Not just that, what is OP's definition of "value". If you want to call, send messages and facebook anyone will do.

Not at all, criticize as much as you want to.
Just remember, what you perceive as "bloatware" might actually be useful and a non-issue for normal consumers.
You need to put your consumer hat on and take off the non-official-EWN-Windows-app one.

Play nice Rob lol... And its not like you can't get those same type of Widgets on a non bloated handset.
Eg how many of those bloatware apps that are pre installed do you actually use?

Harping on the same old s*** typical of fanboys of a pathetic and fashionably late to the party OS.

I actually use a few of the Samsung widgets, with the weather one my absolute fav on my S5.
Also use the video player, music player, favourite contacts, alarm clock, torch & SPlanner widgets - non-negotiable for me.
Got used to it on my Galaxy S2 & find myself a bit irritated if I don't have them all at my fingertips.
But Samsung created the weather widget on my gold S5 specifically for me.
And there you go with a typical fanboi response yourself. How boring.

Depends what you looking for and what your budget is. Top of the range or budget category. A Good affordable one would be Acer smartphones, they have quite a variety models in the R 1500 - R 2500 mark. Acer is new in the market, they are trusted brand, famous brand for making PC hardware products from the same country as Asus, HTC etc.
LG G2 From R 4 670
LG Google Nexus 5 From R 4 820
Sony Xperia Z1 \ Compact From R 4 940
Motorola Moto G from R 2 890
Acer Liquid E700 Trio R 2 803
Acer Liquid E3 R 2 380
