The previous three phones I replaced were because:

  • Fell off a shelf and shattered to the point of unusability
  • Stopped turning on
  • I wanted to try Graphene, but wanted a fall back if I broke something (after becoming confident Graphene would meet almost all my needs, I ended up sending the backup phone to a friend, so it didn't go to waste)
