      Waiting for them to announce the Nexus 5 to replace the Galaxy Nexus I have now that's a little long in the tooth.

        Nokia is a turd too, the only decent options for smart phones are iPhones and Androids IMO.  I'd get an iPhone or a stock Android Nexus.

        Yup, what he said.

        We did a pretty extensive study in my agency for what platform should we use since blackberry was failing miserably for out needs. iOS and Android were out top picks. We didn't like Windows. Nokia wasn't even an option from the get go

        You seem to have already made up your mind in what you will not tolerate. Just buy whatever in that case.

        I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

          I don't use internetz on my phone apart from the very occasional IH forum browsing through Tapatalk… All it needs is a calculator, has to be all touchscreen, heavy, and tough as nails...

            Seul, if you want an Android device then either try to get a Nexus 4, which Google were selling for £160 to £200 (in the UK), or join Tigerpac in the wait for the Nexus 5. Most handset manufacturers put a metric tonne of rubbish software onto their phones to distinguish them from the competition, and it never ends well.

            Alternatively, if you want to really nerd out, buy a Samsung Galaxy S4 or HTC One, root it, and install the Google Play edition software, that gives you the vanilla Android OS. In the off chance you want to spend entirely too much, get a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, which is the armour plated version, and can take more abuse than most phones.

            Or, there's the JCB ProSmart…

                So let's talk models that are 2 years old… How's the HTC Desire, for example?..

                  Palm had a pretty cool solution that never gained traction

                  I bought 2 Palm Pre's. Hardware was a bit shitty, but WebOS was way ahead of it's time concept wise.

                      Currently looking at HTC Desire S. The new ones are probably quicker and such, but I don't need all that… Looking at a second hand one ("as new") for 90 quid...

                            Just got an LG G2 for Verizon - great screen, almost no bezel at all - nice big 3000 mAh battery that  actually lasts a full day of hard use

                                I'm nearing the end of my contract and considering not even upgrading from my 4S. I have spent time messing around with a mates 5S and I know it's quicker etc…., but not stunningly quicker.

                                Fuck the tech race, I'm out  😞

                                    I'll put a small wager on you having a new phone in a year/1.5 years tops from now.

                                      As I have no idea if my 4S will break in this time frame it would be a fairly stupid wager for me to agree. However, should you wish to insert a breakage clause I am willing to say I will go no higher than a replacement 4S for the next 12 months ($50 bet) or 18 months ($100 bet).

                                        Let's go with something not money focused, playful style. Snail mail something as yet to be decided of low value.

                                        in 18 months I have a feeling 1 of will likely happen;
                                        a) the battery will not charge properly
                                        b) the software will have security exploits that are not longer patched
                                        c) new versions of software required to remain secure don't run
                                        d) new must have 'apps' won't work properly

                                        Don't forget the phones are designed with a certain planned obsolescence regardless of your usage.

                                        Breaking aside, let's play :). Best of luck to you :).

                                            What Snowy said. All these phones are designed to have an expiration date. Judging from what Apple has done in the past, the iOS7 update will be the last for the 4S

                                            After that, service based apps will cease to work, which personally, I can't have.

                                            I probably could have held out another year on my 4S, but the sooner I upgrade my phone and sell the old one, the more money I can get back for the old one. Jody and I broke even by upgrading, which was pretty cool

                                            I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose
