    Having had 3 apple devices I have to say I prefer the Droids TBH.

    Current Phone is a Samsung S5 and very nice it is too!

    Don't expect massive changes folks,when mine restarted I didn't notice any difference. Saying that as I type there's a new predictive txt bar that may be quite good as you get used to it.

    For some strange reason my Google and BT Smarttalk apps are permanently using location services,had to turn them off manually or battery prob would be flat in short time. They probably just need updating to work with ios8.

    Note to self, do NOT update devices, resist the temptation to see a whole new improved OS that never happens, just another year of bugs if I do like last time, my device works fine, it ain't broke so don't fix it....

    anyway servers are jammed ;)
