Do we know if this will ever be available on other networks besides AT&T in the US? Or is it always going to be exclusive? I'd love to replace my aging s5 on verizon with this, but...

Nice. Shame they don't sell this in Australia. I'd get it on contract when Apple drop the headphone jack...

Have been enjoying the content here at  LinusTech for some time now; very relevant to my interests.  

 

That said, I do not appreciate the American bashing; even if veiled as off-hand humor.  American car manufacturers offer hi-performance models that rival those of any other country at prices the average consumer can afford.

You're probably going to be the only one who is offended by this...Anyways, great review. It's much too bulky, however. However it is an excellent phone.
