    Samsung Galaxy S2 which is available in 3weeks time!

    Why? Fastest, thinnest dual core phone released with the latest android software.

    The newest HTC (think its the Desire HD S or Z or something!) on a giff-gaff £10 deal but ideally the handset would come free with the sim :D

    Ideally and impossible, I know I know.... (think I'll be waiting a long while for that one!)

    Hi jenniewb, could that be the HTC Incredible S ? Personally I would have the samsung galaxy s / the galaxy s2 / nokia n8 or the HTC you mention , I research what I buy and do not just follow the sheep who just get the iphone because its a 'status' symbol. Of the networks I prefer t-mobile however 3 comes a close 2nd. They have the best online accounting and 'in my area' have the best signal coverage.

    Sad to say it - it would be iphone 32gig wotsit on 3 - mostly just to see what the fuss is about - but given I have tried the ipods, nanos and do not rate them as highly as Creative products, I would most likely not like the iphone much.

    And then I would use it a couple of times and then go out and get the HTC Sensation through 3 or vodafone - its got the best spec other than the Samsung Galaxy S I think.

    Other than those two - must try the Sony Xeperia Play - PSP mobile - best for gaming probably, depends on battery life.

    Whatever decent Android phone HTC are churning out now and on O2. Been thinking about going to Blackberry too though.

    Will no doubt end up with neither because I want to pay as little as possible for my phone - my car finance only costs me £75 a month so to pay anything like that for a mobile phone seems ridiculous :D

    Hi, last week TescoMobile( O2 ) had the Samsung Galaxy S for free at £20/month with 750 mins/5000 texts and 1gb data, how much cheaper could you expect to get a decent phone for ? + £35 cashback through Quidco.
