    There's no point getting too hung up on the specs. There's a lot more to a phone than just the specification.

    Such as???
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    The OS and how well tweaked and refined it is.

    Erm...I think you'll find I mentioned the OS already. (and surely the OS is part of the specification...)

    Looking at the new Android OS update to Ice Cream Sandwich its mighty impressive and will raise an already top notch phone by another few notches .SGS2 is confirmed to get the update Samsung hope to release the update in December .

    Yeah, it's just a shame there's no flash support for ICS yet. Some Nexus owners are going mad...

    Where the best deals at the moment for the XE? :)

    Seen some saying £23 p/m with £xxx cashback but the guy on o2 retentions said that you'd pay a larger month fee and have to retrieve the cashback every few months, which when you do, will mean that you've effectively paid £23 p/m, that true?

    I ordered my XE from Phones4u yesterday as a new customer on O2 and got a free handset, 200 mins, unlimited texts and 500MB data for £21.50 per month.

    The guy said I could have had that tariff as an upgrade rather than a new customer however it would cost £27 per month and the only benefit being I would be able to keep my old number, whereas with the new customer deal I would have to get a new one.

    That's real good :)

    You can change your number over to any phone or network can't you?

    Apparently not with the same network or something - I'm going to speak to O2 when I phone up to cancel my current contract.

    Can I be cheeky and ask that if you decide to take an offer from Phones4u that I can recommend you? :)

    Hmm...I need to look into that then as I ain't going to the trouble of changing my number.

    I probs won't get it from Phones4U but will bear that in mind :)

    Any other thoughts guys and girls? :)
