    I have the S3, and after about 3 months of use a dark spot appeared in the photos I was taking... Think the spot is like inside the lens so cannot get rid of it...
    but otherwise its a good phone... text is nice and big..

    S5 is due out this Springtime so if you can wait it should push down the prices of previous models.

    Also Samsung admitted that the S4 was not a great deal different to the S3 and that is something they are planning to rectify on the S5.

    So the S3 would be a good option if the price difference is significant.

    Just wanted to say thank you for the info. My 2 yr orange contract is up on 8 Feb and I was going to plump for S4 on a new contact. But reading this I've just ordered a free giffgaff SIM and I'm going to use them for a few months with my existing S2 until the S5 is out and then weigh up the best options. Thank you all!

    If you got the T-Mobile free sim only contract glitch last year (November?), just a warning to keep an eye on your bills. They just charged me £10.10 by direct debit for the contract monthly charge :O I managed to get it reversed, but took a call and some hassle last night as they had f!ed up my online account access.

    This is the long story I just posted on the Expired T-Mobile glitch thread


    Another warning here to keep an eye on your T-Mobile bills / bank accounts. I had £10.10 taken out of my bank account the other day. I logged in to check my online T-Mobile account and found I could no longer do so nor retrieve my password - they had stuffed it up completely (it didn't recognise my number, probably a glitch from it being a previous T-Mobile number that was transferred out and then in again). A call got them to clear my account.

    I then queried the £10.10 charge which was showing as "SIM Only £8 - 12M". I told them my contract was free. They put me on hold for a few minutes then agreed - yes, it was free, so the charge was bogus (it had been coded as an "early cancellation fee", which is absolute rubbish.

    It was reversed, so they did the right thing in the end, but keep an eye on your bills!

    £120 cashback cpw

    just had to remove 2 posts that had an Amazon affiliate link in them (one had posted the link, another had quoted it)

    Affiliate links aren't allowed on MSE at all. (for your info Amazon ones are easy to spot - they contain a -21 in the link)
