At last, after 4 months of frustration with the Moto G 4G, I am finally free of Android, and have a full refund for the faulty device (camera is inherently faulty, firmware update does not fix the issue with reading some micro SD cards.) What a great Christmas present!
After getting the refund, I visited the O2 and Three stores to wee which Windows phones I might be able to purchase. In O2 the sales people tried hard to steer me towards Android phones, and were surprised when I declined pointing out that Android is a bit of a mess. They asked what I meant... so I went along the LG, Sony, and Samgung phones showing them the different versions of Android each was running. Android 4.1 was the lowest version, 4.4 the highest. Of course, it wasn't as simple as that, as each manufacturer uses a different skin, so finding the 'About this Phone' menu item was different on each make. But it served as an example of what is wrong with Android - fragmentation within and across brands.
Having been using Windows Phone for a couple of months, I now find Android quite awkward to use; it just feels clumsy and clunky, even though it's generally smooth (though not as smooth as WP or iOS.)
Alas, I didn't find another Windows Phone to buy today, so I'll have to wait until after Chritstmas to see what becomes available in the sales. The next step up from the L735 would be good if I could get it at a good price.
