I just got one on a family plan, I don't see what the hype is all about. I don't think it's that great… I'm not yet used to the software. But I don't think it's nearly worth the price. It costs more than my laptop.
Added (1). I'm trying out the phone and its not much better than my old samsung phone, it's just newer or slightly different but it's not faster or that much better. The design isn't that great either.
