re: WC 100K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Well, I just went (through the rain) to the phone store near me.
It was very inconclusive. I had a look at the HTC One M8, the Sony Xperia Z2, the Lumia 930, and the LG G3.
HTC One M8: It's very beautiful and the big bezels don't really bother me when I have it in my hand. The big concern here: Camera.
Sony Xperia Z2: It still doesn't get me excited, it's very nice though.
Lumia 930: Surprisingly, it features the build I like the most. It's a beautiful phone that is much smaller than the M8 with the same screen size. However as soon as I turned on the screen I felt overwhelmed by the tiles. It might be just this specific layout, but it looked like a mess, cluttered, unorganized, and overly busy.
LG G3: It feels of course less valuable than the M8, but I think that's only because of the direct comparison. The big problem here: It was out of battery, so I couldn't really have a look at the screen. This really was a pity. The "No battery" screen looked nice though for the two seconds I could see it ;-) Also, I actually very much like the buttons on the back.
So, I still think it's the M8 or the G3, but I don't know which one ;-) It's a shame I couldn't have a look at the screen. But I will go to the store I usually buy my devices from this evening and they might have it on display too. They have only on M8 in this store, but a lot of G3s, so I might be deciding there on the spot.
