Using the Note 3 for work and M8 for personal use. Very happy with this setup. Don't imagine I'll have any reason to buy anything else until the Note 4 comes out.
Now I need to turn my attention to switching my girlfriend to the dark side by getting her to use her upcoming upgrade to ditch the iPhone for Android! I'm hoping I can convince her to get the Xperia Z2, mainly because I want to play with it.

Blackberry Z10, great phone excluding the unfortunate stock battery life. Good thing it was removable.
Note 2.
Last time you asked I was still flipping back and forth between my Note 2 and old iP4s, because I'd get frustrated with the Note now and then. Since then I've found a new way to set up my Note (no root) and now I've no need to switch between them.
Most likely getting the Note 4 in the fall. Unless a phone with an equally large screen + pure Android comes out, because that is what I'd want most of all.

Just got an LG G2 from AT&T for free. This is the best Android phone I've tried by far. Great battery life, great camera (OIS and 1080/60fps videos), excellent performance absolutely no hiccup or stutter anywhere. Love all the LG add ons that are in quite useful. IMO stock Android is overrated and boring compared to this, actually the LG skin is more customizable than stock - custom sort your app drawer, or how about changing the front touch buttons? I added a button to slide down the notification drawer instead of having to grab and slide from the top of the screen. Having a sharp, bright, and big 5.2" screen in a smallish chassis is icing on the cake.
I played with the Samsung S5 next to the G2. While both are plastic, the LG feels much more solid and is more pleasant to hold than the Samsung. And I'm surprised this isn't a big complaint, all the Samsung display phones with AMOLED had serious screen burn in. It's a shame though Samsung will still sell like ten S5 for ever one G2 LG sells.
Also handled a dummy HTC One M8. The build quality feels every bit as nice as my iPhone 5s. I probably wouldn't have been able to resist had HTC improved the camera just even a tiny bit. I'm not a megapixel junkie, but that 4MP sensor on the One is 16:9, so you really only have a 2MP camera once you crop out the sides. I had the M7 last year. Daytime photo quality is absolutely horrible.
Still, for now, the iPhone 5s is still my daily driver.

Right now I'm using a 5s. My sister is using my S4 until the S5 comes out. Once I get it back I'm going to sell it and probably pick up a dev edition m8.
GS4 GPE (with newly received GS4 Black Edition back cover - note 3 style cover) feels like a new phone

Well, I'm still using my old Galaxy S2. Bigger battery fitted and working just fine.
Add that to my original iPad which is still working perfectly, and in pristine condition, and you can see that I do not live at the cutting edge of technology!
Both devices do what I need so I can see no reason whatsoever to upgrade.

Nothing wrong with that at all. I tend to run my devices until I can't use them anymore due to an issue or the device just breaks.
I'm still using the Moto G 16gb alongside my iPhone 4s.
Unlocked the Moto G bootloader last night so I've been tinkering with it for now.
Still amazed by the phone for the price.

Yeah, if the camera had not broken on my S2, I'd still be using it too.
I'm using an iPhone 5S at the moment and will be until it gives up. I still have my Lumia 520 kicking about though, and the S2.
