i thought youd be more worried about being tracked via that mark of the beast

i have my wifes hand me downs now... dont carry it unless i have to.. basically use it to stream tv/movies all day instead --- chromecast

hand me downs have issues though.. my htc one has a dead section up in the upper left hand corner from all the woman txting the old lady does..... she gave me her iphone 5 with cracked screen a few months ago.. havent fixed the screen yet but thats my new phone..

i had a razr.. was okay.. was a hand me down from my bro... i never really cared for mobile phones but i enjoyed the blackberry with da full qwerty keyboards i had many years ago..

are you on a plan? they give out new phones every couple of years??

I had a Blackberry similar to this at one point. I loved it. It's to bad RIM went to shit. Well, the last time I got a phone that's how my carrier did it. You basically signed a two year contract and the phone came with the contract. Now its like you have to pay monthly for the phone you buy. Horseshit I say!

First one I ever had was the Ericcson 628 in 1997 when I was in college.

Had the Galaxy S3 and S5 and liked them both so will probably get the S7 since I'm due for an upgrade.

>looks at everyone with suspicion< I love my Note 6 and yes, it is the side of a billboard. I will not replace it until Samsung hits me up with a non exploding version in the future. Perhaps they call it something else not Note as the brand may be tarnished. Can not do smart phones without a stylus.

Was that the Galaxy S7? Have they not fixed it? Wth Samsung. This is why I stick with my POS 4 year old phone.

It was the Note 7 and you can't get them anymore. They scrapped the entire production.

I got an iPhone 6 in February of last year, its not yet two years old and the battery is completely shot. Granted, I use the phone all the fucking time, too much for sure, and its the main device I use to keep up with you dipshits so that alone is exhausting. The phone dies at 75% a lot, or it'll be at 80% and I'll walk away for ten minutes, come back, hit the home button and it reads 22%. Ridiculous.

But really though, you get into a two year lease just for a phone's battery not to last the entirety of the lease... That's ridiculous. So I have to pay an extra $23 a month to get the phone I want (iPhone7 Plus) which is an obvious upgrade, but come on, the battery should be able to make it through the lease.

had a tablet that did that.

once it hit 50% it drained to zero, you couldn't even turn it on.

It appears my phone fell out of my pocket tonight when I was walking my dog. Looks like I will be getting a phone sooner then I thought. RIP Samsung Axiom. It was a great 4 years.

Those were the shit. And if push came to shove, you could put it in a sock, and knock someone out with it.

I have an S7 Edge and it's great. My only complaint is that the type ahead function is stupid sometimes.

The exploding phone was the Galaxy Note S7 which is their tablet phone. It was actually a great phone if you like big phones aside from the battery blowing up, lol.

I went with the iPhone 6. I really wanted the Google Pixel but the only carrier that had it was Verizon and their data plans are shit.

iPhone 6 is a great phone and you will appreciate the orderly, automatic OS and fix updates
