Well, I'm from the Philippines and the lowest price from one of my trusted shops that I saw online is 20,800.00Php.

 

I believe it's $461. Not so sure about that tho.

It doesn't matter how fast you run, there are some demons you just can't escape...

You could try looking on ebay for some good sales every then and now.

WAT, a 5s is extremely small. I can say that, and I have pretty small hands.

I'm using an LG G3. I traded my sister for my iPhone 5S, to be honest I'm kind of regretting it. It's really just a problem with finding a good podcast and messaging app, the battery life, the size, and the camera app. I'm looking to buy a One M9 off contract and changing my phone. I don't have an upgrade till March so I think that's what I'm gonna do. Would this work? http://www.htc.com/us/go/buy-now-htc-one-m9/

Do I need to get the Verizon (My Carrier) version or the unlocked?

Isn't the S5 Sport the Sprint version of the Galaxy S5 Active?

I think you should consider other options.

 

As much as I love HTC, I don't think the M9 is worthy of the "One" moniker. It still retains that legendary build quality and extremely slick software, but ultimately, I think it looks a bit too similar to the One M8 for its own good and the camera is nothing to write home about. As Linus said, "HTC is gonna need another reinvention to stand out against their much stronger competition, than what the One had to work with in the first place".

 

It's not a bad phone. It's a great phone, but I think it's a missed opportunity. The camera software has pretty poor post-processing, battery life seems to be somewhat average despite the 2,840mAh cell powering the device, the HTC black bar remains, which seems like a poor decision as it makes the device bigger than it needs to be and the M9 has overheated during tests thanks to the controversial Snapdragon 810 powering the device. Although an update has been released to address that, it involves heavy throttling, which makes the M9 as fast or sometimes slower than the One M8.

 

Options you should consider include last year's excellent One M8, the impressive Samsung Galaxy S6 (if you don't mind the lack of expandable storage), or the superb LG G4. 

 

Like what I've said, the One M9 is a good phone, but quoting Linus again "The One M9 is just a phone. It's a good phone, and one with an SD card slot if you're into that, but it's just a phone".

I quoted someone who said that 5s is too big and asked them how puny their hands are. You replied so I assumed you were the person who posted that originally.

Currently use a Samsung Galaxy S5. Used an Alcatel One Touch Pop C1 earlier, which one day just stopped booting up. Before that I had a Samsung Slider E2550. That one did it's job well from 2010 onwards and still works. I use it as a back-up phone now.

Moto G 2014 in White.

Though I might have to get a new phone (Either S6 in gold or G4 in Black leather [or maybe a G3 in gold]) if we ended up going to Sprint instead of T-mobile.
