Honestly, for the most part with phones it's all about luck in that department. I've dropped my Nexus 4 more times then I can remember in the last two weeks, I don't know why but I've been over-the-top clumsy with it. Just tonight it fell out of my hoodie pocket when I was getting out of my truck and when I was at the movies I had it on my lap and stood up to let someone move past me in the aisle I forgot I had it on my leg and it plopped on the floor, my gf thought it was done for but it was fine. For a glass phone I've been super lucky.

I've never busted a phone, iPhone or Android, but the most impressive destruction I've seen goes to Android. I've got friends with cracked screens on iPhone, but a guy I work with dropped his Galaxy and it hit in just the exact wrong way.. it literally exploded, like it had a bit of C4 in it. I couldn't have done a better job with a screwdriver, it was truly impressive.

I've busted two Blackberrys, an iPod touch, an iPad, my Nexus S and I have little doubt I'll eventually break my Nexus 4 and 7. You are a gentle lover.

Apparently those things have a lower resolution than even a normal iPad. The video shows that the entire damn screen can only show 4 tweets at one time!

I'm just curious if a lack of supply could end up costing Apple customers.

My contract is up November 3rd. I will wait until that day and then call again to get back in line for a 5S, minus the $40 early cancellation fee. If the Nexus 5 comes out before they ship the phone and I like what I see, I would be willing to drop the money on it and choose a new carrier for a cheap plan if Rogers can't do anything interesting for me.
When I look at what apps I use regularly, I wouldn't be missing too much switching from iOS to Android. I've invested quite a bit in iOS gaming over the last few years, but I don't use them often enough for it to be a major consideration.

I had an iPhone for the longest time, now I have a note 3 and one plus one and man its way way better. So many qualms about the iOS interface. Android ftw!

Kinda OT here but apple Iphone related. I just didn't want to start a new thread anyways, for all the other iphone users 4,5 6 whatever. Is using lightning cables other then from apple like from ebay cause any damage to the phones? I ask this because I was thinking of ordering a bunch from ebay because their dirt cheap around $2 each compared to the $18 in store or something like that.

Speaking from experience, I had a $2 lightning cable destroy an iPhone 5. Fortunately Apple covered it under warranty. If you are looking for cheap, look at Monoprice as they have Apple certified cables for less.
