My phone is stuck in the stone age – all it does is call people! The Sport sounds super cool. I love that it’s water resistant, and the health programs sound awesome!
My friend has a phone like that…it can’t even text. Crazy, huh?
What a great deal – even better is that is great MBPS!
I hear a LOT of great things about the Samsung Galaxy. I would love to check one out, but I still have a year left on my contract with my current provider.
I am really looking for a new phone, my contract is up in November. I have heard fantastic things about the Galaxy from friends of ours, thats first on my list to check out.
I’m so in love with my Samsung Galaxy S5 sport. It is such a sweet phone! I love all the features, plus it takes amazing photos!
Although I do love Sprints plans, they don’t have the best of service where I live yet. I do love the color of that phone!
Good gravy, we’ve still got the same trac phones we had a decade ago (me and hubby). We def. need to upgrade!
I have a Galaxy S5, and I freaking love it! That thing is like a hand held super computer. The S5 Sport sounds even better. It’s just building on the inherent awesomeness that is this line of phones.
This sounds like a really great phone! I have a new iPhone, but it doesn’t offer these fit options, as far as I know.
This sounds like a great phone. I love all the health related things you can do with it. Plus, I’ve read up on the S5, and it’s got some MAJOR power going on.
My son is begging me for a Galaxy S5 Sport. At this point, I know all the specs by heart.
my husband has the galaxy but not in sport and he loves it. I wish I had known about this one because this would have been perfect for him!
My nieces all have the Samsung Galaxy and really love their phones. I like the color options they offer!
Wow, that phone has a large screen area, is slim, and perfect for me! I love that the image is so vibrant too because I love taking pictures!
Wow, I love that phone! It looks like it’s really sturdy, I love the screen size, and I LOVE the colorful options available.
This Galaxy S5 Sport looks really great. I love all the apps for good health, and it’s a super powerful phone, as well.
I know these phones are great. I played with one at Best Buy but I just cant step away from my iPhone.
I am in LOVE with the turquoise color of that phone! I don’t know if I can get away from my iPhone, though!
I love the Galaxy! …and being fit! I live off the MapMyFitness app and love a tech device that is so much more than just a phone!
I have this phone too and just love everything about it! I got the red one 🙂
I only have a plain “old” cell phone that I use for emergency clls only. It would be nice to have something with all these bells and whistles
I would love a new phone and this one looks really nice.
My husband has this phone and loves it. The camera is so good that I often use it instead of my expensive one!
I love Samsung products. I haven’t seen this one yet but I will check it out when I am ready for an upgrade!
I’ve been seeing this phone discussed a lot lately and I’m in love with it. Especially the texture to make it easier to grip!
I love my Galaxy S5. There are so many features I haven’t even tried them all yet, I have to try out the Airview now after reading this post!
I love the look of this phone. The turqouise colour and the texture is so nice! I like the sports apps and I think I would use those features a lot,
Oh, i really like this one. I have been thinking of switching to Samsung, and this is another reason why – water resistant? love it!
Ahhh… We went to go get it and are waiting for the blue one to come back in stock 🙁 Ha! I can’t wait… super-excited… hopefully any day
This phone looks great! I’d love a Galaxy S5 Sport. I’ve heard they’re the most powerful phone on the market.
I love the styling of this phone. I also love how it integrates with the fitness apps. It’s super cool.
I was just looking at new phones online last night. I would love to get a new one. I am adding this to my list of contenders!
This sounds like an awesome phone. So funny that you can switch between an active lifestyle and being a couch potato instantly 😛
That phone looks awesome! I love the color.
That is a great deal and I love all the features that come with the Samsung Galaxy!
This is such a cool mom phone! I love all of the fun features and apps!
My husband has been eyeing this phone. I think in the future he will have one!
I have a Galaxy Note 2. I love it. I am an Android girl!
I have been hearing so many great things about this phone. I think I need to make the switch!
I really like the look of this phone, and the fact that it was designed for the very active user. I feel like I put my phone through the ringer, and it looks like it, too. I need this phone!
Wow, that looks like an awesome phone! I love how thin it is.
Oooooh! I love the pretty colors! I am still in love with my iPhone- but if I ever switch… I want the blue one!
My husband has this phone and he just loves it. I have to say it makes me want to convert from an iPhone…
I have the Samsung Galaxy 4 and love it. I was an iPhone fan for a few years but glad I got brave and switched. I think I might need to upgrade to the 5.
