Walmart beats the crap out of any phone ( in stock ) compared to all retailers. I went back to the Samsung Rugby flip phone. $1.04. It's the 2nd one I've owned and is the best. I don't need all that expensive WESTSIDER junk to communicate.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

I have had a iPhone since it came out and won't be changing unless Apple makes some bad changes. At the same time my brother in law has purchased every iPhone killer since, always looking for something that works better, he still hasn't found it. :chuckle:

Very happy

Razr maxx for the battery life.  I have had no issues with it.  Well outside of face planting it on concrete... Several guys at work roll the htc rezound.  Couple have had problems with it.  If I was forced to buy a new one today.  It would probably be the galaxy s3.  That is a bad mofo.  Not sure the battery is as good as mine, but it has twice the ram.

I hate Apple. Good quality, but a very closed system. You must buy everything from them.

I prefer Android.

Apple is a system of perfection and a top end quality product in fit, finish, material and function.  :tup:

Microsoft...Puuuuuuft.

Just bought the wife a Razr HD and I have a Bionic.  Have had Motorola phones for a long time.

I just bought an S3 and really like it. I bought a map app with an overlay of WA public lands, and with the GPS function I found some new areas to hunt that I didn't know existed. Went back to the field a few days later and shot some geese on public land that I had no idea was public. I never saw this area on the paper map. Only bad thing is battery life if you use it for more than a phone. Might be a westsider toy but I will be using the map apps!

I have the lumia 900.  I'm very happy with it too.  I had the iphone 4 and the lumia blows it out of the water.

Sprint bastages promised us 4G service in my area two years ago.. still waiting  >:(

I'm leaning toward the iPhone for the sake of information security and Apple's corporate integrity compared to that of Google. I think I'm willing to take a lesser phone that costs more that will keep less of my private info floating around cyberspace. Its really a lesser of two evils. Reminds me of the election.

Pretty tough decision as Samsung Galaxy's are buy one, get one free right now  :(

Love my iphone.  I hated android and that if you delete a program, it's just like windows and leaves files belonging to the program.  Iphone is much more user friendly in my opinion.

We went with the iPhone 5. Seems like a solid, well built phone. Too early to tell whether we like the software (iOS vs Android) or not.  We also choose the white over black--has a very elegant and classy look to it.  :twocents:

Thanks all for your input.

I just recently (a couple days ago) got a LG Lucid (Verizon 4G even in the hills  :yike: :IBCOOL: ). So far I really like, and the price was pretty good  :drool:
