The choices for no-contract phones have been getting really good lately;

Kyocera Hydro Wave ($39-$149):
- waterproof.
- 5-inch display, unfortunately resolution is only qHD (960 X 540, 220 ppi pixel density)
- 5MP rear-facing camera, 2MP front-facing



Microsoft Lumia 640 ($39 -$79):
- 5-inch display, 720p resolution (1280 X 720, 294 ppi pixel density)
- 8MP rear-facing camera, 1MP front-facing
- NFC support
- XL version (5.7-inch screen size) available for $250.
- unfortunately it only runs Windows.



2015 Motorola Moto G ($179):

- waterproof
- 5-inch display (720p resolution, 1280 X 720, 294 ppi pixel density)
- 13MP rear-facing camera, 5MP front-facing
- front-facing speakers (why don't more companies make them like that?!)
- I want me one of them!

Dang Motorola went big time on the camera resolution.

It seems like waterproof phones are becoming more common, great must-have feature. I remember even the current iPhone was rumored to be waterproof before it came out.

It's funny how everyone in the new Mission: Impossible movie uses Nokia Windows phones, hardly anyone I know does.

And by the way, the Microsoft 640 XL also upgrades the resolutions to 13 and 5 MP for rear and front cameras respectively.

I'm still using Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE but I'm going to change it in a few months.

I've been using the MS Lumia 640 for about a month. Absolutely love it. The MS stuff is great: Office, email, OneDrive integration, the music app, the MS News and Sports apps, the phone app. However, the app store for 3rd parties is a graveyard.

It's sad because I think that with Windows 10, Office 365 and the Surface tablets/Lumia phones, Microsoft has really reset the high water mark for usability and just desirable GUI and hardware.

Still on the iPhone 4! It's slow, but still works and only need a recharge every 24 hours with normal use (last longer if used only as a phone/texting device). What can I say.. the longer I've kept it the more pointless it seems to waste money (and the environment) on a new phone. My goal is to keep it going until the iPhone 7 is here. By then I suspect the number of apps that don't support iOS7 anymore will be the end of it.

I agree - I've got a Lumia 735 and a Surface Book - couldn't be happier with the devices and the OS integration. The next wave of WindowsPhone (supposedly going to be branded 'Surface' phones) will have the final, full Windows10 integration so they should be pretty kick-ass.

I love Android phones. 'm looking forward to new Nokia phone with Android. Hope it won't disappoint me like Lumia. OMG i love my old Nokia bricks so much.

Im using the ZTE Axon 7 on AT&T although I believe it works with Verizon too. If you're interested in buying out of a plan, it is a great phone with very good (high end competitive) specs. You will not find it included in any plan. It is only sold unlocked at $400. Look into it, I love it.

I have an iPhone 6 and will probably stick with Apple especially since they are now integrating decent cameras.
The combination of software and hardware reliability with large content availability and a good camera is the most important for me.
One Plus is another phone I would consider if I had to choose - they are pretty good though a bit less reliable.

I'm using blackberry passport. It's not supported anymore, but it's not a big deal with me. I'm using it just for basic needs and i love it's manly style!
