CNET: Verizon subscribers can now preorder Samsung's Galaxy S5 smartphone.
Available at Verizon's Web site, the S5 actually retails for $250 with the standard two-year agreement. But Verizon is sweetening the deal with a $50 mail-in rebate debit card. Verizon subscribers who don't want to be locked into a contract can instead pay the full $600 for the phone.
Powerful, with a fantastic camera and incredible battery life, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is a superb all-round smartphone

Some people mocked the original iPhone when it launched, and the Samsung Galaxy Note provoked much mirth for being too big, but both defied their critics with strong sales and spawned sequels that are still going strong. The phones we’re looking at here had a different fate. They may have pointed the way for the future of smartphones, but they failed to capitalize on it.
Lumia 1020 was definitely the biggest shocker of all. I still remember how I thought it would do great in the markets when it was first announced.
