How 'slightly'?
If you need to move daily from A to B and back, why buy Polo if you can buy Golf? Why buy a one year old Polo if you can buy a brand new one?
If you need a phone for "for calls, txt, photos music and internet", why is it S3 that you need? For this purpose, the only real advantage against S2 is the screen 1/2" bigger and with a higher resolution . If the OP does need this, it is worth considering S3, but not because it is some "latest version".

I agree Grumbler, If I had to buy a Focus I'd buy the one most useful for me and not a ST.

Fine I take it back, he should buy a Nokia 5110 so he can save a few quid. We're talking about a difference of maybe £100 over two years, not the difference between a new Golf and a banger

£216 according to the op

Does it play music and take photos?

Your arguement seems to be to just get the top of the range option regardless of cost, even if the extra features are of no use to me. And £100 over 2 years will equate to approx 12% of the overall contract price which is a considerable factor to me, might even be more depending on resale value

The s2 is still a very powerful phone

Get the S3! Can't wait to upgrade my S2. Obviously a lot of Apple brainwashed iPhone users on here. Who wouldn't want a nice slim phone with big screen and a brilliant display for the same price as an iPhone 'brick' which has a small dim screen!!

Where? You are the first one who mentioned Apple and iPhone in this thread.

Read between the lines! Some people won't want to admit that they have been brainwashed into buying an iPhone brick now that Samsung have got the 'ice cream wafer'!!!

If you've got your wallet set on an S2 then remember that the price will plummet once the S3 launches, not many people want old tech
