The Pebble watches are not even comparable in functionality to even the older Android Wear watches, and dependent on which phone you have the Pebble linked to, it's a wildly different experience.

I am a supporter of Pebble in the past and present, but as an owner of both a Moto 360 and a Pebble Steel, the Pebble resembles a 1990's calculator watch in comparison to the functionality of the Moto 360.  It's not even close, and both devices are far from perfect.


Maybe for the old Pebble watches, but the Pebble Time and Pebble Time Steel are a step up. Android wear is terrible, and the Moto 360 is nothing special. If I had to choose an Android wear phone it would be one of the LG G Watch R with a real circle screen unlike the Moto and more battery time too.

But still prefer what the new Pebble Time is offering, everything I need and more. Colour screen and 7 days battery for the Time and 10 days for the Pebble Time Steel.

Also enjoying my Nokia Lumia 1320, bought mine and then a work mate bought the 1520. Both phones are amazing compared to what we've experienced with Android. Also getting 7 days battery life, thats with wifi, web surfing, bluetooth/GPS in the car and txting with a bit of gaming thrown in.

Currently playing Modern Combat 5: Blackout amazing :-)

Time to idle back on over to the Amiga discussion, that's enough about Apple :-)

While I'm far too reliant on Android/iOS only apps that aren't offered on Windows Phone atm to use a Windows Phone daily myself, I sure wish more people would give the Win phone devices a shot.  They are actually wonderful little handsets, and in the case of the Nokia devices, the cameras are absolutely mindblowing with the Denim update.


The app issue is becoming less a problem, the store has exploded over the last year. There are couple of missing apps but I've found alternatives.

The annoying part is some local mainstream stores ignoring WP and not making apps and having to hope that a 3rd party will make one.

The Lumia phones are some of the best built phones I've used, no lag or slow down. Even the 8MP camera on some models can take some amazing photos.

Will be upgrading when the next wave come through, I dont miss having to charge everyday  :-)

I wanted to try something new so last time I bought I phone I got the Lumia 1020 and the camera is really something else compared to other smart phones, specs of it:


Yep it's a great camera phone, you can purchase a camera holder for that phone which is really good.

I went with the 1320, good price, camera is good for the occasional photo and I was after a 6" screen. The 1520 is also a 6" screen but the price after doing some pros and cons was too much.

Will most likely upgrade when MS release the 1525.

Yepp Lens :)



Got the camera grip/holder, nice with the extra battery built in also :)

the 1320 is a nice phone also :) I will probably buy a WP phone the next time also.


They're great, but as we've said a shame more people don't try them. Just lending my phone to a couple of people was enough for them to change :-)

So the product is great.
