well here we go...
I have an Alcatel and its shit, in just 3 months the screen has a crack in it and apart from when someone rings me the sound dont work, never buying from that company again.

(22 Sep 2013, 10:33 am)aureolin Should be covered under manufacturer's warranty for 3 months? Maybe not the crack in the screen, but certainly the sound issue.
I had an O2 XDA Orbit year ago, and the sound kept going on that. I had 7 replacements in 12 months.

I have taken the plunge and it is currently downloading on the ipad.
5 hours to go - so probably won't see it until tomorrow!

(23 Sep 2013, 8:25 pm)aureolin Three issues with it that annoy the shit out of me, as they're basic.
1) Default setting for the 'Command Centre' when screen is locked should be 'Off'. Lessons learned from Siri perhaps??
2) You should not be able to dial any number from the emergency call screen when the phone is locked. iOS7 users, try locking your phone, selecting emergency call, then dial a number. Instead of pressing call once. Tap it multiple times and see what happens.
3) Default addresses is screwy. iMessages by default go from your @me.com address, rather than your mobile number. Should default to this if sending to a mobile number. It also doesn't like an Exchange account and IMAP account on the same phone. Will use your Exchange email address despite replying from a mail in your IMAP account.

(23 Sep 2013, 9:16 pm)BJ10VUS It's bloody awful!
However, it only took 8 minutes to download for my iPod Touch.
I've had a look at iOS 7 and it does look like a shift towards Android in a way so I can see why a lot of Apple sheep don't enjoy it.
I've just bought myself an HTC One and have to say its the best phone I've ever had, knocks the socks of a gimmicky Samsung S4 and far superior to the IPhone 5(S)ame
Looking for hints, tips and advice peeps.
Buying a new phone.
Not keen on touchscreens, but after a trip to the Metrocentre earlier, it seems I don't have much choice!
I am sticking with my payg sim and will be buying phone with cold, hard cash.
Need internet (rules out the 99p Nokia that one shop had), the ability to open word/excel document and emails (push or webmail).
Anything else, not too fussed about.
I have apple products (ipad and ipod) and have a Windows 8 laptop - so syncing/compatibility isn't an issue.
Not prepared to pay hundreds for something that is probably only going to last a couple of years either.
Any advice?
Currently have a Nokia e5 that has been great, but is on its last legs.
