Most durable dependable cells I've ever had were all Nokia'sHow much did the HTC cost and how much did the iCrap cost? Sorries... I'm a die hard Fruit product hater...
But... i've owned two HTC's (Desire and One X+) and don't have no complaints what so ever. Then again, I have to add that I always unlock/root/re-flash custom firmware on every phone I get.
Rocking LG G4 at the moment. Don't get one... the leather cover sucks and shows wear after a few months already.
I figured as much. It was just a GI joe moment.
You know....
"The more you know" and such.
I personally didn't care that you said that, it doesn't offend me.
That's why I got the wife a lumia 1520. She loves windows phone and the phone is rugged as hell. I love Nokia and can't wait for them to start making phones again
Different strokes, different folks. I buy all my phones new and outright, no contracts, and I buy top of the line and get a new one every year or so. My phones of choice since 2012 have been the HTC One X, HTC One M7, and HTC One M8.
All three phones are still working fine, and all three still look great, especially considering I don't use cases or covers.
But if you have something on the lower end of the HTC scale, you've got a phone that costs $200 and you're comparing it to a phone that costs $700 and up.
Are you and your son on the same carrier? That can make a HUGE difference...here at home, I get solid Verizon voice and LTE, but pop in an AT&T or T-Mobile SIM and I'm lucky to get 1 bar voice and drop down to 3G data.
And finally, Apple has been known to "cheat' on the signal strength meter.
Loved my N82 back in the day. The best non-touchscreen phone I have owned. Sony Ericsson K750i being in second.
These days the manufacturer means nothing (to some extent). Pretty much everyone one uses the same hardware (MediaTek chipsets for the low end, Qualcomm for mid and high end. Sans Samsung, who have their Exynos. Plus ARM CPUs) and pretty much the same software... conclusions can't really be drawn judging by vendor. It varies from device to device. For example, one HTC can be a great product, while other can turn out to be pretty meh.
Apple is a different story though. Hardware wise they're all pretty much meh, with even new models being outdated as much as two years. They do have good software optimization and marketing though... have to give them that.
Ya and iPhones have never been known for their stellar build quality. cheap screens that shatter at small drops, or the back when they did the glass back, that antenna issue they had that apple tried to ignore by saying hold ur phone different, and lets not forget the bending. The software on the phone is good but the build quality is pretty subparDifferent strokes, different folks.

Not bashing iPhone or apple.

I really like my iPhone, then again I can't bring myself to switch because I would then loose all my apps and such.
I was given a iPod touch years and years ago and that put me on the slippery slope of iware. I also enjoy the ease of use and whatnot.
I'm personally not in the "mine is better than yours" game. We all have preferences, my preference is go with what you know.... With all my apps and such, it be a shame to loose them all and have to start over with a new phone/software.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a "fanboy" of Apple, I don't stand in line on release day to get their products. Infact the iPhone is the only apple product I own. The only time I get a new phone is when my contract is up and I can renew and get a new phone for like $100 or whatnot. Then I pif my phone to whoever needs one in the family. Usually my wife. She doesn't care what phone she has as long as it has Netflix. Lol
Alright, lets see if Tagging someone gets their attention.

I like a lite Nut taste in a creamy desert mix.

Damn the only camera in Chicago is brokenLooking through the thread and looks like no one has received from the ECF 50 yet haven't been on really cause I've been out job hunting and haven't posted pics in other thread of the Innokin grand prize yet cause my phone overheated the other day and now if I take a pic with main camera everything is tinted purpleHTC phones
Well if your ever near Pittsburgh, Pa. stop by, we got a few cameras here you can use
My roommate did the switch twice. Shocked the hell out of me, I was like what about ur stuff and he was like meh. He went from iPhone to android, stayed with android for a few years and now is on windows phone. Still boggles my mind how he was just able to give up all his purchases twice.
@FringeChief68 I'll still get pics done just gotta dig out my old phone take pics then upload them just taking longer than I expected
Yah, I don't want to even look at how much I have spent in purchases over the years. But I do know, why change it when it works? I've never had an issue with my iPhone's. No broken screens, bending, or antenna issues.
And I'm rough on my phones. Like I drop mine daily. Luckily, I'm smart enough to put in a ballistic case just for the above reasons. I've literally chucked my phone against a cement floor with no damage to the phone. (I was testing a phone mount for our company, I was showing how well it held the phone and it finally decided to give away and launched my phone to the floor at Mach speed. No damage)
Yup son and I on same carrier at that time. We just changed to Consumer cell. My neighbor did as well he has a cheap off brand phone and he almost always has at least twice the signal strength. CC uses ATT network so you can't say it's cause of a small company.Different strokes, different folks.

Is that in the same spot? I have places in my house that are dead but a few feet over is almost full bars.
This is where the big difference is for me and most of you. A phone is to make and receive calls with. I do a little texting and the camera is a great thing, cause I can easily send them on to those I want to or just email them to myself. That's about as far a stretch I make using the phone. I don't use the internet on my phone I have a computer for that, I don't need a bunch of IMHO mini programs to do whatever you guys need all those apps for. And I like it that way. IMHO screen on a phone is too small to be able to relax and see it well enough for me in my advanced years. Yeah I'm saying I'm old and obsolete when it comes to my phone. 
Pretty much anywhere in his or my place. we walked around inside and outside of both places comparing the signal strength. Mine was pretty much always about half of what the neighbors or my sons phone was. we may have just gotten two from a bad lot you shtuff happens.
AH, Mech sauce!
I am wrapping up a week of vaping 5 30 ml bottles of Mech Sauce (Empress Milk, Mech Milk, Egyptian Alien, Malifik and Big Nana Arms).
Now to the final decision what 2 flavors to reorder in 100 ml bottles at 15 bucks ea plus 5 bucks shipping = 17.50 bucks each 100ml bpttle.
Empress Milk for sure and the second one....... Malifik or Big Nana Arms?
