I have got a
Sony Xperia U (I don't have a contract so I can't afford phones worth 500 bucks). Some of the Xperia phones are almost on par with the HTC One with their recent models. Damn good phones in that range. Mine is just one of the cheaper ones, though.
I have almost all of the colours (battery covers and the little bar at the bottom).
However, I have been given a
Galaxy Note 2 which I'll be using once I get a micro sim for it.
