That's good to know. But this one lasts longer than I need it (about a day and half, even in marginal/no cell coverage areas). So I will still wait for this one to die, and probably replace it with some future successor to the Droid Maxx.

You're not factoring in battery consumption :). I had both, trust me it is double.

    Screen is only slightly bigger (5" versus 4.7").

    But I'm really happy with this phone.  Don't anticipate switching
    until it dies.  It's a couple years old now, and it is stable,
    fast, and smooth.

    I don't know about others claims of android crashing. Mine hasn't
    crashed once in the two years that I've had it.  It may have been
    an issue with early versions of android, but I've only experienced
    jelly bean (+), and it just keeps trucking.

        Mike,

        The only guys I know that use belt clips to hold their phone
        are at wispa shows. In my everyday life, I know almost no
        one that have a phone in a holster or clip. Most everyone I
        know including many women put the phone in their front
        pocket as I do myself. Those who sit on their phone in their
        back pocket need some help.

                I put mine in my pocket all the time.  If I even
                thought about using the belt clip, the three women
                (wife and two teen daughters) would harass me
                mercilessly!

                    When I saw the 6+ at the Apple Store I thought
                    it was way over sized...especially since it
                    wouldn't fit in pants pockets.

                             The only reason I say it's "big" is
                            because sometimes it's hard to use one
                            handed and stretch your thumb all the
                            way to the top of the screen. Nothing
                            else about the phone is big...it's
                            actually very slim when in my pocket etc.

                            We use AT&T because they have the best
                            coverage and speeds in NW CO.

                                Still have it. Charge it once a

                                I have some kids that have iPhones
                                and we all like the find friends
                                apps so we can spy on each other.
                                One kid has lost his phone and needs
                                a new one.  That kid and my wife are

                                is OK with Apple products.  His

                                (Which is totally weird as I

                                pay. The new phones are pretty
                                expensive. But they will amortize
                                depending on the plan.
                                Too lazy to even attempt to
                                understand the plans from the
                                different carriers, the different
                                phones, etc etc.
                                I have used less than 0.01 GB of
                                data in the last month. Phone are
                                for talking on. But I realize that
                                my buggy whip factory stock is
                                probably worthless too.  So my
                                opinion as to features is irrelevant
                                as I still read books printed on
                                plant matter.  (I do like the built
                                in camera and a solar panel
                                orientation and location app) (And a
                                hymn book...)
                                But I would like to get a good
                                value.  I care more about price than
                                features or OS.  Not so the rest of
the clan. (As in Scottish Clan, OK, not Klan). So if anyone can
                                help me pick a direction It would be
                                appreciated.
