I made the switch from a Samsung Galaxy S1 to a HTC 8X and haven't looked back.

There is a learning curve, but it's fairly short and painless. I only use a handful of apps, and they were all available on Windows Phone 8, so no problem for me there. ymmv

Re: Will I be able to survive without Andoird?

2) The WP8 seriously lacks proper apps - there's no Instagram, no Pinterest, no good Facebook app (most of the third-party apps are just "shortcuts" to FB's mobile webpage), official Twitter app sucks ass, official WhatsApp app sucks ass right now, Skype app is still in "beta" s...

Grand

What's your first thoughts about Galaxy grand? The 5" display is great but the resolution is just 800x480. Guess that's enough to overlook it?

Re: looking for a easy to use media player

Real player.. The free version doesnt come with all the features but the audio quality is great. The interface is beautiful, wish VLC came with a better interface.

Best graphics card under $150

What's the recommendation for the graphics card under $150? At the moment I am doing with the on graphics on the ASUS motherboard.

I wish to get ATI HD 6970 but that's beyond the available budget .

My rig is a AMD Athlon II X4 6454 GB, Gskill DDR3 RAM, 128 Intel SSD boot drive
