It lasted a month. In a freak accident I managed to shut it the car door. :( | |

I think I will get two days out of it. I charged it yesterday and it still has half left. It has this nifty battery saver shit you can set up to come on that kicks in when it gets to a certain level. | |

Whats the real world battery life like Phil? My Nexus 4, with low to medium usage realistically needs charging every night, although I have it on a NFC charger at work so it isnt too much of a pain | |

Got it. Very pleased. Good quality phone and love the WP8 and live tiles! Seems like an absolute bargain compared to extortionate iPhone contracts I've had previously. | |

Got a Samsung Galaxy S3 free phone on Orange (24 Months) | |

quote: It might be worth looking around as the phone is £125 (Phone4U; or £150 on Amazon) sim-free and if you're not a heavy user you could opt for a GiffGaff or Ovivo (£20 up front, free there after - READ HERE) tariff. Either way, it's a decent phone :cool: | |

quote: Tariff was something 100 minutes unlimited text and 250mb of data on O2 with a free handset. I expect others would want more but I only use my mobile a few times a week nowadays anyway, so it will be enough for me. | |

The difference is those 'older devices' are 50% of Googles userbase and around 3% of Apples. | |

4.3 was made to run much faster on even older devices. That's a pretty big change, one that apple certainly aren't interested in. | |

My next phone is going to be a Windows one, been on Android since the HTC Desire and while my Nexus is good value for money I fancy a change. | |

I agree about the point notations, just seems Google have been focusing on sorting out fragmentation for so long (and quite rightly so) that the OS has gone a bit stale. I haven't see anything particularly exciting from them with regards to android in a while. | |

Phil, WP8 is brilliant so you won't have issues there. quote: Not to derail this thread but can you expand on this? It'd make no difference if KitKat was given 5.0 as there is little logic in versioing - there's nothing stopping developers using minor revision version numbers to denote complete overhauls and visa versa with major version numbers (just look at iOS - little changed between 3.0-6.* and that's 3/4 years, longer if you take in to account UI). | |

I'd like to see windows phone do well this year and I've a feeling it will. People are bored of iOS even with its re-design and Android's been stale for a while (stuck at 4. for over 2 years and KitKat brings more of the same). | |

I recently switched from an iPhone 5 to a Nokia Lumia 920 - as far as I'm concerned it's the best phone I've ever had. | |

I have a 610, cheap as chips, has all the shit I need. Bought it outright and have an £8 a month sim only deal. Well pleased with it. Gone from a £30+ a month contract to a cheaper better deal. | |

I've got an 820, had it 9 months now, really happy with it. Enough apps to keep most happy, works smoothly all the time, very few crashes to speak of. | |

Due to increased amounts of being dragged into town on a Saturday by the missus, I decided I wanted a cheap smartphone to keep tabs on the football scores and make a few calls/texts each day through the week. I have a landline and iPad I use most of the time, so don't want this to be a big bill. |
