That's exactly how I feel. I'm absolutely overjoyed that I can buy a phenomenal phone--every bit the equal of an iPhone 5S (in my opinion)--for a fraction of the price. And my wife goes through phones so quickly that she's always in need of a new one. But since she's so hard on her phones, she always gets my hand-me-downs. It's a great system. I get the latest and greatest (like the Nexus 5) because I take good care of my electronics, and she still gets a darn good phone (in this case my Nexus 4)...which she'll beat to death in the next 12 months...just in time for me to get the Nexus 6 and pass along my lightly-used Nexus 5. Perfect!

It annoys me that people can't keep their phones in working order, you have paid hundreds of dollars on this piece of equipment and you treat it like a piece of shit and in 6 months you complain that it doesn't work??
Maybe if you had treated it like the delicate piece of machinery that it is it wouldn't have broken.
It's a blatant disregard for money and it annoys me deeply when I see someone throwing their 5 inches of glass on the table without a thought.
I'm sure the phones feelings were taken into consideration though.
