Just pointing this out its not an S4 but an S3 (NO 4G) On Orange / EE , 600 mins / unlimited texts / 250mb . Cost £0 upfront /£11.99 a month (24 months) bought it for my Mum for Xmas.
Not saying this deal is for you but suited my gift needs.

sold my iphone 5 and jumped over to android with the s4, took a bit of getting used too being so used to ios but few weeks with it and im sold, so much easier to transfer stuff to and from the phone, music, pics, files etc, the ability to again customise your phone the way you want again is also a big sell for me, had no faults with mine at all

Don't Samsungs come with all the shitty bloatware or is that just the older ones?

I think they're pretty shit. Out the box it comes with a tonne of crap installed so you have to install the Google Play Edition ROM to make it acceptable. It's got to have the worst camera on it I've ever had the misfortune to use. The speaker is crap. It proves that OLED screens aren't quite there yet with the amount of ghosting you get when scrolling (black text on a white background is the worst). They're also slightly too big for one handed use.

4.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272
4.4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544474
I've not got round to installing 4.4 yet so can't comment on the ROM, but the 4.3 one seems quite reliable.

I have just made the jump from HTC One X (Last 4 phones have been HTC) to a S3, S3 is miles better. IMO HTC build/device quality is rubbish, although I do prefer their interface a little over the Samsung interface.

If you think HTC build is shit then your going to be dissapointed in the S4
