Need a new phone...
-
Any recommendations? All I know is that I want an Android phone with an okay camera (at least 8 megapixel) and not to expensive (which is subjective, of course). I'm not very gadget savvy and all these phones are making my head spin... Samsung, LG, Huawei, HTC, Motorola, Acer... :wtf: Of course I'd rather just buy Nokia, but I've had it with Windows Phone. It looks nice, it works well, but it doesn't have the apps I want and Google's decision to not support synching on Windows Phone has made it pretty useless for me...

}this kind of stuff does my head in as well but I bit the bullet and ordered a upgrade contract with a sony xperia Z3 yesterday my decision was based on battery life, camera quality, dust/water proof and commitment from sony to upgrade to Lollipop next year (I was so pissed upset at HTC that they never updated my HD2 from windows 6.5) oh and the fact that the Z3 apparently MAKES PHONE CALLS as well. Who knew you could do that away from the house of course it may all turn out to be pies in the sky but at least I am happy waiting for it to arrive Now all I need is for the indoors signal where I live to be upgraded past intermittent GPRS and I will be able to use it as well

Looking pretty good. Compared it to the S4 and I might even go for that one... As it seems everything is better than my current phone though (Nokia Lumia 800) :laugh:

I understand your frustration. You're stuck with windows phone 7, as I was (Lumia 900) and I can assure you that you would be pleased with Windows 8 phones (I currently own a Lumia 920). There are many (really, many) more apps and they are much better; the OS is much better. There are very cheap choices of windows phone. The Lumia 920 itself is very cheap now (as the current flagship is the 930) and the camera is great. Is there any app in particular you think you won't find in windows 8?

The apps everyone knows about aren't the problem. Sure they all have Whatsapp (basically the only app I use), and probably some other apps I like, like IMDb app, Dilbert app, 9GAG app... It's the small apps, like a few weeks back when I was going for a walk. There was an app for walking routes in that area, but it was only available for iPhone and Android. It's those kind of apps that I'm missing on Windows Phone, simply because the smaller niche market isn't focusing on Windows Phone.

Try the Motorola G 2nd generation. 5 inch screen, dual sims and you can add an micro SD card up to 32Gb. All for £144 quid from Amazon in the UK.
Why would I want dual sim?

I would second the OnePlus One Had mine a few months, outperforms most other flagship phones for less than 1/2 the price. Was a bit hard to get hold of, not sure how easy now but worth the effort.

Because my dear Sir, it's a really good phone for the money! ;P http://www.amazon.co.uk/Motorola-5-Inch-SIM-Free-Smartphone-XT1068-Black/dp/B00NBSZ56C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413988847&sr=8-1&keywords=moto+g+2014[^]
It's camera is only 5 megapixel. I want at least 8. So that's a no :)

It seems a little... Alternative... Probably not my thing. I want to make phone calls and I'm not even sure this thing can handle it, despite it's beautiful layout.

Really, do they advertise? I haven't noticed since I have adblock on my PC and I never got an ad on my phone either. All I know is they have the best search engine around (Bing isn't even close!), they have a pretty sweet free email service, they have a pretty good browser that does everything I expect from a browser and they are the biggest player in the mobile phone market. Am I concerned about privacy? They're probably not as bad as Facebook (what I don't have)... The alternative is Apple (iPhone, Safari, do they have a search engine and email service?), but I'm not an iDiot who buys mediocre overpriced stuff because it has some brand. And then there's Microsoft, but as said I've had it with my Windows Phone, Bing and IE suck, I'm not sure they take my privacy any more serious than Google, and Outlook is pretty nice, but doesn't offer some of the features I like about Gmail. Other tech giants like Facebook or Amazon don't offer phones, search engines, free email, a browser... At least not that I know of. So yeah, I decided to just switch to Google... To bad there isn't much in terms of alternatives.

}What do you expect for 142 quid! It's a bargain. Anyway, let's get real about this, if the phone doesn't have decent optics, it don't matter squat how many pixels it's got, it'll still produce a crap image. How you can tell whether a phone has good optics? - now there's a question - wish I knew!

I somehow assume that if a phone has many megapixels it can produce good photo's. One thing is for sure, if the camera sucks the pictures will suck :D

I've just looked on Motorola's website and their rear facing camera is 8M pixel, so not sure where you got the idea it was 5. http://www.motorola.com/us/Moto-G-2nd-Gen/moto-g-2nd-gen-pdp.html[^]
Found it on a Dutch compare website... Perhaps I read it wrong? Anyway, I went for the Samsung Galaxy S4. A bit more expensive than I had in mind, but it's a nice phone :)
