The Digno has been awesome, but since it's made for Japan the signal here really sucks and sometimes calls (even important ones) will randomly not be able to use my microphone, so I have to call back multiple times until it works. It also crashes quite a bit. It's a shame, because I'm sure in Japan it works a hell of a lot better. Still, it's been great compared to my old iPhone lol and quite the conversation starter.
Why not get a separate work phone, or something like the CAT S22? Why did you choose this phone specifically, and stick with it despite all the headaches? Does it offer something the others don't, or is there some other reason?

I don't actually need a phone for work, and I rarely make calls. However, when I do it's usually important. I also wanted a good looking/feeling phone, which the Digno does really well. It's a beautiful little phone.

It's funny, I don't really have a reason I stuck with it despite the issues. I think mainly that I spent like $200 on it. It's also just a joy to use despite the occasional crash or muted call. It works 85% of the time, and that's good enough for me. The biggest thing is that the camera/picture taking experience sucks - something I'm really looking forward to with the LPIII.
