My Z10 I think has finally gone to heaven.. I say I think as I have bought a new battery and its still not waking up!! Loved it.. now considering the following:
Dtek60
Pixel
Microsoft Lumia 950
Note, not interested in the Apple..


Anyone running the above? Any thoughts appreciated.

It was established in 2010 as a 50:50 joint venture between Deutsche Telekom and Orange S.A. (formerly France Télécom) through the merger of their respective T-Mobile and Orange businesses in the UK.

The Lumia phones are superb! I am a Nokia fanboy haha.

However, I actually just replaced my Nokia Lumia 920 2 months ago. The problem....not the phone....it's windows. There is 0 app support! It's a dead OS and I wouldn't invest into it unless you only use the phone for calling and text.
I personally just use phones for calls and text...but it annoyed my wife since she likes to use apps that windows doesn't have or has no support for from developers.

So keep that in mind when you jump onto the sinking ship called Windows phones.

I'm still waiting for Nokia's return
Right now I have a Samsung Galaxy S4. Doe everything me and my wife require from a phone. See no reason to ever upgrade again unless Nokia returns or the phone breaks.

I loved my Z10 used mainly for calls, text and WeChat and looking for something that allow me to do the same. The Dtek60 looks interesting but again what's happening at Blackberry makes me nervous.

Would not recommend a windows phone, hardly an app support.

Myself being a (LG) Nexus 5X owner, the Pixel sounds nice. But it's made by HTC, who haven't had the best record in the last couple years. I'll bet the battery is also not as great as they're hyping, my Nexus 5X has the same capacity battery, and it does not last all day. You can save several hundred by going with a 5X over the Pixel and have comparable performance.

Pixel is shaping up nicely, I've messed with one a bit now.

I still really like the Sony stuff as well, they're the only devices I have that remain trouble free (including a nearly 4 year old tablet) - updates have been good, but nothing to N yet... where the Pixel will have the advantage on updates. I recently went 2 full days and ended at 36% battery on my Z5 (granted, only occasional texting/email checking and a quick directions check on maps, but I did use it...)

I know nothing about the Dtek60 so really can't say there. There's a history of solid hardware but... even my 2010 Archos tablet still boots up happily, your Z10 experience would have me wary (probably worth another shot, but if it goes quits again... I went 3 HTC devices before I gave up, every single one ballooned the battery after a couple years...)

And I'd not bother with the MS phone at this point, unless you're really in love with whatever it is MS is doing. It's not the hardware here, by the way...

Samsung remains in the pile of 'hell no' with Apple for me. So much garbage installed and half their firmware is half-baked, dirty tricks under the covers... I own one of their 7" tabs, and I wish I didn't. I was almost happy I soft-bricked it the other day, but I need it for testing so I fixed it.

I have an Apple 6 as my work phone really don't want another Apple as I don't like the hype/snobbery behind the phone..

Yes indeed and having read the threads above the Lumia sounds like a dead end leaving the Pixel or Dtek60 from my initial list..

[radroach]

@JD001 just saying (from opinion) Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P offer 99% of what the pixel's got at a way lower price these days. And the only thing I see the "blackberry" model offering over them is that it has an SD card slot.

I'll be checking out your recommendations as I haven't actually handled the models.
