You guys should go back to the 3310 or even better any of the first Alcatel models. Those things don't break

Back when phones were made of granite they never broke.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

I've bought a Nokia X1 as a backup phone. Thing is quite sturdy, reminds me of my 1100 (first phone ). I remember that phone once flew of my hands while jumping into a bus. Fucking hardcore.

I agree with Sheik, my next phone will pmost probably be a Google Nexus, it has the updates immediately, doesnt have the bloatware of the manufacturers and is generaly good spec-ed.

Where do you buy that?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Where do you buy that?

From the Google Play Store directly.

Ah. How much?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I'm not sure. You should be able to check for yourself at play.Google.com/store

I thought it was just for apps? I only see apps there.

That's strange. I was sure you'd get to see it.

It doesn't seem that new. Some of the Dutch stores no longer have it. Does anyone here have it?

Yeah it ain't new. Try going to http://www.google.com/nexus/#/galaxy and click on Buy Now to see the price.

Around 550 euro. Ie. 4 printers.

550? Damn! I thought it came down to about 350E a few months ago. This sucks.

Tried Ebay?

No, but I'm not interested in buying it. Just wanted to know what it's like since Zlatan mentioned it.

 

[Zlatan]

550? Impossible, I saw it for around 400-430 on the mediamarkt.nl website (I was looking for a new phone for my gf to buy in NL), although it is not there anymore.

Anyways, it shouldnt be more than around 400 IMO, its already getting old.

It's pretty decent, although not on the level of the new generation of course (LG Optimus 4X/G, Samsung GS III, HTC One X). Its around the same spec as the Galaxy S II, perhaps slightly worse specs (no FM radio and worse battery), but it has had JB since july, and is a pretty good phone, will probably be updated even to the next android (maybe even the one after).


But anyawys, I'll wait for the new one which will also probably be a quad core monster.


Software updates are probably the biggest concern to a lot of users. ICS has been officially released for a year and still a lot of phones dont have it that should.

539 for the handset alone.

So its a bit more expensive than I thought. In Sweden you can get it for around 410 euros online and 470 in physical stores.


Still too much tho IMO, especially with the next gen quad cores on the market (you can get an LG 4X foor that money, although I dont know if you should).

 

[Zlatan]

But anyways, I'm probably getting that one (the next model) as my next phone

 

[Martin]

I'm happy for you.
