Ring Ring!! Time for a new phone.

My son and wife have the Galaxy S2 and swear its better than the iPhone 4 and simply the best phone theyve ever had. Personally, Ive got a Nokia Lumia Windows phone. The market is shit when compared to Android or iTunes, but I love the interconnectivity with my 360. Plus all the games have achievements which are linked to your Live account too. Oh yeah, and its got built in Office (Excel, Word, Powerpoint etc). I really like the metro style live tiles, which are animated and alive, showing basic info (ie the weather tile uses location data to let you know the temperature & weather where you are)

Best of all free phone from O2, unlimited texts, 200 minutes anytime any network, 500MB data allowance for £21.50 a month.

 

HTC One S. Just got it Saturday due to contract upgrade... used to have a desire s before that.

 

I have the HTC One X which was the first quad core phone on the market, I'm more then happy glad I gave up the I Phone.

 

had an S2, couldn't use it properly, gave it to one of my kids, end of story.
Went out and bought a galaxy Ace 2, still can't use it properly but i'm hanging on to it for now as i just can't afford to keep giving my phones away
What the hell happened to phones being phones instead of all this techno mullarky
Sometimes i think that i'm living in the wrong era and would have been much more at ease in the forties or fifties where the most technical piece of equipment that i would have had to worry about, would have been an old gramaphone or valve radio

 

My dad was so tight I had to buy my own stereo. Being at school, all I could afford with the measly pocket money he gave me was a 2nd hand stereo from a charity shop that scratched every record it played. It was one of them stereos where the records were bigger than the record player I had to put up with that shit until I started work and bought myself a half decent one, and then the gits bring out cds!!

 

I remember my first record player, it was a DECCA and everything you needed was there in that one black box
Still sounded shit though, but at the time i didnt care as it meant that i could listen to all those K TEL compilation albums that my older sisters owned at the end of the sixties/begining of the seventies.

OK, time to take off the rose tinted glasses i think

 

I have a nokia 6103, you might have to look in a museum to see that one anywhere,I only have it because it was being given away free at work when they upgraded. It has many functions, it is a Phone AND it texts, how cool is that.

When it comes to phones I like to keep it pure Google and AOSP so I have the Galaxy Nexus. By far and away the best phone I have ever owned/used by a considerable margin! Highly recommend it if you really want to see what Android is capable of!

 

My contract expires at the end of the month . My phone is a Sony android Xperia X10 and I'm pretty happy with it. It has good internet accesss, takes great pictures and has a nice big touch screen.
Been looking around to see what to replace it with and TBH cant think of a reason to replace it at the moment.
My son now uses GiffGaff. Its run by O2 and he's really happy with it.
As I dont use many minutes talking on it I reckon £10 a month will get me everything I need. Unlimited internet, Texts and 250 mins.

Can anyone convince me NOT to get a giffGaff sim card, or is it a good idea for a low call user like myself?

 

No idea what giffGaff are like or whose services they piggy back but when it came to my contract expiring I didn't upgrade either as I'm happy with the handset. I went to a SIM only contract with T-Mobile for about £10 a month.

 

If your happy with the phone sim only is the best idea it normally half's your current contract price.

@Col as an ex iPhone user and a new Android user I can't see myself going back to apple. Although there reliable there a little too restricted for me. Since getting new android phone I realised just how restricted iPhone are.

TBH if your just gonna use it as a phone then it good but for Movies and music android has mOre decoders so you can throw most video formats on it and it will work.

 

I wouldnt go back to Apple now. The iPhone is just too overpriced, and is even to start looking dated now.

After seeing Android in action thatll be my next phone. In about a year and a half though!!

 

I can actually get 150 mins a month with 250 ms internet from orange for £7.00. So I looked at my usage over the last 6 months and found that I only once went over 150 mins and my average internet usage was 113mb. So thats an option.
Also looked on price comparison sites and I can get a new phone , samsung, erricsson or HTC with loads more minutes than I use for about £13.50 a month.

 

It looks like I am one of the few that have never owned a mobile phone.
