yup. I love it. And I've dropped mine serval times. The first time it only cracked the cover, the last time it was the actual gorilla glass. The lcd survived both. Never felt it getting hot.

The iphone looks tiny to me.

OK, I'm due... Son says get the I-Phone. Daughter says get a Samsung.

I don't know which I-Phone to even consider.

I dislike the HUGENESS of the Galaxy.

Go...

Neither. Get an HTC One. I adore mine.

Seems like this thread has good advice mojo. My turn?

I've been rocking an iphone 4s + prepaid non-contract (straight talk) for a few years.

Wifi on the phone seems to have kicked the bucket today, which kinda sucks -- I use this phone a lot on for on-the-go emails. I'm going to try and eke a few more months out of it, but I'm taking this as a sign to start looking for a new phone.

My main conundrum: I think phones are too large. I'm really reluctant to go physically larger than a 4s, which rules out newer Apple devices (see chart). I don't have anything ideologically against going Android, but the shopping experience is kind of overwhelming. Too many choices.

Secondary conundrum: I'm abusive to phones. It gets dropped a lot. Carried in a pocket with screws and saw dust. Carried in an uninsulated pocket in subzero weather. Used with greasy hands. I am honestly amazed this phone is not yet destroyed.

It looks like I can pick up another 4s on fleabay for $180-250 depending on how refurbished it is. I'd be willing to spend a few hundo more for something a few years newer/not refurbished, if it's an actual improvement. Thoughts?

What carrier?

Clodfobble · 11-13-2013, 09:36 AM

Did you mean me, or classic? I'm on T-Mobile.

Undertoad · 11-13-2013, 11:02 AM

I was asking Classic about carrier, but it's a good question for everyone. Seems like T-Mo is on the rise unless you live in Griff country.

lumberjim · 11-13-2013, 11:53 AM

Yeah. I like t mobile just fine

glatt · 11-13-2013, 12:09 PM

I have AT&T on my work phone, and it's fine. Sucks in the subway, but good everywhere else. Verizon is apparently good in the subway.

Wife has Virgin Mobile no contract, and loves it. I think they use the Sprint system. She's thinking about upgrading her phone. Not enough memory for the apps she wants. She wants to stay with Virgin Mobile because of the low cost.

BigV · 11-13-2013, 12:25 PM

I have Virgin Mobile, and it's ok. There are some areas of thin coverage here in town. The price is right, $35/month, 300 minutes and unlimited 3G data, month to month, no contract (I really like that part). There was a limited number of phones available and I paid retail ($300) for mine, an HTC 3D EVO.

Which cell phone is best for use during travel? I am little confused and I want to get some ideas from the above members who are having big knowledge about this. Basically I am a tourist and also I like to take best and important cell phones. However anyone has ideas for me then you must guide me soon.

lumberjim · 11-14-2014, 11:05 PM

I got the Note 4 today. I am pleased. I use my phone mostly to read things. So why not get the biggest one that makes browsing and texting easier? besides, I have big ham hands, and this stylus is the shizznit . I'm writing this post. In my re tard hand writing and it converts it into tex+ . pretty accurate too !

I have yet to get all up in it's business, but l am optimistic about it.

lumberjim · 11-14-2014, 11:11 PM

Lol, it's too fast for me to catch it with a screen shot. l'll try again. ..
