In a moment of weakness
S line is a piece of crap cheap case that if your device breaks you only spent £2 so what the hell. I use a Tech21 case and they are supposed to be pretty good.
You could search other cases but these are pretty minimal.

Personal phone is IP5 and work phone is a HTC android. I lasted 3 months with the work phone before I got pig sick of it. Horrendous phone with an operating system which made me want to launch it out of the window.
The work phone is now a non smart (or even remotely clever) Sony Ericsson which is years and years old from the back of a drawer from home.
Apparently we are going to be given a Windows phone soon. I've never even seen one but surely it can't be any worse than Android?

Girlfriend had Windows phone , very slick, but not enormously clever
I debated BlackBerry leap , might have gone for it if the possessor wasn't 5 years old

Well I spent about an hour surfing on 3g
Would that have done it?
Probably an hour calling
Otherwise didn't even use Bluetooth streaming like I do during the week for several hours a day

Battery Life improves noticeably by about 5th charge. Probably, cause by then its finished updating all the apps.
Bad signal area will drain any phone. You probably forgot to charge it the night before.

Ive had mine for about a month now,
Overall i like it ,
Still have a few niggles, i miss the functionality of the LLama app on android, it was nice to have Bluetooth turn off automatically at a certain location & time. as well as putting the phone to silent.
Yes we have some of the functions on Ios, but it's a basic time / date no 5 /2 functionality
And itunes, still struggling with it, It still wont pull stuff from other sources that I've ripped from.
I point it to the containing folder and it doesn't see stuff lol .
if i go to the dedicated folder in i tunes, guess what i have two of them, so i either have to duplicate stuff... or cant be arsed...
I use clementine to do my music in , and spotify for playback, as the interface for itunes is so small i either hit other functions or end up playing the same track over and over again
no biggies, its still way better than the Z3
Mart

Well now the time has come for me.
My current iP5 is nearly 4 years old and has had heavy use, multiple droppings and has never had any protection. It now intermittently turns off then back on 2 or 3 times a day so time to move on.
I've always held back from getting a new one as iOS9 is the same on whatever device it's applied to regardless of what anyone says so I've never seen the point of a new phone.
Tomorrow I will mostly be getting a 6S although I was tempted by the 4" SE but as it looks almost identical to my current phone I figured **** that.
On a side note, it took me 30 minutes and speaking to 3 different Asian Gentlemen just to acquire my Pac code from 3mobile.
I was "Very" clear from the start of the call that I was leaving to try another network and they just rattled on and on and on. I've never experienced anything like it. They even said they would cut my unlimited everything bill from £28 to £9 but my flat no to that saw them dish out the code

Id have gone with 3 given choice , especially for 9 quid a month !?
my first smart phone had 3.5 " screen , in 2007, but that's too small in modern world

In large buildings the thing is simply an ornament so even at £9 a month, it's a very expensive ornament.
Either way, my current phone is knackered so I need a new one anyway so the £9 was never going to happen.
