    I already have a girl and she has a Samsung Galaxy.

    I got a Nokia Lumia 820 on a tariff that was actually cheap than my old HTC Wildfire.

    HTC = Craptastic. Avoid.

    Someone on Facebook asked for advice whether to get the iPhone 4 or 5. Answers were "I have 5 and it's newer, so I think it's better" followed by tonnes of dumb cunts commenting with hearts only. Average Apple consumers.

    I have the exact same phone, I have yet to find something bad about it.

    Oh, WP8 doesn't have apps for Steam, Dropbox and Blogger. Yet.

    I was disappointed by each of these things, in turn, this afternoon. Skydrive sort of makes up for it.

    There will never be Steam for Windows because Gaben hates Windows.

    The front facing camera is actually better than my previous phone from 2011.

    Contracts are mostly for poor people that don't have the money to buy the phone right away. ;)

    There are 3rd party apps for Dropbox. But lack of Steam app really does suck.

    To be honest, Steam for your phone is useless. What are you going to do with it? Tell all your friends you're taking a shit?

    tried the lumia, tried iphone, sticked with android. its openess and adaptability is unbeaten. also there at least one free app for whatever. only thing that sucks a bit is that you need a CC for playstore. i dont want to have a CC so i never bought anything so far - though i actually would want to. im not missing out on anything either, as said there at least is one free app for almost everything imagineable. and if all goes wrong you can still try the "extended demo" by dling an apk.

    For how long? I would imagine that it takes more than a month or two to really use a phone, especially if it runs an unknown OS.

    Oh and I think you meant "stuck."

    It sounds like the people at DPreview thought the One and 920 were very similar in camera performance.

    How many times have I done this after taking my laptop into the toilet? You know this is important information that you have to be informed of.

    I don't see how the guy can claim the iPhone is the best on that first page. Every photo looks like there's a tonne of dust in the air. I can quite easily see how he'd pick any of the other 3 photos as being the best, but the iPhone's look horrible.

    yes spartacus, i only tried them for a week. there was no significant difference in useability - all of them work out from a useability perspective. you have to get used to either one of them but neither takes a somewhat computer literate longer then an hour or two.
    for android its a bit trickier then for iphone (but didnt apple just anounce a budget phone) because there are so many vendors, but if you compair the high end phones with similar pricing there barely isnt much of a difference. its nuances.
    so i dont see any reason to limit myself as much as apple or microsoft would require me to.
    if id have apple at home id get an iphone.
    windows phone is no requirement for windows and android integration into windows is great with apps, you can sync any file you want when you connect to your home network - whyever you would want that actually, i dont sync anything - i have about 20gb of music on my sd card and this will be sufficient for the next years probably.
    all "relevant" data i could save in googles cloud (if i would want that ofc i dont) so there is no big difference either.
    i also can launch any mediafile on my computer to watch it on tv with vlc, i can watch any file i have on any pc on my phone. i could actually RDP to my computer to chance screen settings but i use a wireless mini keyboard for that.
    so why chose closed over open if you for once have a choice? i dont get it ...
