Out of all the Androids phones I sell from my 3 Shop/Labs I believe that the HTC is the best ( never comes back to my Labs ) Galaxy is the worst the charging port keeps breaking loose and need soldering all the time also Samsung Galaxy is a total magnet for Viruses, the iPhones never come back unless it's for a broken screen or for water damage treatment.

People used liquipel to have their phones resist to water damage, plus the days will really be over once sapphire for iPhone has been released and made.

Whatever happened to Symbian OS and its market share?

I have an old Symbian phone and it is terrible. It has a 'force touch' screen which over time has collapsed as it is plastic, not glass. It doesn't have wifi and the charging connector is poor quality.
