Well i've finally realised that when it comes to smartphones i am a Apple man through and through.
After owning a iphone 4 for 2 years i sold it last September to make way for the iphone 5. However when that turned up i t came with a dint, a faulty cable and the fact i was going to have to fork out £988 over a 2 year contract. The iphone 5 was sent back and the search began for a new smartphone.
First up was the Nokia Lumia 800 on giffgaff, it took a while to get used to the operating system and the fact i run a imac and ipad took some getting used to with the softwares differences. A lack of apps and a poor camera also made me realise that i missed the app store and the simplicity of the plug in and download from itunes etc.
The final straw was the fact that Nokia would not be updating the software due to WP 8 coming out, that was it it was sold.
Next up is the Samsung Galaxy S3, now i've had this phone for 8 weeks now and yesterday i sold it, reasons are too much bloatware on the phone, didn't want to root it, plastic back made it look and feel a bit cheap. Then there was the issues of trying to work out how to make the battery last more than a day with barely any usage, setting up your screens, apps and widgets, camera was over complicated and finally it was just too complicated for me to work.
I did actually place a order for a Google Nexus 4 yesterday but have cancelled it due to it being too much like the S3 system.
I've finally realised i was most happy with my closed system on the iphone 4 it did everything i wanted and i knew how to work it lol. So as of today i have just purchased a new iphone 5 to run on giffgaff for £400 and back i go.
Android, Windows thanks for the memories but its Apple only for me....
