Your Next Mobile Phone?

[Aspire Utilities]

yeah that phone is a classic, I still have a customer who ordered them every two years , I have been dealing with him for about ten years now, his happy as larry and I pay some of his bill of as it makes me decent money, win, win, if I sell I iphone, my profit goes out the window hence why I don't ...

mmm ok the 640, what was it about the 640 which you liked over the 735?????? I will look at the spec between the two, I used the 735 as its midrange handset from my supplier, but if you feel the 640 is decent, I can buy them in for my customers

There isn't really much difference between the two phones, the 640 has a slightly bigger screen at 5" with a 8mp camera and the 735 has 4.7" screen with a 6.7mp camera overall the specs are about the same, the main difference is that the Microsoft 640 is Microsoft branded and the battery life lasts a little longer.


Standby time comparison :
Microsoft 640 : 51,840 min
Nokia 735 : 36,000 min

Currenly I use used Nikia C7 which was presented to me in the beginning of 2013. The previous owner bought it earlier. The next phone will be a smartphone exactly. But the brand is undecided.

cheers @Synology Hosting , you learn everyday , love this forum

I think it depends what you want out of it but i'm an iphone person myself.

I left Apple for Samsung and got the Alpha when it first came out. I was tired of Apple's lack of imagination... An amazing company, yes. But relatively little changes across the 4 and 5, then a gigantic 6 eventually left me bored.

No issues with Samsung to date, build quality isn't as good as Apple*, but I knew that before swapping. It's not as restricted as the iPhone and the screen is far better. Happy days.

Anything on Android or IOS will be my next phone. I currently have a Windows phone and i love it's simplicity and some of its functions but overall it lacks too many official apps and features unfortunately.

Should be changing soon with the upcoming release of Windows 10. I believe they are making it easier for developers to rework their apps for Windows devices.

So might be worth checking that out on release before making any final choices.

 

[flomigo]

That's good to hear, i'll definitely be looking into it then. I have a HTC at the moment, had it for years and not had a single problem with it apart from the lack of software. Thanks for the heads up

No problem, I feel the same to be honest the lack of app support really does make them an unattractive choice at the moment, but as I said before that should all be changing soon.

I´ve ordered a One Plus One, to replace my S3, I was going to get a s5 but the one plus one has similar specs and is quite a bit cheaper so I thought I´d roll the dice on them.

I.m sticking with Fred,give him a bit of seed and his batteries never go flat.

@ synology , I got the 640 for my customer after he called me this morning for the iPhone 6, I told him to have a look as I set it up with him for emails etc, he bloody lives it and ordered mine for we'd , great shout

The OnePlus next model. I have a OnePlus One (One is the model) and it's phenominal. 64GB memory, 3GB RAM and quadcore processor. Huge screen and great battery life. Oh and you can buy them direct from the manufacturer for £220 until the new model comes out.... no brainer!

Glad to hear he liked it, the 640 is an amazing phone, its cheap (But importantly doesn't look cheap by a long shot!), reliable and really looks the part in my opinion.

It's also nice that you are able to replace / change the back of the phone.

Most people tend to avoid windows phones due to the lack off App support.

But when they release windows 10 for mobiles this should all change due to them making it more developer friendly, so hopefully soon we should see a lot more apps on the Windows market.

its been perfect so far, it will do what most people will ever need a phone for and linked to my laptop so easily and not going to be robbed with extra data, 128gb card for £15, how much would it cost for extra memory on the iphone mmmm, well happy, just need all my customers to have my mentality lol

 

[Ian J]

Mobile phones aren't about their ability to phone and text anymore, unfortunately its become more of a fashion statement.

Amongst the dickorati perhaps as those less worried about what others think will be saving a fortune by not trying to keep up with the (insert own word). My Samsung Galaxy S3 still works very well and my Sim only contract costs me £8.50 per month and I make all my business calls on it

 

[estwig]

My next mobile will be one that doesn't ring or do texts, emails or make any other form of communication!

Semaphore or smoke signals only, from a great distance, from now on!!

I love that you are able to use your own SD card to increase storage on them, with an iPhone it would cost way, way too much to get that kind of storage. Sadly my phone doesn't have this feature but I'm going to make sure my next one does

I believe more phones are able to do this these days? only reason apple don't is because they know they can make more money off it, just to upgrade a 16GB iPhone 6 too a 128GB iPhone 6 it's something like £150? give or take a bit, and it cost you just £15 with the cost of the phone being £60-£90 (ish) you make a massive saving and get an excellent phone.

