[AnnMumsnet]

We've been asked by the team at Samsung to find 20 (v lucky) MNers to try out its latest handset - the Galaxy S4 Active and to add feedback on Mumsnet.

Samsung says "We think this new handset would be great for parents. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Active is specifically designed to handle all aspects of modern family life - including

~ the great outdoors - with a fully sealed design that provides great protection from dust and water - you can even use the device to shoot photos and video underwater, with your results optimised by the new Aqua Mode.

~ everyday family life - we'd love you to report back on how the handset withstands your general day to day life with a child we'll be asking testers to 'allow' it to be dropped on the floor, 'eaten' by your LOs, and even 'accidentally' dropped in the bath/ (clean) loo to demonstrate how well it copes with modern family life.

~ looks and functionality - the Galaxy S4 Active also shares the Galaxy S4s slick design and useful smart services, so you can enjoy the same great style and convenience"

Full tech spec here

This new handset will be supplied unlocked for use on any network (just insert your sim) - the costs of calls/ texts/ data must be borne by testers. The handset retails for c£400 .

If you're selected to take part you'll be asked to try out the handset (including some challenges!) and to add feedback at least twice on Mumsnet - we'll be looking for first impressions as well as some follow up feedback after a couple of weeks.

We'll also need you to add a review to the MN smartphones review pages
and on the Samsung pages

If you'd like to take part and can commit to adding feedback as above please add your details here

We'll be in touch with those selected asap

thanks and good luck

It's a well known fault - need to send it back to o2 to get it sorted :(

Looks good. Would love to try the underwater camera feature!

Fingers crossed.

Am I too late? Entered anyway!

Just added my details.
I have the galaxy s3 and am not overly impressed. Mine keeps freezing, but I know loads of people who are really happy with theirs.
want to try out the s4 before upgrade time so i can decide whether it's galaxy again or iphone

looks great and my teenage children would be very jealous of me if i got to trial it

I'm crossing fingers on this test. My ancient iPhone (the really old one) has all but given up the ghost and as we have a very active, outdoors lifestyle I think this phone sounds perfect!

My phone is 3 years old and dying - this would be great timing!

This would be a brave new world for me!

Oh wow. A phone which I might actually not be able to kill. I seem to go through them rather fast :-S
Have entered!

Have completed, love Samsung phones

I have no phone at all. My current one didn't survive family life. :(

Applied :)

Wow.
The phone sounds like amazing.
Would love to try to see if it lives up to its name!

Im in.

I think its a big old gimmick.

Have wanted one of these ever since seeing the ads for the photos you can take. and my current phone is almost dead, so fingers crossed.

Forgot to add
Dp galaxy note was accidentally dropped by ds and the screen cracked.
Still is.
Would love to see how thw active copes.
Sounds like the ultimate family friendly phone!

Done! I love Samsung phones! To my mind they are best phone available on the market(were,are and will be :)))))I loved My Samsung phones when they weren't smart phones and now like my Samsung galaxy Ace too. Unfortunately I can use so many apps as me and my 4.5 years son would like.Better camera and video would be so useful and to be honest this underwater video ?!!? That's something amazing!Would love to try! I also should add that I really envy those with big screen phones as it is more nicer to browse web :)
Hope we are lucky!

would love this! Have 2 very technology destructive kids

I've applied!

I am crossing my fingers for this one. I so need a new phone it caused tears today. DS is getting restless in his pram (17mo) and music from my phone is all that will let me get the dog out. He puts it in his mouth though and sound is muffled because speaker is thus kapput. also screen is cracked bug time. I dialled the wrong number today and couldn't hang up because the cracked screen occluded my pressing the end call button. That and the two hour battery life is doing my head in.

MNHQ when do we find out

Hope we hear soon < overly excited >

I hope we find out soon, I am very excited and hopeful.

I must be very sad as this would make my year...such a technology dinosaur and need to mod-up
