[General Questions and Answers] Terrorantula:
I love the openness of Android, the apps of IOS and the look of Windows Phone, however on their own, I'm not fond of any of them. I do have to say though since Android supports Flash Player, it would be the one I choose as when I had an Android phone I loved being able to stream from Desktop Sites. I sold my GS2 last year because I walked out on my job and needed the quick cash to get me by until I found a new one. So I've been using a temporary Nokia Symbian Phone since then as as I've got my upgrade now, I really need to get something that isn't on Symbian.

The weird thing is though, since using the device and since trying a HTC One in a shop, I do not like the HTC One because I prefer the build of this Nokia. I found the big screen of the HTC One difficult to deal with, I had to either slide it around on my hand or use two. The Power button is in the worst place possible, to unlock the phone you need to use two hands again and there is no tactile button that the GS2 had to unlock it that way instead. Speaking of that I hate touch screen or capacitive touch buttons, they're just horrible, I want proper tactile buttons, they feel much better and you don't hit them by accident all the time. The HTC One doesn't have a dedicated camera button either, like most Smart Phones these days, having used the Nokia for so long, it's so much better being able to press a real button instead of having to look at the screen all the time.

I don't like how the One or many other smart phones are so light and thin either. I don't feel like I have anything of value, there is no weight in my hand and I feel like I could forget it's there or have it slip out of my hand by mistake. The phone didn't feel comfortable either, I could get a nice grip and because it was so big, to have a good grip I would have to use a second hand the whole time, which makes the phone pointless IMO. I also don't like how the speaker grills had a gap in them, I don't like how they don't sit flush to the screen, what kept happening is my finger kept running over the bump of the speaker grills and the screen when I swiped up or down.

What I realized is these screens are so high res now and are so massive that Android doesn't function well and needs a redesign. Many UI elements are far too small on the screen, I found myself tapping the screen several times to get it to register where I wanted to hit. I found myself having to use two hands to be able to reach something on the other side of the screen. Windows Phone fixes this with the big tiles, which is why I liked testing it out, however Windows Phone has less apps than Symbian lol....

I cannot find a phone that I want to upgrade to.......

I keep thinking that the 920 delivers most of what I want, however capacitive touch buttons instead of tactile, lack of apps and no Flash player on Windows Phone kills it. There is no Android hardware that really appeals to me at all, the main problem is all the flagships are now 4.7-5 inches which is way too big and if you get a smaller one, you feel like you're getting the bastard child. The iPhone 5 is almost perfect, however it's too thin and light and IOS has no flash support and I hate iTunes with a passion, you have to wait ages for a jailbreak now.

I just want Nokia to make a Lumia 930 or whatever, have tactile buttons at the bottom, updated specs and for Microsoft to bring Flash Player to Windows Phone and then I'd be happy with going for that. Sadly I cannot find anything that exists right now that I like.
