I'm not talking about the rubber that makes them tougher. So many manufacturers are putting this very thing coating on the phone to make them grippy. All it really does is get nasty looking from any time you touch it that your hands aren't perfectly clean, and as the phone ages they get this sticky feel to them..
If you want to be on the jobsite, put it in a case. Get any of the otterbox cases for your chosen device, they are hands down the toughest.

And you are continuously comparing apple with a carrier, not with another brand/model phone
personally i have 2 iphones in my cupboard, and nobody at work wants em because A they don't have a flipping keyboard, B they feel to chunky in the hand C don't even work if you don't sign up with an Apple account
But sure, keep ranting about how great they are compared to a "Mobile phone operator"
News flash.
Apple makes phones
AT&T, Spring, t-mobile do not
So to make that comparison.. well.... it's ... how can i put this
dumb.

Stijn, by pointing that out I am saying I am familiar with the other devices on the market. I have played with the top of the heap Android and Blackberry devices. I have configured them for customers. I have fielded customer complaints(many).
As far as service, there are no HTC Stores. If your HTC phone has an issue you take it back to ATT, or call. Either way its a hassle, its a long drawn out process, and you end up feeling shafted in the end. If you have an issue with an apple product, you take it to an APPLE store, and they fix it. No questions asked, they just fix it.
I like Apple, for the same reasons I like Pelican Parts. Quality merchandise, and excellent service. Many times I can find parts cheaper elsewhere, but I buy them here because I know what I'm getting, and that it will be supported after the sale.
If that makes me a fanboy, well then so be it. I feel no need to apologize to you that there are things in life that make me happy, or that things work out well for me. Try not being a grumpy SOB all the time, maybe youd like it.....
