What phone do you have?
So what phones are we all using?
I picked up the HTC Droid DNA on release day. Let me tell you, it is one sweet phone. Hardware wise I would argue it is the best phone ever made. Sometimes I just stare at the full 1080p display and a bit of drool forms in the corner of my mouth. It also benchmarks higher than every other android phone out there right now.

I also have a BlackBerry Curve from work. Hey, if they're going to pay for it and I am told by a Director to use it like a personal phone, I'll save the money on a plan.

| I have an iPhone 3, 4 & 5.
I have not had good experience with the 5 but maybe it is just me or my phone. Very bad battery performance and signal reception both seem to be worse than the 4 was.
Possibly these are things that can be improved in OS or firmware updates over time (I hope).

How about Samsung Galaxy S3? Some people say it's just like iPhone 5. You think it's much better?

I think its pretty good piece of gear. My girlfriend got one and I put CM10 on it and it's great!
I am currently running a Nexus 1 with Cyanogenmod 7 on it. Don't plan on upgrading until this thing blows up!

Dude, shit is SO cash. Great phone, super powerful great great phone.
Look into putting Cyanogenmod on it, it's pretty easy if YOU READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY!
It gives you way more use of the device, more performance and more customization options.
One thing about the S3 that bugs me, is every so often if you are using it, a tiny little picture of an EYE will appear on the notification bar. My friend kept saying how weirded out he was by it. Turns out it is an EYEBALL tracking feature, it looks at your face, trying to determine if your eyes are looking at the phone, so it doesn't turn off the screen.
Bugs the SHIT out of me.
