Same here

Was saying calling the iphone crap was kinda complimenting them, for me their build quality is well below crap...there's no reason I need to buy a Teflon bullet proof case for it and it still breaks!!!!!

No case on my HTC one for a year and a few months now and it's only got a few scratches in the many drops.

I'm thinking about picking one of those up. My iphone has been taking a mind of it's own lately, it's so frustrating trying to just pick a playlist to listen to on it....

And every update it gets worst!

The HTC one M8 is amazing, my friend has one, the S5 isn't a bad choice either though. The iPhone seems for old people now (ease of use) and teenage girls that it's more of a fashion statement and know nothing about phones just want only an iPhone.

I realized that after I typed it that my phone was probably still made in china. I really hate the newer iPhones though.

The M8 is nice, I really like it. HTC's Android is quite a bit different than other Android systems, in a good way IMO.
