My phone fetish is a running joke in my house hold.
The best trades are the ones where you end up making money in the end. Last August I came to AT&T after stints with Verizon, Cricket and then Sprint. I don't think Verizon will ever let me activate a phone with them again after all the trouble I caused them in the rentention department. Cricket is, well Cricket. Sprint was something I wanted to work. The price was fair and the service/coverage was moderately good. The issue came with my wife's phones - they would never work. She was generally the catalyst in changing carriers, so after I swapped us to AT&T I made it clear we have to stick it out a while.
Since August 2012 I have had a Lumia 900, HTC One X, Lumia 900 [different], Lumia 920, Motorola Atrix HD, Lumia 920 [different], Motorola Atrix HD, Samsung Galaxy S3, Nexus 4, Motorola Atrix HD [same], Nexus S, Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, Lumia 1020, HTC One.
That's just with AT&T over the last year or so, and does not include what I had on Sprint (multiple), Cricket (one) and Verizon (another plethora). This also excludes my stint in the industry where I would swap out phones every quarter because I could just pay employee pricing and get a new phone. Back then Nokia feature phones on Cingular were pretty nice and reliable. If I only knew then what I know now....
I have used every operating system other than BB10 and iOS. I was willing to trade my Lumia 1020 for a BlackBerry Q10 but I had no takers. I ended up selling the phone for cash, so bye bye Windows Phone.
It's a great mobile operating system and Nokia makes nice phones, but I made a choice and went with what was the most functional out of a Lumia 1020 and an HTC One.
