    The bad side of customer service will be due to outsourcing, definitely. It's put to India, Pakistan, sometimes France and Italy, although the latter two aren't too bad. Barely any English spoken and they are reading it off a script.

    It works the same here. Threaten with leaving or presenting an official complaint and they sometimes add on some stuff.

  2. Well done.

    Tried the phone yesterday as my brother got his. Very nice to hold and runs like a charm.
  3. I'm still on the fence and a little bit bummed at the lack of announcement as to when 4.4 will hit existing Nexus devices. I would only consider the white N5 but don't like the glossy plastic. Not an easy decision this.
  4. It looks a good bet. It isn't in the same league as the Nexus 5 but will certainly be more than enough for most people and at the price it's at it makes for great value. Camera likely to be mediocre but battery life should be excellent so a fair trade.
  5. My conclussion after having a N8 is that no phone camera will come close to it. If you want to have very decent photos, you definitely need an external camera, be it a compact, a bridge or a DSRL. All phone cameras are always going to be mediocre; I have learnt this since I was stolen my N8. Therefore I don't care anymore, I will use whatever phone's camera for the easy, everyday photos, and forget about it whenever I require better results.

    What I'm wanting now is a slightly bigger phone (maybe not as big as the Moto G, though), and slightly better performing than my current Xperia Ray. I've grown really tired of it, and even though it doesn't have much to complain about, it doesn't have much to praise either. It's just mediocre.
  6. You will get used to the size of a larger phone on about 5 minutes.
  7. Yeah, I guess so. What I'm concerned is with taking it in my trousers as I'm used to, I don't think that's good for bigger phones and I predict lots of scratches and broken screens... Oh well. 3rd world problems I guess. Let's save the money for a new phone and decide which one later.

    Regarding this: photo comparison between the 2 best phone cameras in the market right now (or so they say), Nokia Lumia 1020 and SOny Xperia Z1:

    Pretty impressive but still not enough to make me change my mind.
  9. Trying to do this but I clearly cannot use command prompt.

    http://www.androidbeat.com/2013/11/manually-update-nexus-7-android-4-4-kitkat/

    I have the 'android' folder on my desktop (and in my user directory incase it made this easier).

    What should my command line look like?

    I have C:\Users\Gerardie>

    the android folder is in that directory and my desktop so what comes after '>' in order to complete the command?

    A prize for the person who cracks this
  10. Press

    cd Desktop\\android

    To enter the android directory on your desktop,

    Can help you out on teamviewer if you want, did the same yesterday.
  11. I'd love that. How do we set it up?
