What a load of fud that blog is. WP8.1 is an OS which is starting to gain traction, having owned/used several phones WP8.1,has to be my pick.

IOS - I find the Apple hype machine sickening. Having tried a couple of iPhones they felt like a step backwards. The worse example is the iPhone 4. Peering into a tiny screen with a so called retina display. Then the releasing of the next iPhone, wait a minute its doesn't look any different. The quality is also questionable, there have been a few issues over the years. But the well oiled hype machine or just blind love takes care of that. Don't get me started on ibooks/powerbooks.

Although I do enjoy classic Macs.

Android - fragmented, slow, lockups. The layout is a mess, as for the collection of apps I prefer quality over quantity and I got tired of the adverts and stuff getting pushed to my phone even with adblocker installed. Sony Z series of phones look great and the one plus one is looking good. As for Samsung their best piece of work was th S2 since then I haven't been interested. The S3 has some design issues, especially the USB connector cracking on most of them. But I'll stop the... Have to go to work LOL.

My next phone os will be Cyanogenmod. My next phone will probably be the Oppo N1. It has a movable camera. I'm not really into phone cameras but the idea of actually having a moving part on my phone excites me!


So Android then ;-) Cyanogenmod is just an Android ROM, any Android phone can use it.

The Oppo N1 doesn't exactly get rave reviews and most mention sluggish/crashing. It's just another Chinese Android phone.

If you want something designed around the Cyanogenmod ROM then get the oneplusone.

I'll just stick with my Nokia Lumia 1320, smooth as silk. Camera is amazing for what it is, better than my Samsung digital camera which is 8MP.

Only have to charge every 3rd/4th day instead of the once a day with my old Android phone :-)
