70K Before Wacken 2013

My boyfriend gets his free from his company - lucky bugger. He's going to try to convince them to let him get a EU plan for the month when we go to WOA so we can have internet LOL

Nice. I just use an unlocked phone and get a prepaid card from a European carrier.

Assuming the reviews say it's at least mostly as good as it's supposed to be, anyway. If it turns out it sucks, I'll just step back to the regular Razr Maxx. But I think it'll be solid.

I hope so. Apple needs to go away..

I've got an Iphone and I'm actually very happy with it as it is the first phone that doesn't crash all the time.

*runs and hides*

Seriously even my windows mobile phone did not crash.
Luckily I am using android now. unfortunately my phone sucks

I'd be lying if I said the iPhone isn't a great phone (and that Apple isn't a quality company). I just can't stand the popularity of anything Apple, and how their fans are so devoted to their products it's practically a cult. That combined with being locked into Apple's OS, Apple's products, Apple-approved apps etc... open-source Android is much more my style. Plus the iPhones are known for being easy to break (drop it once on a hard surface, you're probably screwed) so you pretty much need a durable case to make it worth having.

I agree.

I like my phone. It's had virtually no issues. It's just a dumbphone.

The whole cult of Apple proprietary bullshit is what pisses me off. I'm a big proponent of open source. They piss me off with their 'new' phones - exactly the same as the old ones really just people 'have' to have them.

Some people argue that that's the case with any smartphone. But it's not - a lot of the better smartphones these days have Gorilla glass, making them far more durable than the iPhone or anything else.

That's why I'd never consider a smartphone without it (or something better in the future). My new one's going to be even more durable though - it's also got Kevlar backing.

I know what you mean - the 4S is basically just the 4 with Siri. Costs $100 more though (and was $150 more up until like a week ago when they cut prices for the new one).

It's the popularity mostly though. I look around in my class right now and I see three of them within 15ft of me. They're everywhere, and that gets annoying fast.

That's super important! I drop my phone constantly.

Exactly - everyone does. I don't know why durability is so overlooked. Most phone reviews don't even mention it, unless it's a brief note that it has Gorilla glass. They do tons of benchmarks and battery tests but you have to go to Youtube to find a drop test.

 

[xforeverxmetalx]

Working in electronics, I can't tell you how often I hear about people who dropped their phone and broke it. They might have had an iPhone or some other smartphone but now they have to get a cheap prepaid phone to put on their contract because theirs didn't even last two years so they can't upgrade.

I've even seen people accidentally drop and break their phones in front of me a couple times.
