I'm looking to switch from Verizon to AT&T. I keep coming back to the 925, as I am sick of Android, and would like a good phone on the cheap. Reading through the bugs section, and some other sites, some of my concerns about the phone are.
1. Overheating
It does get very hot. Depends what you're doing though, games make it sweat, so do few other apps.
2. Low Signal Strength
I can't really say, that depends more on the carrier signal. I only lose my signal in certain spots like elevators and basements, and not all of them either.
3. Phone locking up
I don't understand what you mean by that
I realize a lot of people only post in forums when they have problems, but I'm wondering if most of you have issues, or is it just a few? Would you guys buy the phone again, or are you hoping to get rid of the phone as soon as possible? Thanks in advance for any help...
I really like the 925, now I wouldn't buy it again, because theres new stuff incoming (930), OR I'd get it, because the price would probably drop. If I would time-travel back to October when I got it, I'd probably get it again, or I'd wait another month because that's when my carrier offered 1020 with extra discount. However, I played with 1020 last week a little and I liked the camera colors of my 925 more, 1020 seemed to make yellowish pics (indoors, poor lightning, I didn't try outdoors). So yes, there's a 99% chance I'd get the 925 again. The only thing missing for me is more memory (16GB of which 12,4GB is user accessible is not enough, but it really depends what kind of apps you use on it - 1GB games will quickly fill up the storage).
If it had wireless charging built in, then I'd also get the charger, however I don't feel like having the extra (expensive) shell on all the time and pay extra for a charger too (around 50? for wireless charging doesn't seem worth it for me).
One specific thing I really like about 925 is charging port on top. It's awesome, I don't ever want a phone with charging port on the bottom again. I like to keep my devices in little carton stands I make myself, and having charging port on top (or sides would work as well) means I just plop the cable in, and it's charging, and it's still in the stand. And because I have wires coming from the top of my desk, I can play with the phone while charging it and cables don't get in the way. And the headphone jack is right next to it, which makes cable management nice and easy, because both cables are in the same spot, could be useful in the car, where every extra wire can quickly get in the way.
