    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...

    It's an OO world.

    public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
    {
    public void DoWork()
    {
    throw new NotSupportedException();
    }
    }

        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'm hoping it is; my current one has a blown motivator.

                        Google decided to stop supporting Windows Sync (or whatever it's called) last year. I have Windows 7.8 (I believe) and my Gmail account that I set up about two years ago worked without any problems. It synced mail as soon as I got it, it would delete mails on the server if I deleted them on my phone, it would mark mails as read when I read them, etc. I set up a new account and it does none of that... It doesn't sync contacts at all and the best I can do with email is to check once every 15 mins, I receive sent mail in my inbox, when I delete them on my phone it doesn't delete them on the server etc. I don't use a calendar, but I know that won't sync either. I believe it would work on Windows 8.1 and probably also on 10, but I don't think Windows will catch up (any time soon) with the amount of apps that are available for Android any time soon. iPhone would've been a good go too if it weren't made and priced by Apple ;)

                              My wife had a Samsung Stratosphere (?) that went wonky after two years, then got an S4 Mini a few months back and it's started acting strange as well. (Possible user error -- she uses it for Facebook.)

                                    Google decided to stop supporting Windows Sync (or whatever it's called) last year. I have Windows 7.8 (I believe) and my Gmail account that I set up about two years ago worked without any problems. It synced mail as soon as I got it, it would delete mails on the server if I deleted them on my phone, it would mark mails as read when I read them, etc. I set up a new account and it does none of that... It doesn't sync contacts at all and the best I can do with email is to check once every 15 mins, I receive sent mail in my inbox, when I delete them on my phone it doesn't delete them on the server etc. I don't use a calendar, but I know that won't sync either. I believe it would work on Windows 8.1 and probably also on 10, but I don't think Windows will catch up (any time soon) with the amount of apps that are available for Android any time soon. iPhone would've been a good go too if it weren't made and priced by Apple ;)

                                    Ah you mean that, yeah I noticed that as well but I guess it doesn't really bother me that much. It does sync (almost) instantly with my surface rt tho.

                                      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...

                                      If you like the big screens then the Note 4 is nice. I upgraded from a note 1 :-O

                                        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
