I've only had the phone a few hours, so it's hard to determine my true opinion so far, but as of now I'm loving it. I ended up putting my apps in a similar fashion that they were in on my iPhone 5, so that part is familiar. But for the other stuff, I've got it figured out so far. Once I have a few days or about a month with it, I'll be able to get a better feel for the phone. Moving my contacts was easy with the Verizon app that backs up your contacts, so they switched fast. Music wasn't too bad, it was just a matter of moving my songs from iTunes to a folder on my desktop then to the phone, which took forever on my shitty old HP laptop. I'm having small issues with the Yahoo! mail app, but nothing major, I just don't think it's updating like it should.

I'm also getting a constant, "The wifi you're connected to is unstable" or something like that, but I'm not sure why. I've been sitting 4 feet away from my router and get 30mbs down/5mbs up. So go figure that one out. But overall I'm happy, especially going from a 4" screen to a 5.7" screen haha. It's a huge phone, but it's not unbearable.
all of your contacts will also now sync with google. Whenever you switch phones in the next 2 years or whatever, when you log into your new phone, all your contacts will already be loaded into the phone along with app history etc etc. Makes life easy to transition from phone to phone.
