  • I won't buy any phone soon. My current Samsung Galaxy S does pretty much all what all the new phones do.

    If I had no phone then Samsung Galaxy S3 would be my choice.

    I'd never consider an apple phone. Over priced for what it is, you don't know what the apps are doing with your personal info, lack of choice.
    Agree, for the amount of money iPhones cost they need to be the best phone in the world in every way and they just aren't.
    Win mob? No thank you. Microsoft are as untrustworthy as apple.
    Do you consider Google to be trustworthy?

    Not really but I have more control with android. Plus google do seem more honest.

    That may well be true, but did you read their analysis of Nokia's figures?

    They've paid out £742 million in dividends in the last quarter which is a massive chunk of the loss for the quarter. From the link:

    ]

    Dividends are not included in the loss. Both IFRS and non-IFRS (FRS) require that dividends are paid out of reserves rather than profits/losses, so will never be included in the quoted loss for the period.

    As I've said before its Windows Phone for me. I like the fact its different every iPhone looks the same. Never considered android as its laggy.

    Fair enough, I stand corrected.

    I don't think any company is honest

    Google has admitted that it had not deleted users' personal data gathered during surveys for its Street View service.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19014206

    Why hold onto data for so long when asked to delete them by eu as well as USA?

    Where is the honesty?

    If you think Google is a public service you are making a big mistake.
