I want an EE phone next I think. Well anything other than o2.
S4 mate.Friend brought hers around 2 days ago.Fucking awesome.

Shes on that 4g ee thingy yes mate.. It's fucking lightening,even when she doesn't connect via wireless.
I just don't like Apple phones mate,the apps look like they were designed by children.
I am a massive Samsung fan anyway and the Android operating system shits all over Apple for me (And I'm no techy)!!

The iPhone 5 is still the most expensive phone but the HTC One, S4 and Xperia Z all have far better specs with Quad Core processors, 1080p screens with a PPI exceeding 440, and 2GB of RAM. That compares to the iPhone 5's dual-core, 1 GB of RAM, sub-HD (not even 720p much less 1080p) and a PPI of 326. So you pay more, for a lot less. Why? I'm sure some people prefer iOS and the App Store. Fine; personal preference. But could you argue iOS is better than Android? I certainly don't think so.crooky said:Love the hate for Apple products. I honestly think the iPhone is the best phone, perhaps it's a little unimaginative in regards to it still not having widgets and perhaps the screen isn't quite as big as I'd like but all round it's a great package. The main problem for me is that it's just too expensive IMO and the extra premium isn't worth it.
Well yeah the iPhone 5 will be dated compared to phones released this year but I'm sure the new one will match those specs. Plus iOS does seem to run better even with worse specs than Android from experience anyway. I've got a Nexus 4 which has the 2GB of RAM, quad core etc but even then, very occasionally it'll lag when you move between home screens whereas iOS seems to be rock solid.
In my opinion the App Store is better than the Google Play Store without doubt especially for games. But possibly the best thing about the iPhone is the resell value it holds. Stick it in a case and a few screen protectors and it'll be still worth over £200 easy in two years time which means you do get back some of/most of the premium you paid in the first place.

The iPhone could have had all the things Skash mentioned or even close but they decided to cheat the consumer once again. This is the reason there sales have started to fall and the reason I think the iPhone 6 will actually be decent
All old smart phones are worth good money because of the materials inside that are becoming near on priceless

so what about networks then, I'm with Vodafone atm but i can never get a signal when I'm at home. I was going to go to o2 until bill just said that plus o2 is blue which i know is a ridiculous reason
Been on 3 now for about a year, on the One Plan. Works fine for me, and having truly unlimited data (and being able to tether) is excellent.
Got it on iPhone 5, but seriously considering a swap to the S4 or HTC as i'm bored of it now!!

o2 and orange are the only ones that I`ve found to work out in the middle of nowhere . I left orange years ago as their customer service is shit , have been with o2 after trying the others . I got a sony experia from carphone warehouse lately no dipper (they wanted £50 at first I wasn't paying for a phone as the cost is built into the contract ) o2 charge £460 . So I got the phone with no dipper . Quality phone and computer ,I`d gone in to buy the samsung but got a play with the salespersons own phone and it is right for my needs .

I've just bought a nexus 4 from google and going to switch to one of those £10 a month sim only deals. £240 for the phone so after the first year it will have paid for itself with what I'll save on current contract.
