My vote's for the HTC DNA. A little faster data, a lot prettier hardware, a better display, and cheaper than an unlocked Nexus 4. The only hesitation would be HTC Sense, which some people like and some strongly dislike. If you're one of the latter, you can just root it. Read more

NICK READ THE POST IT'S A YELLOW LUMIA. Read more

Amazing. I hope Steve Jobs also answered a lot of questions with questions that repeat the first question. Read more

Seriously! Strong follow-up, you don't see that enough these days. Read more

This was a very good troll nice job. Read more

He speaks the truth! He speaks wisdom! But I'm still waiting to hear how this relates to Iron Man. Read more

Sorry, I meant he needed to read the part of the post where we explain why PPI isn't the only determining factor of a display's quality. The things that are great about the Droid DNA aren't directly attributable to the PPI. Read more

It was "best display" based on specs and first impressions. When we actually tested it against other devices, it was very good but lagged behind the HTC One X and iPhone 5. Read more

Why is this so hard to understand? Apple did it first, TWO YEARS AGO. The iPhone 5 was a quantum leap ahead of other displays, Droid included. It was worth that praise.

Nah, sorry, there's more to life than a spec sheet. This is coming from a guy who owns and loves a Lumia 900, so no bias here. But iOS is so much more polished than Windows Phone, and Apple squeezes more blood from its rocks than anybody. Read more

I was accused last week of being an "Apple hit man," so I don't know what you're talking about. Read more

As long as we can all agree that Florida is a nightmare. Read more

Largely agree with this. I'm not sure I could say quite the same about the people I run into if I drive 40 minutes outside of town. And the state DID just elect a chief justice who ran on a "let's let god decide" platform. Read more
