I didn't buy it because it's "the best phone on the market". My attention was drawn to it after the whole Apple vs. Samsung $1B patent verdict. I read some 17 page review on some tech site, I had an upgrade available, and after reading the review (and the biggest incentive was there was a special...sign the contract, no money down)....bit the hook. No I didn't even bother looking at other phones, after reading the review that was good enough for me....and it still is good enough for me. No complaints, no regrets.
