So that's the £538 figure. It will depend on how sucky the 3G performance is compared to O2/Giff Gaff.

Running speedtest on my Lumia 800 I get around, 3,800 KB/s down and 1,600 KB/s up.

A work colleague's S3 was doing around 1,800 KB/s on T-Mobile and that's with an Orange mast about 800 ft away.

Odd, in newcastle my mate is on EE (t-mobile) and gets 18mb/sec (not 4g). On O2 i only get 1.5 up/down.

On three I get about 2.5 up and 4-6 down.

O2 is the worst network up here for some reason. And it was poor on the train down to London compare to Three / T-mob.

Orange / T-Mobile have the biggest network now, speed isn't everything if you can only get 3G coverage at home.

Well, I would hardly be the first person to defend O2's coverage and reception. But the proof is in the pudding.

3G reception at home is only a bonus for when my cable connection goes down, which it has done a few times recently. I think I live in a bit of a NIMBY area as the reception isn't the best.

We'll see anyway.
 
I do agree, the weight thing is hardly an issue.

I'm not sure why people are complaining about it so much.

Why is it so heavy though (compared to other phones)?

OIS and wireless charging components, I guess the iP5 is the defacto standard.

Hmm.
Did he imply it was because you'd initially ordered at that price? Or the website is wrong?

Neither to be honest I didnt want to push the website angle too much in case he decided to charge me £200. He just told me it was £50 so I suggest anyone else that wants to order one for £50 tries by phone rather than the website.

Cheap flimsy build quality. Less storage so smaller PCB perhaps. Smaller less functional camera.

Actually the build quality has been said to be fantastic.

The internals dont weigh much, its the big bulky case and glass which weighs a lot on the 920.

Either way, who cares.

Well the Nexus 7's build quality wasn't too good. But that was made by Asus not LG. Google's customer service is terrible too, I get this picture of Roy from the IT crowd in my head just thinking about what they must look like.

Who cares indeed, there's hundreds of Android phones around. I'm not a mainstream person in terms of music, style or the way I think. So why would I join the Android borg collective?
 
i had a HTC HD7 which weighs 162g..and that did not feel "heavy" at all.

i am not bothered about the weight, i am buying it for the features..
