Is there a way to "never" install 8.1?

Please forgive me for being blunt but why is it that you decide the first time out with your new 6 inch phone that costs as much as house rent to go sit under your car, as I said forgive for being and judgmental but the handling of such devices on your part requires a little more fore thought, maybe its just me. I have a 1320 if does go into my pocket trousers its because I'm at work and decided to get comfortable by taking off my jacket in office. Handy work around the house phone is on a table in arms reach in protective case. Again I apologize for being a nit picker but in my eyes I don't really any warrant your rant in the second post.

Because that's where I always keep my phone. TBH I forgot it was in my pocket, but I've had a Blackberry for 2yrs, then a Samsung Focus for 2 yrs, then a 920 for 2yrs, all lived in my front pocket, (left side, no other items in there), never had a breakage of any of them. It's a phone, not a baby, I don't want a device that is in frequent everyday use that requires kid gloves treatment. I would not have picked that particular device myself - it is what the insurance plan company sent me. I should probably have sent it back, but I didn't, and I broke it due to it sliding 4 inches to it's doom. Purely my opinion, but I think manufacturers ought to make their product a little bit more robust than that, especially considering that this particular phone is VERY hard to repair, (due to the glass being glued to the LCD). As a result I have a $600+ item that is slippery as hell, very easily broken, and very expensive to repair. Not a good combination for an everyday use mobile product. And laying under a car is hardly a harsh environment - it's not like I was mountain biking. Plus the 920 had proven to be extremely durable in the several times it fell from tables, got knocked out of my hand by my dog, etc.

Jontyrees I'm not saying its entirely your fault but seeing as how your luck with such things tend to be not that favorable I would personally be more cautious when it comes to it, I do think that companies could put a little more fore taught into the manufacturing devices with a tad more durability, but ultimately the user has a responsible as well. Like I said maybe its just me but I get very edgy when I see people around my personal devices and being careless with it ya know. The handling of your device doesn't have to come down to babying but IMO what ever future device I plan to purchase will be protected with a screen protector and or rugged case, it helps protect your investment and avoid costs to an extent. Just something to think about I guess.

So, if I was to hit download instead of dismiss, it will download the update to my phone but it won't start upgrading it? It will just sit and I won't get bugged by the popup every single day asking me to download it? That would be fantastic... I have been worried one of these days I'd accidentally hit download and it would install 8.1 on my phone.
