I use phonetrans to transfer songs from pc on my iphone 5.

Get LG G3 cus G4 doesn't improve your experience that much trust me you will save lots of money and you will be happy with it for at least 2-3 years.
I didn't use that one but I always recommend buying one. Right now I have Galaxy S4 its quite good as well if you can survive with Samsung.

Itunes annoys me too, which is why I just listen to music directly from Youtube.

I got a cheap Chinese copy of a Samsung note2 for about £120 2 years ago off amazon. Couple bugs but it works perfectly for my needs and has a great battery life. Fine for netflix, reading books, browsing etc. Chinese copies are probably a mixed bag but you can get them for 1/3 or 1/4 price of the real thing

True, they function like the genuine version. But how about the SAR value? The Chinese knock-offs are known to completely overlook that and you really wouldn't like to carry one of those in your pocket close to your precious nuts.

Ikaruz, look at the new Moto X range they're looking cool and you can customize them on Motorola's website.

This is ain't out yet and may never be but it is most exciting Android phone I've seen in years.

Wouldn't touch Blackberry if they paid me.

Did that with my first ever phone, it cost me £3.75, I still have and use it over 10 years later.

Well, you obviously only broke the glass protective screen, rather than the display/touch screen. Repairing/buying a replacement for that tends to cost almost as much as the phone itself.

[LordBerenger]

Oh I never repaired it, that's how much the phone cost xD For that same reason it ofc never had a touch screen.

Hence me being Scrooge

Yeah mine was the screen itself. But luckily because of the warranty or whatever the reason was (forgot) i only had to pay about 60-70 Euro. Was around the time the S4 was released too so might've been a limited time offer at the time or something. Anyhow. If I would do it again it would cost a loooot more.

I have been using Nexus 4 for a while and I am quite happy with it. Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 have already been announced after it, but tbh, pretty much all you will get with the two latter will be bigger screens. Also, remember that the Nexus phones immediately get all system updates, as they are Google's pure Android phones without any prior customization in place.

You even own the same phone as I do...damn, I was going to suggest it. It's great, and it's somewhere below 200€ if you look for it on Amazon. Get it.

[Grumpy_Nic]

Iphone 4, I have mine since ~4 years and it works just fine, very durable (survived lots of falling down at various hard surfaces), only had to change the headphone jack once cuz I ruined it somehow.

And finally, our short odyssey has come to an end!

There was one champion under them all, independently recommended by some of you, by some of my friends and by tests and magazines. And the only phone which I always fancied at from the start on, but I was unsure about the price. But in the end, I went all in for

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact

yeeees, I know, it´s a biiiiiit more expensive than what I´ve been aiming for (started from 100€ phones, then went for 250-350 until I was like "ah fuggit" and got the phone I was always looking at when passing by) but I´m really happy with the purchase. The fact that I recently got some cash from some minor jobs and that the phone could be seen as an early birthday gift to myself also helped with the decision 

Thanks for all the help and advices peeps! Now I gotta figure out how to kill this monstrosity called "auto-correction"... 

[Mr_Oujamaflip]

A good decision, the compact Zs have always been good value for money with higher specs than their counterparts.

I've got the Z4 tablet and it's awesome, had the Z2 and Z2 tab before that.

If you own a smartphone, you're a victim of consumerism and one of the reason this country has gone to shit.
