I\u2019ve been using the iPhone 4 for 2.5 years (with a 2 week fling with a Nokia Lumia 820). I fancy \u2026 a change. Maybe IOS7 will bring change, and maybe not. I\u2019m not that invested in the platform.<\/p>\n
Samsung Galaxy S4<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s probably the best handset on the market. It\u2019s a pity Samsung put so many cr-apps into the OS that can\u2019t be removed. To make it worse, you can\u2019t move apps to the SD card. Only 16 GB models are available, and only 9 GB of that space is usable. This would be my handset of choice \u2026 but this storage space thing is a concern.<\/p>\n HTC One M7 32 GB<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n This handset has some very good reviews. There\u2019s plenty of capacity. The camera, although low MP, also gets good reviews \u2026 but I use a DSLR for those occasions when I want a good photo Sony Xperia Z<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Some of the guys in the office have and love this one. My concern are the reviews that say the screen doesn\u2019t behave well in bright light or from a slight angle.<\/p>\n Nokia Lumia 920<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n I can\u2019t get an unlocked 925 or 928, so that leaves the 920. I had an 820 for 2 weeks before giving it to a friend. The battery in the 820 was \u2026 poor. The 920 is heavy, but solid. The screen is super. The OS \u2026 is WP8. Hmm. <\/p>\n Basically, I am torn. The safe and boring choice is the iPhone 5. The follow-the-crowd choice is to get the S4. The daring choice is a Lumia 920 or the HTC One M7.<\/p>\n Or \u2026 do I wait until later in the year when Google releases a Samsung S4 with the base Android OS and no cr-apps?<\/p>\n Forgetting plans and contracts, just picking a device is a royal pain in the behind. I\u2019m looking at a bunch of devices, one of which I\u2019d buy next week in New Orleans (factory unlocked): Apple iPhone 5 I\u2019ve been using the iPhone 4 for 2.5 years (with a 2 week fling with a Nokia Lumia … Continue reading “Geez, Buying a Smart Phone is \u2026 Complicated”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[180],"class_list":["post-14574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-phone","tag-hardware"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t![\"Smile\"](\"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/wlEmoticon-smile5.png\")
The UI has some issues apparently.<\/p>\n
