I'm resisting upgrading to a so called 'smart phone' as just about everyone I know who has one is always looking at a cracked screen.

That's because a majority of people are idiots. Just buy one. Fixing screens is ridiculously cheap and easy anyway, most of those Asian shops in shopping centres fix em on the spot for 50 bucks.

If you are that worried, buy an otterbox case.

Maybe they're on drugs!

I'm clumsy AF when it comes to my phones, but I've never come close to cracking or damaging the screens.
I'm amazed by the amount of damage people manage to do them.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Only time my phone has been damaged is when a mate dropped an olympic weight on it at the gym. ffs.

Lumias are top notch, I was actually holding out for the new one until my phone got smashed and I was forced to purchase another.

Wasn't there one with a 45 megapixel camera?

I have ******* no idea what is going on

It's like a modern, old-school Incubus if that makes any sense

fixing a screen is only easy if you have the gear.

Yeah, the thing protruded like an inch from the back of the camera though.

Never really heard much about them, Thought it would be a good seller but it just sort of died.

Galaxy and Ipod just have too much market dominance for it to crack at the moment, but they're still quality phones, especially if you're more of a Nokia, or Windows OS person. Don't have 100% app support, but meh, who needs em?

I have ditched both iPhones and Galaxies, I have an LG G4 at the moment, it's a great phone and comes with near stock android.

It's a shame what has become of Nokia, in the late 90's and up until the launch of the first iPhone, you were no one in the schoolyard if you didn't have the latest and greatest nokia.

It's only a shame commercially, their product is as strong as ever.

It's not for lack of trying.

Joke is on anyone who purchases a product tied to a monstrosity like iTunes.

Their next model IPhone.

>Remove 3.5mm headphone jack
>Replace with smaller (patented) headphone jack size in an attempt to reduce the phone thickness
>Sell a converter to people to convert their normal 3.5mm headphone jacks into the apple sized jack for $30 with a unit cost price of a bout 20 cents
>???
>Profit

Instant profit increase. People continue to buy this shit, ****s sake. Don't get me wrong, the IPhone itself is a great product for the most part, but Apple are an absolute shit stain of a company hell bent on controlling everything it's customers do, making money off every click they make and ensuring absolutely everything is patented (they patent stuff they don't even use in order to stifle innovation from competitors).

I admire them for the amount of things they get away with and people continue to back them in like total zealots. It's hilarious, hook line and sinker.

Yes, new Apple is becoming old Apple again.

If Samsung has some bells and whistles in the next lot of Android phones I will switch I think

 

[Dylan8]

Hello Moto

 

[SilenceOz]

iPhones are a quality product, but I agree with Feel too much shit surrounding how Apple mandates you use their device.
Prefer Android devices but Im not married to them, was close to swapping to iPhone last contract but the specs on the newest galaxy were better.

 

[Dylan8]

Nokia ****ed up by not making Android phones then by continuing to not make Android phones.

 

[raman]

lol @ non-Apple smartphones

 

[edgie]

Nokia stuffed up by not making Android phones then by continuing to not make Android phones.

Prior to their collaboration with Windows, it was symbiote? Yeah I'd never heard of it either.

Nokia are still making good phones though, and there's nothing wrong with the current OS setup.
