    New phone suggestions

    So I'm up for an upgrade on my phone in a few weeks. Currently I have a droid Razr and I have thoroughly enjoyed it once I figured out how to make the battery last most of the day. lately it's been starting to glitch on me - gyro not recognizing turning of the phone, ringtones changing back to defaults, navigation quitting, so I think I've finally talked myself into moving forward with the upgrade.

    Back to the reason for the post: I'm looking at the Galaxy S4, but I'm not sure I want something that big. Any other phones you'd recommend? No iPhones please, I have to carry one of these for work already.

    Thanks!

          I know you say an S4 is big, but I went from a Droid Razr to a S4 with zero regrets. Sure the size is a little bit bigger than before but I got used to it real fast. The screen is great, it runs fantastic, and gives me zero problems compared to my Razr.

                Just traded my iPhone 4s for a Galaxy S4 day before yesterday. I find the larger screen, the larger 'keyboard' and the camera on the S4 much better than the iPhone 4s. Plus you can increase storage capacity.

                Even though the S4 is longer and wider than the iPhone, it fits fine in my front pocket with the Otter case.

                    I have a droid maxx. Goes almost 2 days on a charge has great reception and is running kitkat. Pure android experience and active notifications are so much better then a flashing led. If you want yo go Samsung wait till April for the S5.

                      the galaxy s4 looks big until you use it for a few days. it doesnt feel large in your pocket because its thin.

                      its quick, and fairly inexpensive these days with a contract.

                          iphone 4s to galaxy s3 and now the note 3. absolutely love it. only times its too big is trying to put it in a cupholder in the car... but it usually fits.

                          i actually have a note 3 and a iphone 5s (for work).

                          i used to be a die hard iphone guy, but i barely touch mine now... its so boring and small.

                              Boss has an HTC and hates it. Was considering and now off the list. S4 I've heard good things about except for all the extra crap SS loaded onto it and it's somewhat fragile from what I've heard. Droid maxx i think has the long battery life but is a bit behind on tech. I'm in the same conundrum and still looking. The note 2 might be a good alternative and then you might wait until the S5 is out. Should make the S4 cheaper.
