Taking out a contract (SG S3) only to change your mind (iPhone 5)

Yeah, that's one of the reasons i'm so hesitant.

For example - i've paid up £50 for the TomTom app on the iPhone. It was one of the first apps i bought & has helped me a lot in the 2-3 years i've owned my 3GS.
Most, but not all apps, that i have on my iPhone & use regular can be had on android. There's a game that i play a LOT - on my breaks at work & the like, which isn't available on android either.

However one thing that grates with iPhone is if you buy an app that doesn't work, then you're not necessarily entitled to a refund. It seems they toss a coin to see whether you'll get one. I've been given a refund on an app that didn't work ONCE, but i've bought others that haven't worked & got no refund (& these weren't 99p apps either). I enquired & was told you have 15 minutes for a refund with android, which seems fair.

The reason Google Play offer the 15 min refund is due to number of Android phones with different screen size, power and memory. Due to this not all apps work with all phones. The 15 min is not enough as many apps including games crash half way, by that time you cannot have the refund.

With iPhone either app work with the phone or not. Because os update are common, the update sort the problem out if you have any.

If you do go for the Android you can replace the tomtom with Google satnav.

I prefer the s3 over the over priced iphone, that lags in technology every model they release. I would go for the s3, however the s3 is wide although thin

Rusty!

Congratulations on completely making that up.

As I understand it, if you order online or over the phone then you have a 14-day cooling off period with which to decide to cancel any contract.

You get 7 days under the DSR rules, the network may choose to extend it but thats a goodwill policy not a legal right.

I prefer my cheap g-shock to my friend's overpriced Omega... And my cheap VW Golf over my friend's overpriced BMW... And my cheap Dell PC over my friend's overpriced Alienware...

Only fandroids who are willing to pay ~ £500 for a phone, yet are happy to slag off others paying the same amount for a different phone. Ooops sorry, just realised the Samsung S3 comes encrusted with rare diamonds so its absolutely the 'bestest', the most value for money phone EVER made!:rotfl:

And as inevitable as it was ... we get into the Samsung -vs- Apple debate as though those who are debating must be employed by the company they're defending.

I wasn't even looking into a -vs- discussion either.
