Hi

I'm thinking of getting a new phone - but there are so many out there and i'm totally bamboozled..


I don't make many calls.. text alot.. and want to do a bit of surfing, facebook, twitter... (I don't want it to be too slow for browsing.. or costing extra - does blueberry cost more to use the web.. as I say I'm a little confused!)

I like predictive text

I was looking at buying a handset and using a payandgo- as I dont like the idea of running up big bills... But perhaps a contract would work out better...

so any advice on a good phone? (I'm currently using a dodgy old nokia..if htat makes any difference?)

So which phone should be for me

    Avoid orange and t mobile owned by orange, they have large coverage, but bad customer relations if have problems.

    You would be better getting an unlocked phone for any network and then getting a giff gaff sim, cheaper :)
    Put giff gaff into search engine and research what they give, you might be suprised and they are popular with many on here.

    Id recommend a Blackberry. I have an Orange contract one (never had ANY problems with CS) and pay £27 a month for 300 mins, unlimited texts and ulimited data

    Blackberry dont have the same range of apps as iphones etc but you can browse no problem, and they have apps for twitter and Facebook etc
