I've got a 4 here that I'm going to gift to someone with little technical knowledge and I want to put on the necessities before handing it over. So far I have skype, the on demand tv channels and that's pretty much it.

Grindr is a must for you

Captain

Yes, feeds all of my urges.

S4 is launched today, for me don't really have the wow factor yet.

Still prefer HTC One, although s4 specs are better. Xperia Z is losing the battle.

It allows you to scroll up and days by moving your eyes up and down and it pauses videos when you look away.
So I hear.
Has a faster processor and a higher res screen than the i Phone 5 too.
It's a bit of a buster size wize though

Like the eye thing. If it works...

Xperia Z is dropping in price rapidly they got it out before the rival S4 and iphone5 and its a lesser phone but its 25euro a month on some contracts which is pretty sweet. Had an xperia before tho and it was buggy as hell none of the updates ever stopped the phone crashing frequently.

Has anyone got a Windows 8 phone with gmail and Google calendar ? I know Google made it difficult for the 2 to work together but does anyone know how difficult ? I fancy a windows phone purely for the change.

busted me pocket money and bought meself an xperia z after the wifey lost my previous phone. Expensive as all fuck.

Will let yous know how good it is after a coupla weeks with it.

On the topic of Whatsapp, it may not stay independent for long.

Don't know if this is really the proper thread but I'll ask it in here anyway;
How do you feel about Google Glass?

Pros:
It looks really cool and I want them!
Take pics/vids without having to 'do' anything. Neat.
Share the vid/pic right away, again, without having to 'do' something. Noice!
Share what you see, live. Supercool!
Translates your voice, should you wish. Handy.
Send a message via voice control. Excellent!
Get directions right in front of you. Useful both when walking and driving I imagine.
Have the Google search by just speaking. Great!

Cons:
Am I going to be subjected to having people filming me without my knowledge EVERYWHERE?! What if this catches on and every fifth person is wearing them?
How much info do I really want Google to have about me, to then sell it on to specific companies? They already know where I am all the time and what kinds of sites I visit online - but do I really want them to know what food I like, what exactly I buy in the supermarket, what specific things I watch in shop windows?
What am I to think when talking to someone wearing them? What are they going to think if I wear them? Are we really talking, or is one of us reading his e-mails as we speak? Am I being recorded?! Is this a private conversation or are you sharing it?!
How long until you get Google glass integrated into real glasses and you can hardly even detect that someone is wearing them?

I am somewhat torn here! Preferably, I'd have them and no one else...

Getting an S4. Unlimited mins, texts, 2gb 4G data for £24 a month, phone cost £70.

The question is do I sell the phone for £500 and keep my 4S, or do I keep the S4?

The wife tells me to go for the money, the little boy inside me says go for the phone. Help.

Captain

Get rid of your 4s.

F&R discount, it's actually a £41 a month contract.

Picked up the Galaxy S4 last weekend. Its a pretty good phone, bit too big though ( its the same size as the S3 with a slightly bigger screen). I reckon iPhone is the ideal size but I prefer getting an android as I can customise it more. Wanted to get the HTC One but they havent released it in South Africa yet. The camera's low light performance for the One is way better than the S4. There was a lot of criticism regarding the plasticy feel but dont see that as an issue as I use a case for any phone I get. Samsung has also included an additional two year accidental warranty for the whole of Southern Africa, which includes 2 accidental breaks or liquid damage.

Iphone is tiny, feels like a toy.

Got me an Xperia ZL, really cool device and very manageable for a 5" screen.

goon

Thought Samsung was too big too but it definitely works better for browsing and videos. Get used to the size too.

Love 4G, so quick!

A year or so on, I've come to the conclusion that tablets coupled with a free subscription to Netflix should be provided free by the government for all sufferers of insomnia.

I need to get a new phone. It's all so confusing for my tiny little mind though.
