Hardy, YOU don't need a phone where you live. YOU my friend, need a satellite dish strapped to your back wired to a receiver!

Been with Verizon for a while and made the switch from a Motorola Droid to an Iphone 4s. I wanted to see what all the hype was about. Got an upgrade coming up and I am thinking about going back to Android. IDK, we'll see what happens....

Geddon- yours isn't really a dinosaur, that is just what the carriers and apple want us to think. The iphone4 is a very capable phone, just not the newest/shinest/most expensive.
JoeCallahan- After a few tries, some other guys on XDA and myself have managed to port Epic Touch 4G rom's to our SCH-R760's. The only real difference is the 4G radio.
Currently running Magical Unicorn 4.2.2 with just a few minor issues. Now I need to hit an ACS store and copy down the APN's. I found a modem that works pretty well. The good thing about having a generic phone is the almost complete lack of bloatware, besides the Samsung stuff.
I will most likely be moving to Moto if they have unlocked bootloaders, otherwise it's going to be one of the Xperia Z's for my next phone.
I normally kid the Apple geeks, but I am totally a Sony fanboy. Their stuff is just plain old better, like Ford's, 3M products and Case backhoes lol.

Love Droid (Dont like Apple)
Have a Droid Razr HD with Verizon 4G (not unlimited but turns out I don't need it)
Hate the phone. It's slow as balls. I guess I dont hate it but I hate the fact that its slow. It lags a lot and is no faster (if not slower) than my old Incredible.
Love Droid though. I love what you can do with it. Love everything about it. Just not completely happy with the phone itself.

RE: Way OT: Do you have a smart phone/what kind/carrier and why?
So I'm bored and decided to visit beckett and wanted to see what people are using for phones too.
I just grabbed a Galaxy s4, I don't think I'll ever go back to 3g data and a screen smaller than 5". Bigger, faster, stronger lol. There is so much more available when it comes to root access than junky cdma phones it's almost overwhelming. It's basically the t-mobile variant, just branded with our Alaska regional carrier.

I use a LG Optimus G....it's been out for about a year now, but the thing is lightening fast and has great screen quality. I only buy android phones, and it's a great pick if you don't want to be just another person who has a samsung galaxy whatever phone.

I've got the iphone 5s. Absolutely love it. Screen size could be a little bit bigger, but it's extremely faster than the 4s I had, and can be jailbreak'd for anything after that I am looking for.
While you may not be able to much more with it after jailbreaking, it still allows other stuff to be used.
I have AT&T, and they are the only carrier that works right where we live (apparently dead zone).

I still have that iPhone 4! Got it when it first came out & I'm with Verizon with a plan that they don't offer anymore! Thats honestly the main reason why i used my upgrade to just replace my old phone for a new one of the same model! lol
I am part of the huge brain washed population that were "sold a dream" about Apple products! lol
I have a macbook air(don't get one), a few different gens of iPods and iPhone! I thought about getting an iPad but had to come to reality on that one and asked the forbidden question in the Apple world of "Why do I need that?" lol
