Phones are like cars in that almost no-one makes a bad one anymore. |

Pick a smart phone, any smart phone, and I can almost assure you that in |
25 |
this vast cavern of a room where I work I will find 3 people within an |
26 |
hour who have or had that phone. The last smart phone model that had a |
27 |
serious defect that applied across the range was the iPhone that had |
28 |
antenna problems. |

Since then everyone's shit just works for the most part like it was |
31 |
designed to. Even the Windows 8 thingy from Nokia. It does what it says |
32 |
on the box. |

Yes, software bugs exist such as Apple's maps but that's not phone |
35 |
design, that's bad data fed into a db that an app uses |
36 |
|
37 |
These days the most relible way to pick a phone that will work for you |
38 |
is the one that a) runs the software you like if you care about such |
39 |
things and b) feels nice in your hand and fits in your pocket |
