NOW CLOSED Try out the NEW Samsung Galaxy S4 Active smartphone (unlocked) and add feedback

[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

I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm still smarting over the day on a cruise ship which I was absolutely perfect for!

[bludgerwitch]

I know, me too - my old phone is dying, it'd be so easy to replace it with just the new version but I don't really want to do that, I want to try something new!

And I could do with a rugged phone, too much playing on beaches in bad weather for delicate technology to fare well!!!

[glastohead]

Another awesome trial from mumsnet.

Looking forward to reading feedback (and hopefully battle testing phone with my tiny tearaways!!)

[sharond101]

[isitme1]

[DoItTooJulia]

Good luck to everyone else!

[ThePortlyPinUp]

No email here so I'm not one of the lucky ones, good luck for everyone else though :)

[MoogDroog]

I'm in! I'm so excited! I'm dancing and pogoing around te house singing a silly song!

Thanks MNHQ and Samsung!

My ancient iPhone is on its last legs, with no prospect of getting another.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[Georgethesmartestgiant]

No email for me so guessing I'm out, good luck to everyone else, looking forward to reading the reviews

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

No nothing here. Oh well. Well done everyone that got through.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

:(
I was going to do outdoor storm photos on it and post them up.

[SilveryMoon]

Nothing here either.
Look forward to reading the reviews

[ScoutJemAndBoooooooooooo]

Sadly nothing here either, I would have had such fun with it too

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

OYBBK you certainly bloody deserved one after the last few days. For services to weather updates and safety of MNetters you should have got a flippin' phone!

[vincenta]

Oh no. no email for me...
For those who are more lucky than me: Have a lot of fun testing your new phone!!! :)

[Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

Me neither :( I look forward to reading the feed back ready for my upgrade.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

:) Gwendoline.

[SinisterMatic]

Well done lucky ones!

[DharmaBumpkin]

I am in... So happy and grateful, my old phone died at 11am!! Really pleased that I don't have to worry about replacing it on contract. Thanks Samsung and Mumsnet!

[darksparrow]

Lots of screams of joy in this house too!!

[ScoutJemAndBoooooooooooo]

I even checked my spam folder, hoping that my winner's mail had gone astray but no joy.

Sigh.

[alemci]
