Ideas wanted for best smartphone

I am leaving vodafone after a lifetime, but want to upgrade to a smartphone, ie iphone, blackberry

Any advice on tariffs or deals?

You question makes no sense really. There are dozens of smartphones, if not hundreds. Is your budged unlimited?
iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note and, possibly, Google Nexus 4 are believed to be the 'best'. Top of the range Sony and HTC phones are very good too.
Decide what you want, then look for a deal that will depend on your airtime requirements.

Buy any phone you like. Then go PAYG for a worry free mobile experience that will never impact your credit file (or rating).

You need to give a bit more info for people to be able to help.

Do you want PAYG or contract?

What is your usage like?

What's your budget?

What do you want/need your phone to do?

Iphone or Samsung, PAYG, as Vodafone changed my tariff, and were trying to charge me over £800 last year, and it was a business tariff, which I didn't change it, and they also accused me of being away on holiday and using it.... I had to fight with them, and they did not even offer me an apology. If I went contract again, I would use it for texting, taking pictures, talktime, everything. I hear the Samsung is very good, and the HTC's

You will not find any deals on PAYG/sim-free top of the range phones.
For S3 see Samsung s3 sim free and HUKD.
For iPhone see http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/home/shop_iphone
Be prepared to pay about £400+.

It makes no sense to suggest airtime deals before you answer the questions asked, but you can check Giffgaff and Ovivo meanwhile.

Get a Google nexus 4.. Very cheap as top end smartphones go, if you buy direct from Google

Any idea when the nexus 4 will be in stock anyone?
