I've dropped my phone on asphalt and concrete a couple few times, no case, it still looks mint (though the battery flew out...). I'm still on Gingerbread because I don't like Ice Cream sandwich. And there's nothing my phone can't do that I want it to do - which are call, text, take decent pictures and higher res 30fps video, take memos, swype text, surf when I need something and that has a display and browser that can handle it......what else?.....  I'm up for upgrade/change providers if I wish. I can't find another 'no-worry-about-it' plan that costs or/and has more features for the same price or less......And getting a new phone and selling mine wouldn't be worth the money versus the hassle. I don't see changing a thing indefinitely.

I was thinking the same thing, BUT if he has a device with low ram it's better just to stay with gb. ICS runs like ass on a device with 384mb of ram.


good day.

CyanogenMod 10. There’s no official announcement about the minimum hardware requirements for running Jelly Bean update, but if your current device has been capable to run the ICS update properly, then it’s likely that your device is also compatible with Android 4.1, although it isn’t officially from your device manufacturer. Some low-end smartphone such as the Xperia X8 which only equipped with a 600 MHz Single Core processor and 168 MB of RAM are able to run CM10 custom ROM (based on Android 4.1).

This what I got:

Samsung Exynos 3
Single core, 1000 MHz, ARM Cortex-A8
Graphics processor: PowerVR SGX540
512 MB RAM / 512 MB ROM

I just don't need anything else, and I don't want to change anything up.

The S4 Google phone looks good but only on ATT and T-Mobile.  Drat.

I'm running the LG Motion 4G on MetroPCS, which has to be one of the most unsung phones out there. Sure, the screen isn't huge, and it's running ICS, but it's got plenty of grunt (1.2ghz dual core) in addition to really solid battery life.

I don't have to deal with Handbrake to watch the videos I download, and it's got enough power to run SF3:TS (arcade) and Tekken 3 (PS1) full speed, both via RetroArch. I'm really happy.

I still have a Motorola flip phone work provided me years ago.  It's Verizon branded.  Short of intentionally breaking it, it won't stop working, and I'm not one to whine about something new when the one I have works and does what I need.
I'll exercise patience when you stop exercising stupidity.

its not a Nokia so i'm sure you can break it and they will believe it was accidental.

Man, I could not go back to a po folks phone. I don't use any of the bling, but a good camera, decent (mostly emergency) surfing capacity, and a touch interface are musts.
