Explain that bit then, because I think you're just being a fanboy. I buy a product based on what it does.

There are apps like games which demand access to contact lists and making phonecalls. That's not to run the game, that's to get information and sell it on. What's worse is these aren't always companies, these can be individual app developers who can personally look through things and actually...

Re: Naked of Case? Can't even consider buying one of them off-brand rubber or plastic taccy ugly cases, let alone holding my phone in one. When I had a 9790 I considered buying an official leather holder for ?10 to keep it save while in my pocket, but didn't bother because it was fine.

Some time a year or so ago facebook actually did mess up peoples contacts though with this. Loads of apps demand these permissions that they downright don't remotely need and there's no option to tick off each permission. You can either install and DWI or not use apps which makes android kinda...

It's the fact whenever there's an app, even if its paid for, the producer could get full access to your phone. Not about US government or something.

Yeah but I cant even use the facebook app without them screwing up my contacts list. Whats the point in having an android phone if I cant use apps. Might as well buy an OS7 blackberry lol.

SIM free phone with monthly SIMs I buy in cash? Sure. You're just being ridiculous to defend the "golden" android. It's quite a bit different from giving a random 3rd party dev who could be anyone access to do anything on your phone. Maybe even steal financial details.

I'd say its 5" IPS screen is a killer feature. And it's specs too, a 2.3Ghz CPU.

Black 32GB leaves warehouse in 4-5 weeks. I didn't order at the beginning of the month was gonna wait til 8th when it said they'd leave warehouse. I don't really get it, the longer I wait is it just going to get more and more distant to be able to order one of these phones? ?339 is a lot of...

It's so sad that the majority of people think "Meh, cellphones aren't about privacy anymore"... I'm not obsessed with it but I hate how I can't even install a game or email app without god-knows who having near full access to my phone.

I'm probably getting the nexus 5 but after updating some apps on an android from a year ago it was saying google and misc apps would have permission to do things like read my SMS messages, modify my contacts, all sorts of stuff. What the hell is up with this? Is it possible to own an Android and...
