There's more but I forget

Try Lomogram when you get it It's pretty decent, better than instagram in my opinion without the social network part.

Haven't heard anything about memory cards. What about Sandisk?

Download "Connectivity Shortcuts" app and pin WiFi, Data, BT shortcuts to the homescreen and turn them off when not using them. Also the brighter your screen is the shorter the battery life, so keep it down if you want it to last.

There's an unofficial instagram app called itsdagram, seems to work well.

otherwise I'd recommend Forecast for your weather, baconit for time wasting, vgbc8 for playing old gameboy games, and mixtapes for free streaming music. Enjoy!

Get the Facebook beta app too much better than the stock app

Lads cracking help! Loving the new phone the most annoying is screen rotation of the screen and where the lock button is only downfall,

The lack of a rotation lock is a PITA. I mean if its a landscape only app just start in landscape but if it runs in portrait let us lock it in portrait!! Fingers crossed its addressed in the comming update
