Just wanted to remind people that are looking for advice, of the following:
One thing I tend to notice, is that people do come to forums to get advice and recommendations on phones, or whatever the item of choice is. But many people forget that a lot of people post problems, but far fewer post success stories. Granted, people that do post problems will get people to respond with happier issues sometimes, but on average, you're far more likely to get more negative posts, than positive. And also keep in mind that on some things, that amount of negative posts, is a pretty small overall percentage. But people by nature will tend to complain more publicly, than they will tout something positive. Far more likely to hear "this thing sucks, it doesn't work how I want it, it doesn't look red, the food isn't that great" from people, than to hear someone randomly post "The food here was great.".
So just keep that in mind, that while knowing about potential problems, issues, etc, with whatever item you are looking for, also consider the overall picture too, and try to guage the percentage, but also what solutions and how effective they are, should a problem arise.
And remember, just because someone isn't happy with that shade of red, or the taste of the ham, or that they wished the battery was better, doesn't mean it might not be just what you're looking for.
