I do notice though that the ones that people zombie with on the buses or trains are very thin compared to mine ( not really worried ). So the question is how reliable are these esp these ultra thin ones. So an informal poll how long your have lasted and why it failed.
My current phone is two years old and working well, my old phone is 4 years old and that still works well too (despite Ms Kwackers having it).
In work there are dozens of assorted ones and I'm not aware of any failing.
Usually if you charge them regularly, don't run them beyond flat, don't flush them down the loo or drop them onto something hard then they seem pretty reliable.
