I am now eligible for upgrade. I'm torn between S4 and iPhone 5.  On the one hand, all my previous smartphones were Android smartphones, and S4 seems to have superior specs by quite a margin.  On the other hand, owning iPad made me appreciate the advantages of Apple's closed system.  Android feels like it's in permanent beta stage, and about as secure as a Russian pirate torrent.

Any thoughts?

I bought my current phone on Amazon. The reviews said 'This phone is great. I don't buy into all that new fangled smartphone bullshit. I just need a phone that calls and texts.'

I've already had two smartphones, so I don't need bullshit to know what they can do.  I can go back to dumb phones, but why the fuck would I want to?

I love my S4.  Get an S4.  Don't be a homo and get an Apple.

Don't anger me.

I have the S3, and love it, and I understand the S4 is The Awesome. Apple sucks.

Oh, and BTW, I upgraded to the S3 for $0.01, yes, a penny.

You're supposed to rebel against your parents when you hit 30, not seek their approval.

You're supposed to rebel against your parents in your teens. By late 20s, you're supposed to start recognizing that your parents told you a lot of correct shit (provided of course that they actually were worthwhile and raised you up right).

  Oh.
