  1. The 620 is probably the best all round Windows Phone to date. I will buy another as a second phone. I've tried to stick with Wimdows Phone on half a dozen occasions but each time come up with a show stopper that is most likely specific to me. There is still a market for premium Windows Phone devices to. The 8x I tried felt a million dollars and the higher resolution screen really does add an extra dimension. But until these little niggles are ironed out I just can't use it full time which is a real shame because android is very bland.

    The 620 with the lime rear cover is a bloody classic though.
  2. I had the Nokia 710 while my Nexus 4 was getting repaired for a week and I must say it was extremely impressive. Never stepped a foot wrong.
  3. I shall have a Nexus 4 by the end of the month. Hoping the nice hardware will mask the blandness of Android. Will need to get a nice case for it too.
  4. You can get a bumper for it which only protects the border of the phone for around £8 on eBay. It's the official one for the phone made by Google. It's already saved my ass once. Saying that, the bottom bit of mine has split already. It will still protect the phone, it just doesn't look good.
  5. Usually not a fan of bumpers. I find they can make a phone difficult to hold due to the recessed back. Only ever used one on an iPhone though. Will have a good look around first. Nexus 5 probably won't interest me much if the dimensions are any larger.
  6. Will pick up the N7 in the afternoon now, already payed for it so now I have too .

    Edit: just got the pick up message, I am off
  7. How do you guys all afford to always upgrade technology so often?! Is it cheap over there in Europe? It's expensive as for technology over here, so I don't know many people who upgrade more than once a year or two.

    I have one contract. Usually lasts 2 years. If wanting to try something new I sell the phone and use that money to buy a new one and so on and so on.

    Do make sure to post your initial impressions.

    We usually joke with Gerard (germcevoy) that he changes phones more often than some people change underwear His phone switching rate is not that common, at least I don't know anyone else who has one new phone per month (approx.), here in Spain it's more like you say, changing once per year more or less.
  11. I change phones every two years. I'm happy to pay £250 for the phone and then have a very cheap contract with Three. But it depends, if the new Nexus 4 (or 5, which someone who I know works quite high up in the tech business says will be called a Nexus 5) is a superb upgrade, I'll buy it. It happened for me with the Nexus 7 - couldn't resist.

    In terms of tablets, I own three. Two Nexus 7's (old and new) and an Archos 80 Cobalt, which is pretty hideous but I got it for £45 at the time.
  12. Indications are that the Nexus 5 should be slightly smaller than the 4. Likely plastic though and with the 4 priced as it is I think I'll stick with that.
