Mobile phone

[Shauny]

I'm currently using the iPhone 4s, had iPhones for a while now and love them apart from having to charge it so often it might as well be a landline.

Anyway I'm due an upgrade soon so had a look in the shops today. I'm considering the Samsung note 3, HTC One or stick with what I'm used to and get the iPhone 5.

Quite like the idea of having the vbar app, anyone using it on any of these? (I know not the iPhone)

Would appreciate any thoughts you have on these or others phones to consider.

Thanks

Latest iPhone iOS is a dogs dinner. I'll be moving away from apple next time I change. I don't like that I can't go back an earlier iOS.

What's different other than the icon images? One thing I really like about the iPhone is the voicemail where you can easily scroll to whatever message you want without having to listen to all previous messages.

It's really just the GUI that I have a problem with. I don't use it, so can't comment too much. My wife has it on her phone and seems to get by.

The HTC one is an awesome phone however the new one is due fairly soon.

If you fancy saving some money the motog is a great phone excellent battery life too apparently.

No phone will get more that 4hrs screen on time so if you are a heavy user you might want to consider something like a nexus 7 which when paired with a motog is still cheaper than a HTC one!

Thank you Ade I'll have a look at the Nexus 7

The 7 isnt a phone so you need both ☺ moto g + nexus 7 is a good buy for heavy use.

I like the nexus 5 for a phone myself

So it's listed then? Coz I hate haveing to call voicemail and going through every message stored on your phone until you get to the one you want

Shauny, have a look at the Galaxy S4, it runs anything I chuck at it. It would be a bit of culture shock from the iPhone though!

Thanks yea just had a look at that, looks like a scaled down version of the note 3, how do you think the play store compares to the apple app store?

Yup its a list. Also shows missed calls that you wouldn't see on a phone if you are out of signal and gives buttons for play/pause call back etc

There is a greater choice of app to do a similar job but the quality can be inconsistent.

Android is a lot more customisable so you can use different home screen apps (launchers) lock screen apps, keyboards.

I've had the HTC One & gone back to iPhone 5S, HTC has great sound with beats audio, only issue I had was with apps, our provider in IOM isn't recognized by google play store for being in UK so can't purchase apps without going down VPN route, that was my only gripe with it good apart from that.
