Now that the Samsung Galazy S4 'Unpacked' event has come and gone.  When can we expect this phone to become available with Verizon Wireless?  This has always been the 'Real' event I've been interested in.

I'm eligible for an upgrade in 5 days, so I'm thinking of holding off until the Galaxy 4 is released (using a Fascinate today).  All I'm hearing so far is that it could be as soon as late April, so I'm guessing it won't be until May.

I heard on the NBC TODAY show that it will hit most carriers, Including VERIZON, around the last week in April.  Specifically i am pretty sure the date was April 24th!  i AM RIGHT THERE WITH YOU I HAVE BEEN ELIGIBLE SINCE OCTOBER 2012 - JUST BEEN WAITING TO SEE WHAT THE next big thing is.  SO WHAT'S ONE MORE MONTH.

I'd rather have a DNA - I suspect the S4 will have the same reception issues as the Samsung Galaxy and Samsung S3.

i liked the dna until i saw it has 11 gigs of formatted storage. that makes it completely useless to me. we haven't had reception issues with my wife's gsiii, but we live in phoenix, which has VERY good coverage.

Unfortunately the stats you just said, the Octacore is international only, we will get the Quadcore version, same as the S3, we have dual core international has a Quadcore S3.

The specs are great, but we can count on NOT seeing the 64GB version ever in the US on any carrier.  AT&T typically doesn't even go above 16GB and my expectation is Verizon will at least offer the 16GB and 32GB, perhaps not at launch but very shortly afterwards.  I am already looking for accessories to be ready but I won't take a 16GB version, 32GB or no deal.  Given the fact you cant put apps on the SD cards anymore (thanks Google) having at most 10-11GB of usable space is unacceptable.

If Verizon did offer the 64GB they would sell, just make them pre-order only, I mean they do carry the 16/32/64GB for Apple so why not Samsung.

I have read that the US version of the Galaxy 4 will likely be Quad Core instead of Octa-core.  Don't know how accurate this information is, But I read it from a pretty Reliable Source, I think the article was on Cnet........  Anyone else see mention of this Hardware Specification???

Yes....international version has an exynos eight core. We will get the quad core snapdragon chip set. Its 1.9 ghz so I wouldn't really worry about it. It will be absurdly fast.

The GN2 is a great device even at 720p display, its the lack of internal storage that kills it.  I had it for 2 months but just could not deal with the lack of storage.  Android devices need a minimum of 32GB regardless of microSD card slots.

We know that Verizon hasn't announced it, Verizon never announces anything with other carriers and likely won't until all of the other major US carriers have announced and/or launched theirs.  Why must Verizon be last, I am seriously considering porting my number to AT&T just so I can get the phones I want when I want and not be encumbered by carrier delays and locked down devices I paid for.
