is so stubborn. It's a beautiful phone of high quality that works flawlessly and fast. But some things I feel like they either don't care what people want and just try to tell you what you need rather. Removable battery is not a deal breaker for me though. But I wish it would have been waterproof like the GS5.

It does look similar, but with some changes. But now even the Galaxy kinda looks like the last one. I do like the HTC ONE's look though. But I'm diggin' Apple's NFC and all of the merchants that will be on board with them.
