I want a huge screen, touch screen phone.

Was looking at iphones, then I saw the Galaxy on TV yesterday.

All the other tech bits & bobs, I don't care about. Just after the biggest screen, bearing that in mine are there other phones with 4" screens that are cheaper that I should look at:money:

    I very much doubt it. You're going to need at least about £300+ to get a large touchscreen.

    Well I wouldn't even say the iPhone has a huge touchscreen; it's only 3.5". Huge touchscreen to me would mean 4"+, which is your Galaxy S, Dell Streak, etc. The Galaxy S can be had for £319 on O2 PAYG in store only.

    3.5 & over is fine for me (I thought the iphone was 4").

    Thank you, will compare the Galaxy deal to the o2 recon iphone deals.

    you could probbaly get all the phones (except the iphone i think) for free or for a small outlay on a cheapish contract on upgrades for a 18m to 2y contract.
