It's the strangest thing that you picked this topic this week because I also am in need of a new phone. I used to really enjoy the anticipation and the thrill of reading reviews and watching videos, but now I'm strangely unwilling to even think about it. My guess is that buying a new device has become ordinary, more like a chore than a treat. Not sure how I feel about this at all.

In my experience, the trick is to identify the one thing you want most from a phone + a budget, and then things get easier. TOO MANY CHOICES these days makes it more of a chore, but I do sneakily love the research period also because I am a nerd.
