Nokia Xpressmusic 5800. It was slow, buggy and every update seemed to make it worse. In the end I couldn't slide to answer calls or turn off the alarms.

No one really sets out to buy a crappy phone but you won't really know it's a crappy phone until you start using it...lol. I think that's the case most of the time.

SE vivaz. crap os, bad screen, boring and the phone was very hard to hack until the antivirus exploit was discovered

Samsung Solstice... yuck. I mean, you could use it, but as far as non-smartphones go, it was far inferior to even standard non-touchscreen phones. You're either a smartphone with a touchscreen or you aren't.
The best non-smartphone I ever owned was the Samsung Messager II when I had Cricket service. That phone was actually REALLY good. It was the only cell phone I ever liked before getting my Galaxy S2 earlier this year.

Only one reason not buy Google Nexus 7 !

Nexus 7 is good ! and most of people say, a lot of reasons should buy it, e.g Cheap, Quad core cpu, 1280 x 800 display (216 pixels-per-inch), and android 4.1 ! it is only apply on people who don't have tablet on hand !
but I only have one reason not buying Google Nexus 7 ! the screen is too small, I already have hp touchpad, it have 9.7" screen display, 7" it is too small if compare with 9.7" or 10.1", it is no point to spend other $248 to get other 7" tablet！
if google release 10.1" Nexus tablet, it will be different story！

I've the Hp Touchpad as well and I use it for reading mainly and ocassionally for browsing. However, I find it too heavy for reading and it isn't comfortable to hold while in bed. It's true that it runs ICS but there are still issues which probably won't be fixed. I'm seriously considering buying the Nexus 7, since I paid only £89 for the touchpad anyway.

I personally prefer reading from a self lit screen rather than having a separate source of light (small lamp attached to Kindle for ex.). Also even the newest e-ink kindle's dpi isn't perfect, the pixels forming the letters can be easily distinguished! That cannot happen with a screen with higher DPI.

Pretty awesome phone compared to my Galaxy Ace.

I've had like 6 different phones this year. All were very nice. Tried them all and love them all. I just still haven't found a device that I can hang on to for more than 2 months. Am I the only one with this issue? Can nexus 4 save me?!?!

How fast is this phone??

Hi, I really fancy getting this phone due to its form factor, but all the reviews seem to disagree about its performance. Antutu scores (around 13500) suggest it should be much faster than snapdragon devices but some reviews say it's average....Confused!
Anyone give me some real life impressions of how fast it is? (my other options are the big boys, htc one x etc... Not sure about size)
Also do you think Cm 10.1 will arrive eventually after x86 issues are solved?
Thanks for any replies
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Not sure about CM 10.1 but dang, this phone is fast! Been using it for months now and it litteraly flies. And that is without the upgrade to JB even.
Testers from this forum found it as fast the Samsung Galaxy S3 so don't worry about the speed.

I agree. I'm not rooted and have ICS and I find this phone faster than any other I've had (recently Desire and Desire S)
Yes, using stock launcher can be a bit laggy sometimes but I use Holo Launcher and it's totally lag free!

Hello ALL did you discover lags, slowdown between screens after update ? JB on my mobile (xt890) working so slow. I don't know what is the problem. I didn't do factory reset after update. What you thinking, that could be a problem? I started using difference launcher (NOVA) and seem my problem gone in 80% because I really like Motorola's launcher with amazing circles widget.

Lucky you having JB!
The first thing I'll do after updating to JB is to factory reset the phone as I'm sure that this resets everything and should stop any problems left over from the previous operating system.
Sent from my Motorola Razr I using Tapatalk 2

My RAZR i is running stock JB and I get a split second of lag when going back to the home screen from an app. I think that the launcher doesn't keep in memory like the ones you get from play store. So it has to reopen the launcher when you go home. Not a big deal. As far as speed, I get over 4100 in quadrant. Beats out the Asus transformer and matches the one x (according to quadrant) so yeah. Fast fast. Love this phone.

Im not kiding, im on JB right now and i cant feel any lag until now... i just made some tweaks on developer settings and stopped some bloatware its running high

Benchmarks are just theoretical and its all about how fast the phone appears to the user.
Perception is reality after all!
And on that scale the RAZR I is up there with the best. I cant make out any difference to any of the Android flagships that I have tried over the last few months.

Thank you for the great replies, it sounds like it performs way above its mid range billing. I get the feeling that a lot of the online reviews try to compare it with the likes of the gs3, when it's real competition like the HTC one s seems at least a little slower, has no memory expansion and it's way more expensive at the minute.
There are some great deals on it at the moment, so I'll go for it. Just have to hope it ships on jelly bean. I'm sure I'll be around the forum a bit once I get it, everyone seems really helpful. Thanks

Yeah I've seen a lot of great deals on the RAZR i recently. I only paid 320€ for mine.

Motorola X Phone or Nexus 4, which one would you prefer?

People say that Moto X Phone will drop in Aug., equipped a Dual-Core CPU, Clear-Pixle camera, and a Big battery which can let you using it for over 2 days. As the Nexus 4 has overheat problem, and a poor battery, easy smash glass back... which one would you prefer.
Actually my Nexus 4 can handle two days' usage, but it is really hot at sometimes. I would prefer Moto X phone, if it will be available soon..

sent from my blazing fast...... GT-19000..

Two things:
Nexus > Motorolas custom Android skin (and yes the X wont have stock Android)
High end > Mid range

I'd need to see the reviews once it's released to make any judgements on it over the N4.

Who said the moto x won't have stock android on it?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

I'd say the decision comes down to what the real specs and details are when it's all officially announced. If it's vanilla Android with Moto widgets as a bonus- it will be interesting.
With Google/Motorola looking at spending a TON on marketing for this phone; it's hard to imagine Google allowing Moto to release something that won't grab a lot of people's attention.
Also, where it's being sold can be a factor for Nexus 4 owners. If it's carrier only I won't buy it. If it's through Play Store then we're getting closer to raising my interest.

I think I would stick with the Nexus. I don't like the button placement on that phone, I like the flat slab feel of the Nexus, curved phones tend to feel funny to me, glass > plastic, Nexus has a quad core where the X is said to have a dual core, etc.

LTE, better camera, better battery, and a better looking phone.... It is hard to stick with the N4 after the Moto X is released. It's rumored to have the same price as the N4 and considering it is being sold on the Play Store, it is clearly going to have a stock experience.

Easily the Moto X. Smart Actions are awesome imo. I always like Moto's build quality too. Their cameras are average. I should've bought a Moto Atrix HD over the Nexus 4 myself. The LTE will be active on the Moto X. I am preparing to sell my Nexus 4 for the Moto X or S4 in the next few weeks. The Nexus 4 is flawed because the digitzer is visible on each device, the camera is not great at all, the phone overheats too much, the battery is not as good as other devices like the S3. Outside of those issues, the phone is a good overall product. You cannot have everything for $330 (after tax and shipping.) The Moto X will have a slightly faster processor (might be dual core, but still faster, 1.7 dual > 1.5 quad even though dual will be overworked a bit more), the camera will be a lot better at 10 MP, the build quality will be better, the OLED display will help, the battery should be a RAZR Maxx HD style battery at like 3100 mAh, LTE like said before, customization on the build quality and design of your choice, and you can always put a rom like CM10 on it.
