    I've had the S3 since a month after release date. It's on a contract with Dial-a-phone where I got £31 a month for 900 mins ult text and 2gb data. I then got £144 cashback which makes the deal £26 a month.

    The phone is insured through my Halifax account which costs £10 a month for 2 phones, Breakdown cover, travel insurance and Home Emergency call out.

    What would I say to people looking to buy? It blows the iPhone out of the water in specs all bar resolution and build quality. However, if you are on MSE< and looking for a deal, get the Galaxy S2. It is still a cracking phone, can be had for peanuts and the upgrade to the S3 really isn't that big.

    HTH

    The S2 also suffers the sudden death.

    Husband had first replacement of phone for this issue yesterday. It has the dodgy chip, so at some point will suffer the same fate. Samsung know there's a massive problem but aren't taking any preventative action.

    Agreed, it is a huge problem, well documented on the XDA and Android forums, but Samsung don't even acknowledge it as an issue. And I believe early versions of the Note 2 has it aswell
    Debt free and staying that way! :beer:
