Like you said before Samsung does not have the quality in this case a Iphone, which I agree (I own a Samsung Note) The quality of the Nokia Lumia 1020 also surpasses that of the Samsung. The APP's that come with it along with MS free APPs are more than adequate (I downloaded their "selfie APP, along with Australian birds) -- Petzl "Life is tough, but it's tougher if you're stupid."

But while the camera is superficially better > than the iphone on pixels alone, its much worse > with all the rest of the camera functionality. > >> The APP's that come with it along with >> MS free APPs are more than adequate > > Like hell they are with navigation apps, Just did a very interesting side by side comparison of the GPS navigation app that comes with another Nokia Lumia that a mate of mine has with google maps coming into Sydney from Goulburn. We were running late trying to get to Central Station in time to catch the train home leaving at 07:33. The Nokia kept claiming that we would get there at 06:58 at best, because I was tearing in at up to 150K on the massive great divided highway coming in to Sydney. Google Maps kept claiming that we would get to Central at 07:23 which was much too late given I had never actually been inside Central at all and had absolutely no idea where to go etc and the fucking map that translink provides was gobbledegook to me. Absolutely classic example of a map which isn't bad if you know the area well but useless when you don't. Wasn't even at all clear from the web site if you had to checkin like you do with the airlines or not. Turns out that you don't, just jump on the train and they check the ticket on the train, after its actually left the station. Anyway, google maps was saying that there would be an extra 11 min delay due to traffic congestion when still just coming into Sydney proper. The Nokia never said anything about that at all. Once we started running into the congestion, the Nokia did start to increase the arrival time but was always about 15 mins ahead of google maps. Turned out that google maps was pretty close but not clear how close because the battery ran out in the last few Ks. Couldn't power the phone from the car because the lightning connector had some shit in it which makes it hard to charge. Hilarious saga in many ways. Those kids who I had taught to drive who had headed back to china with the new midget to show her parents for a year or so were moving to Sydney for a job there. Neither of them were very confident about that sort of long distance driving having done none of that. So I was initially going to go as a passenger to boost his confidence and be there to drive if he decided it was too much for him, particularly coming into Sydney. Planned to drop me at the train station and I'd get the train back. But the bugger kept changing his mind every day or so and once he decided that he was going to do it that way, only a couple of days before the job induction, the only trains back left at 07:33 instead of the 20:30 in the evening that is there just on Friday and Sunday. So we left here at midnight and drove thru the night, not something he was too keen on even trying. because he normally doesn't sleep till after midnight. And his wife was even less keen. Because we were so late, I pulled up at the lights in Eddy Ave, told him that I was off, him that had never driven in Sydney, ever. He did fine, can't have been too bad a driving instructor. I didn't have fucking clue where to go and managed to strike a complete fucking loony who shouted at me with the first one I asked. Missed the train by 10 mins, mainly because I didn't have a clue where to go at Central. With 20:20 hindsight we should have left an hour earlier and would have pissed it in. I had already added an hour to the google maps estimate in case the others wanted to stop for stuff but we only stopped for petrol once. Even google maps isn't great coming into the city proper, no lane directions at all. Fluked that one. The road signs are fucking useless too, like the lane markers saying ED ONLY and nothing else. Turned out that it meant Eastern Distributor which is what I wanted but that was a pure fluke. Not great on the massive great divided highway past Yass and Goulburn either, it should mention that if you want petrol etc you need to use the exit coming up. Interesting whiling away the spare day till the next day's train. The light rail system works very well indeed. I thought it was a bit of a socialist wank until I tried using it. Certainly leaves driving around the CBD etc for dead, let alone parking. The train booking monkey said that he never drives into the city at all anymore. Corse he gets there for free everyday. What's the story with the $2.50 day trip tickets that you can use on almost anything ? Little credit card sized piece of cardboard. Do they change color by day ? I did use the one I had used on monday on tuesday to get back to central from Capitol Square. She was the only one that looked at it closely, they others never did. But she didn't say anything about it after reading what was printed on it. The fucked thing about the $2.50 ticket is that you have to pay $11 to get off the train at the airports but they didn't say anything about that when I asked the railway ape at central how I used it to get to the airport. He just said platform 23 and pointed in the general direction of how to get to platform 23. The Opal system looks interesting. Pity you can't just wave your phone at the posts tho.
