The last phone I had last for more than 2 years was made by Palm.  After that:<p>1) lost the phone.  We think it was left on the roof of my car<p>2) Dropped in toilet.  Did not have removable battery, so it eventually shorted out<p>3) An OTA firmware update bricked it, the device was 2 months out of warranty so the manufacturer refused to fix it, despite their software being what bricked it.<p>I&#x27;m now on a 1st gen Moto X I got used for $100.  I don&#x27;t plan on spending much more than that for a phone ever again.
