    Sony Xperia J is a good choice.

    The only disadvantage of Razr I see is non-removable battery.

    Don't shoot me down in flames, but do consider the Nokia Lumia 520/620.

    Since you are not a gamer, there are a couple of really decent advantages to the Lumia range of Windows handsets.

    1. Nokia maps/ Sat Nav. I have tried Android Sat Nav apps. The Nokia maps are instant, just like a Tom Tom, and they don't eat your data. In fact, they worked in Antigua when I had data off.

    2. Excellent speed camera app as well, if you don't want the Nokia Drive one.

    3. Great std camera app. It comes with a 5 best shot burst and you can erase objects you don't want in the shot and, best of all, if you take a group photo, for each subject, you can choose which of the 5 shots is best and use that head shot in the final version. So, to be clear, you can use person 1's shot from photo 3, person 2 from photo 4 person 3 from photo 1 etc and get the best photo.
    4. Battery life is far better than Androids. I can get 3 days.

    I know there are fewer apps with Windows 8 and you tend to use Sky Drive/Outlook rather than Google Drive/ Gmail as standard, but I have Gmail linked to my Outlook mailbox and also use Google Drive and Dropbox.

    So, do give them a try in CPW/O2 shop before deciding.
