If you want to upgrade you must buy a droid.

If you want the best phone on the market the Razr HD or HD Maxx is the way to go.

If you want a good phone but a bad *** screen(5.5") The note II is what you want. I have the Note II and like it. Samsung isn't always compleatly seamless like the Razr but the huge screen is amazing!

P.S. The 5 isn't an upgrade. The battery still sucks and the screen is tiny! There are hundreds of other downfalls but those have been argued in many other threads. My Note II will stay charged for 2 full days with reasonable use and I can be on it litteraly all day long I still get 7a.m till 11 p.m. and it has 10% battery left.

Living in the country the service sucks on the Iphone. I use to have a Motorola Tundra and i could talk on it inside the house. Not so much with the iphone. Gotta set it in a window to get enough service to send a text most the times.

Rugby gets here tom.. we shall see.

Im in downtown Jackson right now and only have 3 bars of service

I'm not sure why this hasn't been mentioned, but there are a few really good phones coming out very soon within the next few weeks/months.

The HTC One is coming out in a few weeks and I'm strongly considering it. Also, the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be out within the next few months that I currently plan to get.

Here is a three way comparison between the One, S4, and the Iphone 5:

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs HTC One vs Apple iPhone 5 - Phone specs comparison

Notes:
-Both have a bigger screen than the Iphone 5
-Higher resolution
-Larger batteries (The S4 has almost twice milliamps)
-S4 has an 8-core processor, One has a quad core, Iphone 5 has a dual core
-Cameras are better on both compares to the Iphone 5

If you want a phone that is easy to use for both an 8 and an 80 year old then get the iPhone 5. If you want the best value for your money then consider the HTC One or the S4. Both are going to be amazing phones and the Android operating systems continue to improve.

my biggest pet peeve with Apple is when you update your software/firmware its never the same. mine pretty much goes full retard everyday.

Cool

your problem was that it was a 3G .. the 4 or 4s were way better .. the new 5 i dont know if they are any much improvement over 4s but the 3gss sucked and the updates made them worse lol ... prbably anything new will get u better service than that 3gs ever did
