thinking of switching from iphone to this. played around with one in the store and really liking the widgets and all... have a few questions hope all sifus here can help answer

1) how's the durability of the phone? i'm worried since its so big i'll accidentally snap in in half esp when it is in my pocket.

2) is it better to get the LTE version? saw in garage sales around 2.6-2.7k

3) how much will i lose out if i dont want to root the phone and do all those confusing stuff? there are a few ROMs like cyanogen and oxygen which i saw is pretty nice. those cant be done without rooting right? also confused about themes - do u need to root to change themes?

4) the issue of transferring all my contacts, calendar, messages, photo, apps (especially paid apps - how to transfer), etc etc from iphone to android (i think there's a post in the first page but it only covers ... messages or something. need to check after sending this msg)

i am not a heavy user (in fact all my iphone apps can fit in 1 page currently) but really digging the ability to write notes, draw stuff (like maps and sending over whatsapp), and having a large internet browser i could carry aroundd in my pocket.

guys, will the 32 / 64 gb version be made available in MY?

i've finally decided to make the switch from apple to android and note 2 will be my first android phone.

just one last thing i'm wondering - any of u guys experienced discoloration (phone turning yellow) from white samsung models? because i prefer white but not if it will get discolored.

google search so far says none, but i havent found a post from, say, a person using the same phone for 2 yrs or more.

would be glad to get some input on this as color will be the last thing i need to decide on this awesome phone and i'm leaning more towards white, probably 60-40.

i dont own one yet (arriving next week) but from all the googling and reading, so far read no issues

also read some comments from sifus here to detach the cover when charging especially if using white model... if not scared the heat will cause the cover to stain the phone... especially cheapo covers
