How much are you willing to spend a month?
I've been paying £40 per month for the past two years (I know, I'm an idiot) so I'd like it to be around £30.Quote:

Personally I have the iPhone 4 and have no problems but some people don't like going with apple.
In my opinion don't go with an iPhone. Go with an Android phone (you can get a Samsung Galaxy S2 for that ppm) and you'll be far better off with the amount of customisation that you have out of the box.
On the other hand, getting an iPhone 4 will mean having a phone 2 generations behind for 18 months.Quote:

Yeah I'm not crazy about Apple and I think I'd rather go with a HTC for some reason.Quote:

I haven't heard anything about that and even when it does come out it'll be like £40 for 24 months minimum for the first few months will it not?Quote:

Loads of windows phones announced at CES if I remember correctly the nokia ones are pretty good.
Blackberry people will tell you they're good but they're too lazy to shift to touch screens which is a short transition and RIM will go bankrupt this year short of a miracle.
Should be more like an 18 month contract
Galaxy Nexus went for £40 for 18 months on most networks (Less on a couple like 3), I'd expect the same for the S3 as it's a very similar target market.
I swapped from an Android to a Blackberry a few months back, I have to say, I prefer the Blackberry. I LOVED my little Wildfire, and I thought I was insane when I swapped, however, It is yet to prove me wrong.Quote:

lol Wildfire was terrible. If you got one of the recent Androids you'd change your tune.
*decent, not necessarily recentQuote:

Yea lol. My mum has had a wildfire and it's the only android device I've been able to use, and it put me off it :P. But she got a Samsung galaxy ace today which is much better, and android doesn't seem to bad :) - although I'll be sticking with my iPhone :P.Quote:
