Phone upgrade time

[Hacker Khan]

I have a S2 and it's great when it's working. But it's gone back twice now. Used to have a Nokia and that never went wrong, but it was very dull. Might be worth looking at the Nokia Lumias as Nokia finally have jumped onto the smart phone bandwagon and teamed up with Microsoft. But Nokia will go probably down the pan in the near future.

Samsung Galaxy Note2 here, had the original and it was brilliant, the 2 is equally as good but with better battery life, slow/high mo video capability (great for recording your swing), S-pen is more reactive and has a sharper screen. Dunno what a monthly contract will cost though.

not like you to be a brand whore gareth

Who?? Me?? :smirk:

Just very pleased with the performance and features of the iPhone. I own no other Apple products, but that may change

I am avoiding iphone in future, mp4 for vids, itunes etc gets on my nerves. Going windows or android if I do get a phone as drag and drop and avi playback are what I want! Mind you I will still need itunes for my ipad grrrrr

Samsung S3 or Note 2 are brilliant phones depending on primary use. Note is on the very big side but great if you want to do more things. S3 is a relatively big screen but very slim. Sits nicely in the pocket. Failing that the S3 mini is the other option. I love the large screen on the S3 for watching youtube vids and netflix. Also the fact I have a samsung TV connected to my network means I can stream videos etc taken on my phone and watch them on the big screen. Quality of the cam is excellent.

Android has the advantage of being more open and flexible. Easy to customize layout etc and apps are generally cheaper than iphone/windows equivalents.

Iphone wins for ease of use out of the box but the android system doesn't have a steep learning curve so getting used to it is easy.

Windows phones to me just has a horrible layout. I hate windows 8, hate the new xbox dashboard and the windows phones. Hardware on recent models is excellent though.

You could always try and hold out for the samsung s4 rumored to release in April and may include the "unbreakable" screen.

The wife's just got a Samsung SIII Mini which she really likes. Ideal if you don't want a big screen ( still 4" though, same as iphone5)

Might be worth waiting a month or so for the new Sony Z...

Pre-order and get a pair of earphone worth £299

I have the SIII, reckon its a great phone. Very happy with it, even though Vodafone have been a complete pain in the arse. Would gladly keep the phone, but change network if I could.

This is also interesting me a great deal for when my contract's up in the summer.

I think the waterproof capabilities will be of great interest to golfers who use a golf gps app on their phone.

Oh no! Not you as well Gibbo. If they can get to you they can get to anyone.

The in built satnav on the S3 is very good though.

I'd go samsung S3, I've got the S2 and it's great. Having said that HTC are good, had the desire a while back and couldn't fault it. Never done the Iphone route yet, they seem overpriced and lock you in to their services.

Another vote for the Galaxy S3 from me, took me a while to decide between that and the iPhone 5. I reckon I made the right choice. Amazing deals too, http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_contract_details.asp?ItemKey=609243&MPItemKey=608986&NetKey=4#offer_details
£50 cash back too, if you go via Quidco. The swapables are excellent to, I get full sky sports inc ESPN which you can watch 24 hrs a day for free and doesn't come off your allowance :thup:
