My Google Nexus (The original one from acouple years back) is starting to look a bit weary and need to replace it.
I'm just wondering what to go for next. The new Nexus 6 is due out soon, but think it is just a tad big as an everyday phone. Hopefully if the rumours are correct, the Nexus 5 is also going to get a refresh so that could be an option.
Also, the daughter is going to get her first phone this christmas, so was also think a Nexus 5 for her. (She has already been told when she gets a phone (in a year or so  ) it will not be an iAnything.
I believe the HTC M8 also go a recent spec update, but that refresh isn't available in the UK.
There is just too many to choose from!
I like the Google Nexus approach of being stock Android with no skins ontop like the Samsung TouchWiz or whatever its called on the Sx range/Alpha etc. The Alpha could still be an option if there isn't a N5 refresh and the N6 is in fact too big.

I did take a look at the OnePlus One. That was pretty sweet, but it's just so damned difficult to get a hold of.

Yeh, I have never heard of it until last trip when one of the guys offshore mentioned it, he was looking to get it.

At least it's a great song to have running around your head.

Well yes, I agree to you. Windows Phone is not a great OS, since there are many things not done-able in Windows Phone. But, as a developer I am eager to get a Windows Phone to develop an application in C#, I am sick of Java. 
Everyone has their own problems, I guess then.

Get a protective shell with raised edges around the camera lenses quickly, the lenses are not scratch resistant. Otherwise I'm happy with HTC.

Pete, I hope you will be consoled in this dark moment in your pilgrimage through the vale of shadows by these words of Mircea Eliade:
"As long as you have not grasped that you have to die to grow, you are a troubled guest on the dark earth." in Eliade's "Little Book of Romanian Wisdom:" most probably a translation of a quote taken from Goethe's poem, "The Holy Longing."

Damn and blast, I was inches away from getting a windows phone after researching the apps that I want. I have located a nav system, a good wine library and a reader app which will integrate with Calibre.
A friend was showing off his Sonos system and I was much impressed, I assumed Sonos was there, ah well Ass of You and Me, well me anyway.

So here I am in Madagascar, sitting in a restaurant on the Straight of Mozambique, and what do I hear? Some guy sitting near me starts talking about programming in C#. HELP!!! I fear that if I vacationed on the moon, I couldn't get away from work.

Do you think you are the first who has to land manually on the moon just because of some error messages?

Don't complain, he could have been talking about programming in VB

Walking through Gaul Fort in Sri Lanka and hearing some fanboi proselytising to another pillock, the temptation to strangle the silly bugger was extreme.

I've so much stock for the 10M+ members of CP. But I know, not all of you could come, so I ate some.
