    Gordon hose, you may be able to ask o2 to give you an extra 250 same network mins on the tariff you are on. I was able to get extra 500m just by asking.

    I won't use them chief! When I upgraded the advisor told me I average 3 mins a month in calls :rotfl::rotfl:

    Must just chime in and say i'm not a samsung fan so i am going for the sony xperia s when it comes out at the weekend. Similar specs to the s2 but it just looks nicer for me. CAmera and screen + hdmi output wins it for me.
    Does all the other things that you need it to do such as sat nav etc.

    Before going for android phone search in google: malware android also check channel 4 android to make sure you are ok with this.

    The free google satnav use data so if you go over the limit you may end up paying a lot. Also no good if you are going to France, USA or other places. Tomtom is not available for android.

    A lot of on demand tv apps are not available for android.

    Not all apps work with all android phones due to many size of screens and os versions.

    Also check the size of S2 as some people find it too big.

    Don't look at the CPU speed, it's not important, look at what type of apps you may use and check to make sure available for whatever phone you want.

    let me guess should we all get iphones as they are perfect:eek:
  • Just recently upgraded with T-Mobile to a Nokia Lumia 800 free of charge, £15.50 per month for 600 mins, unlimited texts. Not sure of internetusage but its a lot anyway.

    I researched all the other offers including cashback which were better than t-mobiles online deals, so I called t-mobile cancellations and told I wanted my PAT/PAK code to move to another company and me what they best deal I was offered. They bettered it straight away.

    Research it, pick the phone and deal you want, phone them and they'll probs better it.

    T mobile wouldn't budge at all on any deals, I was offered rubbish deals. Cancelled with them.

    Went for the iphone afterall, £30pm with three.

    Thanks for the help though.

    There's no malware on my Android phone ;)

    I've changed my position on the iPhone in recent weeks. After having an iPhone since the release of the first one, I now believe the iPhone to be far, far too restrictive.

    I now have a Samsung Galaxy S2, and wish I'd made the change earlier. It's better by far! I'll never have another iPhone.
