I'm only disappointed with the Windows Marketplace. I've been leaning toward trying out Android because I've had an iPhone and a Windows phone. Trying to broaden my horizons and shite

No. One of my workers has one and he likes it. I haven't looked to know for sure but I think the specs for it are still a tad behind the one year old S4.

Yea it's getting better though. I'm not a big app person so that doesn't really matter to me

Spec wise, they're basically the same except for the slightly larger screen in the S4.

Now the Note 3 and One Max on on the other hand...the One Max is just a bigger One without any spec upgrades so it's way behind the Note 3 in that department. It's still a good but extremely heavy device

It's the best mobile OS IMO. It's easy to learn, fast, reliable, good battery life, and great overall experience

The problem for me is that I'm now used to custom ROMs that allow me to customize my experience to the nth degree, so there's no way I could switch to something that may have a better UI, but is a closed system and not customizable. At this point one of the things I will look for in a new phone is how popular it is on XDA.

Makes sense if you are going to keep the phone a while. It sucks if you can't swap out a battery when it goes bad and stops holding a charge.

Removable batteries are all but gone.

The S5 is moving to an all aluminum chassis and won't have a removable battery either.

I made the switch from the OG Windows Mobile where I used to customize the shite out of my phones to Windows Phone. It took some getting used to not being able to customize certain things but I learned to enjoy it. It made me actually start to loathe putting custom ROMs on phones

I have a Droid DNA by HTC and I can't imagine a better phone than this. Its the distant cousin of the HTC one, so I'd say go with the ONE

I find the build quality of the HTC is top in the market

I have one and really like it. Although I am not a gamer. The note 4 speaks to the younger gamer crowd. It has a larger screen and some extra functions you may like.I have the HTC 1
