My current phone, a Windows phone surprisingly, I got for $50. And I'm used to dealing with low-end Android phones who crap out after half a year or so and get bogged down and experience huge slowdown and stuff. And I've had this thing for a few months and no sign of slow-down. It's an extremely well designed operating system by comparison that scales down really well. It may not have the horse power of some better phones, but it is by far not a slouch. I've spent way more on way worse phones over the years. It's ridiculous fast and stable for all the abuse I put it through. It's so nice to receive phone calls and actually be able to answer them without my phone having a hissy fit and freezing for too long and making me miss the calls. I can actually answer the phone. Somehow my last 2 or 3 phones forgot that was an integral part of their existence... Now if only people would make apps for Windows phones I'd be golden. But once I make enough money I am definitely upgrading to a higher tier of Windows phone for better game performance. But I've completely turned my back on Android for this ridiculousness. And I'll never be able to justify the price for iPhone. So I guess for the foreseeable future, I am obligated to be a Windows phone fanboy. How weird. Definitely a worthwhile $50 though
