Help - Cellphone upgrade time

Ok, change of plan. I just cancelled my order. I actually went to check the size of the damn thing. It is HUGE. Also, FNB takes 15 days to deliver.
So I'll go look at alternative methods to get either the Nokia Lumia 930 or Samsung Galaxy S5. Takealot has it in stock for R8.3k, but I don't really want to pay for it once-off like that.

That's why I go for the smaller phones (4" or so), because my tablet is already 7", don't need two of the same size devices.
 
Im probably getting an S5 when i upgrade in December.

I have the Sony Xperia C, nice phone overall.
I missed my pocket and the phone dropped a couple feet and had a nasty fall on to a paved pathway, screen completely cracked meant it had to go in for repairs.
Quote accepted and R2500 later I eagerly wait for my phone to come back.

I also got quoted that for my bros screen (aka spiderweb) mines not badly cracked so its fine. I found a place in Jozi that does it for about R600

Would love to get myself a new Android device.
What I currently have are:

Ok, got my Nokia Lumia 930 up and running. Basic and simple, but nice. Something to get used to. Not a big fan of the keyboard and no Snapscan app available :(. Whatsapp also works a little unconfortable, but maybe I'm just not used to it yet. On the plus side, I got unlimited free Skype calls to anywhere in the world for 3 months. Now just to find someone international to phone :p

Any suggestions for useful apps on the Windows store to look out for?

I will give more feedback once I've properly used the phone for calls and stuff.
 
The keyboard on the 930 is just as bad as the one on the 920. Thin and tall letters make life difficult.
 
I have the Sony Xperia Z1 and its camera quality is pretty impressive. There's an LED flash and f/2.0 G lens combined with the sensor as well. There's also a manual mode with the ability to take sweeping panorama shots, plus a burst mode to take 30 shots continuously at one go. Even if you take the Z1 underwater, it offers surprisingly decent results. With the flash on, the photos come out to be reasonably clear. Some additional features along with the camera are: Social Live - lets you stream live video directly onto facebook; InfoEye - uses the camera to scan items like landmarks or a book to generate information about the object; and Picture Effect - using which you can add borders, filters, fish-eye look and AR effects to add virtual scenes like a moving dinosaur or masquerade masks.
