If you're old and have failing eyesight, or you have sausage fingers, or you have mental issues, or all of the above, consider the Samsung Galaxy Note. Bloody massive screen, easiest thing to text on as far as touchscreens go, very quick and efficient.

I had an HTC Sensation XE that I didn't really like. Turned itself on and off for no reason, heroically slow to boot up, poor network capabilities.

Mum & sister are iPhonists. They are very beautiful, but very much for joy and not jobs. If you want to do a lot of work-related stuff, stick with Android...

Interesting to see Samsung are using Windows on their new range demonstrated recently. Think they are hedging their bets with all the lawsuits.

Samsung, along with HTC, have always had windows offerings

True they have for a while now, but they don't advertise them much it all seems focused on android phones.

They have indeed, but this is a big push with Windows 8 - only new devices they demonstrated which is unusual

Microsoft cash incentive?

It's been mentioned on a number of tech sites I read this is a final major push for windows mobile as development costs dwarf sales returns.

She's allergic to people called Lee. Apologies. :p

I have to say that Android have got a very strong operating system, and would be interested to see if Windows can take much back from both iOS and Android users.

Well,

Got a very good deal on a Nokia Lumia 800 so bought it.

Seems to be doing exactly what I need. Thanks for al the help
