S5 is swappable plus lasts way longer on a charge than S3 at least. Like double. Water-resistant. Plus Lifeproof has a case for them, they are good cases.

Played with a friend's S5 and SIL's HTC One. Holy fucking bloated interface in your face.
Stock Android for this guy. Narrows the field nicely, and the remaining options are relatively cheap.
I'm in the market for a large phone... Currently have the htc one m7. I think I've whittled it down to the LG G3 or the GN 4. Anyone especially love or hate either of them? I really like the idea of the advanced stylus integration. But I had the GS4 for about a week and just couldn't stand TouchWiz. I understand it's been dialed back in the current rev... I'll probably install some othe rom anyway. Haven't looked yet to see who's got a good read on the stylus....
my nexus 4 is showing age, but still gets it done with android 5.0
nexus 6 is expensive as fuck
g3 is 2 generations ahead of the optimus g / nexus 4
The nexus 6 is looking nice.
Just got a new S5 over the weekend at Best Buy for free, basically. I like it.
More phone service related experience. Cracked my iphone screen. Skipped the stupid fucking apple store experience and went to shatterbuggy.com. Scheduled an appt to have my screen replaced the following day on their website. He dropped by my work on time, fixed the screen in 20 minutes for much less than Apple. Nice business model.
That's exactly what they want you to think. ;)Quote:

That being said, the 64gb model seems to be nonexistent, there's no sd card slot, the display and audio are reviewed as possibly the worst in class, Android 5 still needs some user hours before it's really ready for prime time.Quote:

I think I can buy the AT&T model for $499. And I really liked the G2. I bought one for my dad a few months after I got the M7 and was really torn between the two phones. When I met up with my dad several months later and used the G2 again, I was still impressed.
I know, the girl was really pushing their deal on me, but, bottom line, I have a new phone with no cash outlay and I reduced my monthly bill by 20 bucks, so, you know. I'm technically paying 600 bucks for the phone, but, whatever. Cheaper than the deal at Verizon by a few hundred.Quote:

I'm pretty happy with a sony xperia Z1 compact. Nicely built, great screen, very good battery life, sd card slot... all you can expect from a nice smartphone actualy, without too many BS proprietary apps. And it's supposed to be water and dust proof.
I guess the new one (Z3 ?) is nicer, in regular (large) or compact size.
Ça plane pour toi?
Anyone have an opinion on the new 2014 Moto X.
I got a coupon to buy one for $360
Seems hard to beat at that price
you either have the iphone or you dont
After two Motorola phones, I have moved on. They have both basically stopped working well after a few years.Quote:

My windows phone is finally ready to be retired, I'm ready to move on. Probably go back to iPhone or to something Android because some of the apps I need for work etc aren't available for windows phones. I need something I can drop frequently because I'm a moron. What's the rough and tumble tough phone now?
My wife's dad has been trying to give me his (year old) i-fone. Fuck that shit, my flip fone is titties and you can put it to yer ear or use speaker fone just fine.
It's more about the case than the phone itself anymore. I've dropped my Droid Maxx several times now - no issues. If you can't seem to hold onto your phone like a functioning human, check out either an Otter Box or Lifeproof case. Both make near bullet proof options for the grasping-impaired.Quote:

I was also tempted by the Z3 but didn't find the 5803 with a warranty for less than about $1200. I'll put the G3 through some paces... If it's not right, I'm going to send it back and wait for the SD810 SoC to come out. Moto has a droid with that chipset in the works that looks like it'll be the phone that google will wish they'd commissioned for the nexus 6.
Does anyone have the Galaxy Edge? I'm perfectly content with my Note 3, but I'm intrigued by the edge for no reason other than I like new gadgets.
I've been setting up my new G3 today, and this thing is great. Took about two minutes to root and take the at&t bullshit off. The more flexible ui is really handy. Quite an upgrade from my HTC One M7.
sony z3 compact. only phone thats close to being a reasonable size.
