You're overstating your case, a perfectly functional phone that's maybe not quite as good is not the same as being crap. It's not like it won't work. |

| 1412425 | 2015-12-08 22:32:00 | Have a look at this one from PBTech (they're not too far from you - in Penrose) - Motorola Moto E www.pbtech.co.nz Or spend a little more on this one: www.pbtech.co.nz(2014-2nd-Gen.)-BLACK-Dual-SIM-5inc At least these two phones don't have the crappy intrusive manufacturer overlay (Touchwiz) that Samsung rubbish does. This is as close to a 'pure' Android experience as you can get without buying a Nexus device... |

Im carrying around 3 at the mo (2 for work, + personal ph) At what size do ph's get too big to carry around for every day use, for those that dont have a purse :) Some of us do like touchwiz, as thats what Im used to. The drop down buttons to easily turn off wifi & data with one ~click~ is a great feature of Samsungs . |

Those drop down buttons are just a Samsung-flavoured implementation of a standard Android feature (which is far more intuitive in a vanilla Android device). I have a Nexus 6 (Motorola) so probably can't comment on size - I have large hands so using it is fine, but it does make it a little uncomfortable to sit down with it in my front jeans pocket. I think size comes down to personal taste/need... |

| 1412429 | 2016-01-02 20:22:00 | What phone did you buy in the end bk T? I'm currently trying to make up my mind between the following LG G3 (might be out of my budget) Smart ultra (find this a bit on the big side) P8 lite Huawei Y6 Moto E (no flash for camera and camera not great) |
