    select 12 months and you'll see it at the bottom...

    if you want it in black its £50 more for some reason?


    I'm surely tempted by this. I do like my iPhone, for me, it just works. But it doesn't nothing that android can't. Only way I'd upgrade to a 4S is if it was free on a twelve month contract, which will never happen. I refuse to pay money for a barely updated phone.

    I wouldn't recommend a 24 month contract at the moment given than in about 6 months time at most it's likely that there will be quad-cores about. Having said that, the Galaxy S2 is a great phone (I've had one since they came out). Frankly if I were in the market for a powerful phone now I'd probably decide to sit tight for a bit instead and see what happens early next year...

    So MSE why is it you prefer the iphone over all its competitors and give it free adverts?
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    It's a discussion about the release of a new phone. I'm sure Samsung will get a thread when their new release gets announced.

    If you don't like it then don't read it?

    Simple concept no?

    Jeeez no need for anyone to get upset over anything... just trying to help a current iPhone owner who isn't impressed enough by the new 4S to update (so reasonably on topic I think :p) whether to switch to another manufacturer/OS or not - I think it's worth waiting for a while and I've said why, after that it's absolutely none of my concern or business what people decide to do :) and you never know the iPhone 5 could even be announced in a few months time for all we know :rotfl:

    Barely updated? I think you should look beyond the case that that hardware sits in.

    Looks exactly the same. Has a faster processor. An 8mp camera instead of a 5mp camera and a bit more ram. Woo. A year to come up with that is laughable.