 

[websensejim]

I really liked my HTC One X, unfortunately I lost it and had to wait for an upgrade. I now have an iphone 5s because I got a really good deal on it at the time but the phone is completely wasted on me, I'm sure I don't use about 90% of its features. I'm due another upgrade in 6 months so I'm thinking about getting the HTC M9. Anyone use it?

 

[Formations Factory]

Same! I had a bunch of Android phones (e.g. Samsung Galaxy, Nexus) but my current iPhone 5 works flawlessly. I'll be buying the next iPhone.

Almost certainly the next model of the iPhone, or perhaps even the one after that.

 

[websensejim]

iPhones are beautifully designed but the battery life is appalling. Until they sort that out, I won't be buying another one.

 

[Formations Factory]

I send 20-30 messages and make 1-2 calls a day. I charge my phone every 2 days. I can't complain about the battery life.

[websensejim]

In fact, the battery life is the only issue I have with my Macbook also. I would never change my Mac but the battery life is very poor. I hope Apple are working on this.

 

[Formations Factory]

I had a Macbook Air and the battery life deteriorated in 12 months so badly I had to carry a charger at all times. Replaced it with Macbook Pro quite recently - no problems so far.

My next phone will be Google Nexus 2015. Why? Because I want pure Android, latest build and its perfect 5"-5.2" screen.

 

[mackkk]

i suggest microsoft windows phones....best n reliable...!!!!

 

[Aspire Utilities]

Using the Lumia 640 , once you get it to full charge its brilliant and very responsive

 

[SMR Locksmiths]

samsung s3 mini - £110 for the handset with no sim and contract. Only drawback against iphone is the camera!

 

[Rob Gordon]

Had both the 6 and 6Plus. The 6 was slightly better than the 5 range, but the 6Plus is amazing - lasts for ages and I can happily go out with even 20% and know I've got half a day before I need to find a charger..

I don't make large volumes of calls, but the data connection is running pretty much solidly all day.

 

[RBS]

Only problem 6+ is huge, not a phone but phablet.

 

[Rob Gordon]

A problem for some people, but many are fine with a phone that size. The iPhone's main weakness is its price, which like most Apple products is a premium.

 

[websensejim]

I don't want a large phone either; that's the reason I lost my HTC - too damn big, too easy to fall out your pocket. Can't we just go back to the small star trek style flip phones?

 

[cpon]

I'm a Lumia 925 man and have been very happy with it. Running Windows 8.1. Nice and smooth and clean. Just about to come out of its warranty and will then think about getting one of the flagship Windows 10 phones.

Have owned Android and iOS phones, with Android being my least favourite.

Massive fan of Mac computers, so I was surprised I have kept faith with the Lumia

 

[djonemorales]

Right now I am using smartphone of Asus company. My Next Mobile Phone will be from microsoft lumia. I am using android from many years and now i just want to switch over the OS from Android to Windows. So i am looking for best Lumia phones with my budget. And why to choose windows?? Just because to buy Apple phone is not my cup of tea.

 

[SMR Locksmiths]

IMHO, anything that runs on Windows I steer clear of. My wife's laptop updated to Win10 not so long ago is already starting to sloooooow down drastically. Registry clean up's, disk defragmentation and so forth didn't really help much. Even the infamous "blue crash screen" came glitched up few times already with laptop stopping working out of nowhere. any windows device is a NO GO!

How old is the laptop?

New operating systems take advantage of advancements in hardware capabilities. An older laptop with insufficient RAM or processing speed may therefore struggle to run the latest OS smoothly.

If this is the case, then it won't just be Windows. Any operating system or new software will require more resources as technology advances.

I agree. I have the iPhone 6 Plus and the battery life is great considering the size of the screen. It's not as good as it once was, but after having it for over a year, a reduction in battery performance is to be expected.

I love the large screen as well. I don't even have to use my tablet anymore. I'd even go as far as to say that I may no longer stick with iPhones if they stop producing these larger screen devices. I've briefly used my friends' smaller iPhones, and it becomes clear just how small the videos and web pages are.

 

[Bradley Holmes]

I won´t go back to a smaller screen either, When I got my one plus one I thought the 5 and a bit inch screen was stupidly big, but now I can´t go back.
