I know 3 do the best deal, 2000 minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited Internet and £65 for the phone that's £35 a month, but I found 3 awful when I had them albeit it was when they first came about.

Three do have the best deals about for iPhone now... Trouble is, they know it too! I had quite a discussion with them when it was time for upgrading but got what I wanted in the end :y :y

I find that they (generally) have very good coverage now days for most of the population. It's very patchy at my house, but all the networks are.

If you get a Galaxy, avoid the latest firmware for now, its utter shite (shame, as previous was OK).

About the cheapest Android is one call San Fransico - about £100 on PAYG.  Not the best implementation though (that has to go to the previous firmware'd Galaxy).


Or stick with you're old Windows phone ;)

Interesting... I've found it as good, if not better, signal wise as any of my previous smartphones :y

The Android fanboyz at work say it has issues, based around the fact that they have had to kludge Android on it (Android is not available for anything other than mobiles, and according to the head honcho in charge of development never will be).


...mind you, Google said there was never going to be a new Google phone...

i have been with them since the begining, was crap then so i had 2 phones but ive stuck with them and i think it is excellent now. my internet speed from my phone to laptop by bluetooth is faster than the dongle for some reason.

Samsung Galaxy's are shite end off, I was an Android user for well over a year after being on Windows Mobile (custom build)

iPhone is much more polished experience, handsets better built, nicer to use, app store is far superior. Android market is one its biggest problems, iTunes (although crap) allows for a much better experience to browse apps
