Since you are the one that obviously is unaware of many of at&t's unpublished plans and discounts it sound like you are the one that needs to "do your own research" before dictating to strangers what they should or should not buy.

There it is. That's all you have to say. The rest of your post was a fun house mirror summary of my situation. Sufficed to say for the majority of people my situation wouldn't be a problem. They would just get an Andriod or iOS phone and move on without 2 seconds thought. The problem is...

The way 2 year contracts work at at&t your monthly bill pays for the phone. Here is the rub though. Even if you pay off the phone or get a cheap crappy phone you still pay the same size bill every month. Even if you pay $0 up front you still end up paying hundreds after two years. Getting a...

Yeah. That's the problem. Plus my contract has a discount through work. So unlimited data and discount go away if I leave at&t. Discount may work for non contract offerings but I would be paying quite a bit with my data usage on anything other than unlimited.

No problem. What plan should I get without contract that has bullet proof coverage and 22+ GB of LTE data a month?

Pop my sim card into what?

Cool. I contemplated this as well. So you pulled this off with the 6s not the 6s Plus? I didn't know which iphone would be the best to do this with. I'll sit down and run the numbers and see whether I can replicate what you did. I may take the risk and try that. Strange how people who...

*Due to the type of contract I have and my usage pattern a noncontract phone is not an option* Windows Phone is getting tougher and tougher to be loyal to. I'm the type of customer at&t and MSFT love having. I buy a new flagship phone every two years and lock into two year contracts. My...

More than that. But also keep in mind every penny you spend on hardware cost gets magnified when translated into retail price. Never had a physical button break nor have I ever had any desire to have it "updated". Charging ports are another matter. Those things flake out with disturbing...

Anyone that thinks the Lumia 1520 or the 950 XL can hold a candle to the Panasonic LX100 is delusional. LX100 in action... Please post for me the 1520 videos that look like that. Notice the high light roll off. Notice the lack of macroblocking in low light. Notice the gradability. Yes...

Not sure if this is your issue but on my 1520 I could not access the 5 GHz band when the phone was in airplane mode with wifi turned on. I had to have the cellular antenna activated at the same time to access 5 GHz. Very maddening. Took me hours to figure that one out.

Only problem is we don't know how many of the phones MSFT actually made. If MSFT only made a few then the phone selling out is meaningless. Only time will tell. I hope they sold a lot. But if you can buy it on contract through a MSFT store I really don't care if it isn't on the shelf at...

What DSLR shoots movies that rival the detail out of the LX100? No it does not. I've sold pictures taken with an old 3mp camera. There is so much more to a lot of pictures other than technical quality. The dynamic range on cell phone cameras is poor. It is tough to hold the highlights and...

If you have a 1520 and you've done even 15 minutes worth of research on the Panasonic LX100 you know it blows the 1520 out of the water for photos and video. And the 1520 blows the LX100 out of the water in terms of size and convenience. What you get or don't get is a personal decision.

I 100% agree with this post. Do NOT buy used or refurbished memory cards. Do NOT buy cards from anyone but major trusted retailers. Card counterfeiting is big business. There are numerous reports of it on the internet. And research each brand of card before purchasing. Only the top tier...
