Which phone ?

**mellors** · 01-09-12, 20:35

Need some impartial advice instead of the sales talk you get in the shop.
To be honest up until recently i've been pretty much a phone call and text man (I have a Sony...something, old style key pad etc) Recently i've been using social media sites (FB, Messenger etc) a lot more (its not easy being a stalker these days !), for work and mindless drivel.
Whats a good phone to go for as the next step up, as you can probably tell i'm not very techy, but a few good apps, music, camera etc would be good. oh,and it has to be slim and light and pre-pay

I'm in a similar situation and I've been advised to get an android phone and apparently the Samsung ones are pretty good to start with. If you want to go for an iphone, apparently there is a new one out this month, so best to wait until then, as it will drive older versions prices down.

Samsung Galaxy is a pretty good phone. Got youtube, FB, Google Maps, Internet connection, MP3 player, camera etc.
Weighs about the same as a packet of cigarettes.
Had a Blackberry before that, which wasn't bad either.

I have a blackberry and I don't like it. I hate the qwerty board on it.

blackberry's are rubbish for the battery it dies very quick. The galaxy samsung is meant to be a good one or try the iphone but the battery can go quick too. have a look at the galaxy as i know the battery is pretty good as my friend just got one. Good luck.

I like my Blackberry, but as has been pointed out the battery life steadily drains and deteriorates over the lifetime of the phone, but it's an affordable professional phone for keeping in touch with social networks, email, etc. and there are tons of very clever and useful apps available for free.

Gonna have to be predictable and say the iPhone.Theres always an android v Apple debate as soon as anyone mentions phones,but till i find an android with a user interface as simple and functional as an iPhone ill stick with Apple(i havent seen any that are a genuine threat to Apple).Most of all though,ALL other touchscreen phones ive ever tried have an infuriating habit of falsely selecting options you dont want while trying to scroll/navigate through the screens.In all honesty though the iPhone battery aint great if wireless/3G/Location services are left running all the time...i cant speak for android battery life however.

Is that one step up from talking to yourself?

Kate, that would be the first sign of madness! I only talk to myself when I'm looking in the mirror
