gollark: No, it's been 2 years or so.
gollark: They get them on monthly plans, I generally (have my parents) buy phones, then have to replace them every 1.5-2 years when they randomly fail in some way, probably because I horribly mistreat them?
gollark: My brother has a Nokia phone and my other brother has a Samsung one, both of which they somehow kept for way longer than me.
gollark: I mean, I generally don't think buying phones based only on *brand* is very smart.
gollark: I've *maybe* made a decision I'm maybe satisfied with, but I haven't actually gone through with it because I remain unsure.
