this is good to know. I had a HTC for work once, thought it was shit, but I’m sure they’re better the higher up the model range you go.
my iPhone 4S has been giving me the shits lately, namely the wifi ‘greying out’ & dropping in/out regularly, as well as smashing battery life recently. the ‘greying out’ issue is all over the Internet, I’ve been pretty lucky it would seem.
Iphone 4 user here. Never had a single drama with it. That said, if/when it dies I wouldn’t mind trying a massive almost-tablet-size-phone. I use my phone as a phone about once a week if that, so I kinda want the biggest thing that will fit in my jeans pocket for the biggest screen experience I can get.
Anyone here have a Fonepad?
Edit: actually, ignore the fonepad question. On looking at it again I remembered that I’ve decided that it’s a bit of a dog.
Same here, current 4S and previous 3 never an issue BUT my little siss went through four 4’s in three months on warranty - go figure. I do wonder how an identical product can be so inconsistent? It’s not like their made in china, oh wait…
I need something good for web surfing as we have no net in the house, I kinda swore of nokias after the N91 but a mate has the 920 and raves about it.
I would love to go prepaid but can’t imagine a time I’d have the cash for an outright smartphone.
Going tonight, pretty set on an S4.
Thanks for the help guys.
If you want to go prepaid you can’t beat the $399 outright for a phone that competes on almost every level with anything else (would only be made better with an SD slot, but I’ve never had a problem, and I only have the 8 gig version).
Also have a Nexus 7 tablet, happy with both. (And clean android rocks, and getting updates first!)
Just bought a Sony Xperia ZR. 4G, removable battery, micro SD, 720p screen, waterproof, decent 13mp camera, unlockable bootloader for using custom roms when the developing community on XDA fires up. I’m a bit of an Android geek and buy phones very rarely, when a good thing comes around (been on a Samsung Galaxy 1 for ages, works fine – still one of the best development communities on XDA). This is the most sensible phone I’ve seen in a while. Slight compromises are front camera, 8gb internal storage (just use an app to sd app and put a 64GB micro SD in the phone) and 720p screen, but on this size phone you probably ain’t gonna tell the difference between 1080p. Take calls and film in HD while you have a shower. Hi mum.
hahaha, i haven’t seen the tv ads i don’t think. funnily enough, my housemate gets all angry about apple’s latest tv ads. he’s not a fan of apple.
don’t get me wrong, it’s still an ad for a phone company, i just thought it was clever that they’re ripping apple’s 'i’everything. caught my eye anyway, but possibly only because i’ve been thinkin about a galaxy anyway.
