The amount of money spent on cell phones and service is crazy...

The phone is fukking amazing. The speakers are worth the price of entry alone. I ditched my Samsung S7 Edge for it and i couldn't be happier. S7 has better camera and is more svelte but this phone beats it in every thing else.

Things i love:

GOAT Battery life (lasts 2 days without charge easy for me with moderate use)
Speakers
Big screen
Premium metal body. Its literally built like a tank
Camera is decent enough
Fast as fukk. Literally no lag.
Extremely strong cell signal. Never drop calls anywhere in my house. Far superior to Iphone. On par with S7
Fastest 4G signal for T-mobile supported
Dual Sim Card Supported
Supports SD card expansion

I'll replace my BB with it then.

My main driver is the Xiaomi Note 3 Pro and let me tell you these Chinese phones are killing the game. Camera is the one aspect they never get right but I don't use it so I'm good.

$520 for the Axon 7 here so I'll wait when the 9 drops or buy it in March.

To be missing phone calls and text messages. I have a GS6 Edge, been with Verizon for 2 years now. A few peeps telling me they called the phone, rings a few times goes to VM. Got sent a text this morning from a friends phone, never showed up on my end, her phone says it went.

Friend has an iPhone 6 with T-Mobile, complains his service is horrible, everything from missed calls, text messages, and no service.... I know there is varying factors for some of this, however is the cell networks not strong enough or is phone hardware lacking. I remember years ago, Apple had a huge problem with the antenna in the iPhone if you hold it a certain way..

As much as I hate to factory reset my GS6, gonna try it, and take it to Verizon to make sure everything is working correctly.
Why the hell are you with Verizon? I have never left a phone carrier faster than them. Service is generally great, but that price of phone service plus 12gb of data is like fukkin $140! Tmobile bought me out the contract and now I'm paying $70/month for damn near unlimited data

I was working in a store in the electronics dept and we sold phones and service from AT&T and Verizon, I had Sprint, couldn't get service for shyt in the store and at home was terrible at times, noticed every time I activated a Verizon phone, it worked everywhere, I asked a few customers and employees about their service with them, not many complained, only about the pricing. Left Sprint after 14yrs, made the switch to Verizon. T-Mobile may be an option for me, will have to check their reviews, pricing, and coverage in my area.

I bought the blu hdr1 for 60 because I'm a prime member and I'm using it on cricket.... I will never buy a phone in store or online from cricket again unless it's a deal.. I will by a off brand like blu or a refurbished phone through Amazon......... Good deals

Can't relate.

I've only had my work phone for the last 3 years. Before then I had a crappy AT&T phone with no data.

Apple is kinda boring now but I'll never switch


Androids are always glitchy and slow sometimes


Never had a issue with my iPhone tbh

This right here........... :salute:

You get latest and greatest smartphone which is anywhere from $400 to $800, yearly service at $60/month will run you $720 plus taxes and fees. For all that money with the amount of cell customers we should be on a NASA level communication network. I'm :old:, I remember back when we had pagers and had to find a payphone.
