Looking for your recommendations pls on a new smart phone & contact.

I'm not into the latest fashion or the geekness, just need some basic requirements such as
Decent camera
Decent memory
Reliability
Decentish battery life

I'm not brand or provider loyal, currently had an iPhone with 3 for last 3 yrs and all been ok.

My usage req
Unlimited internet
Few SMS
200-300 mins calls

Looking to spend cica £30 pm on upto 2yr contract.

Your all probably bored krapless of this Q by now,but if you can give me your input much appreciated

Have a look at the Nokia's running windows, they seem as cheap as chips at the most and fit all your criteria.

Why not just keep your iPhone then and replace the battery if needed?
What's the point in wasting ~24x£20?

It has crossed my mind & funny enough the battery is going down hill rapidly and I can get another battery for a fiver,but the camera on it is krap and the Memo I think is 8gb which means have to keep downloading pics to PC to release some memo which I can't be fussed doing all the time.
Currently paying £15 pm so would only work out another £15 pm, admittedly that's double what it is now, so looking at like that fair comment

Had a look at the Nokia and looks do the job for I want especially with 40 mega pix camera and 32gb mem

Why not use dropbox to automatically upload photos?

deano72_2

Is that similar to google drive? That's what use and I think that uses up memory aswell!

The point is you can delete them from the phone after uploading

HTC One is fantastic phone.

S3 would be good value at the moment if you're not interested in the latest phone?

Thanks all.
I have deleted photos after transferring them into google drive but google takes up 2.4gb

Mind made up and going for Nokia 1020 main factor is camer & the memory 32g

Just need to decide between O2 & 3, same price but 02 give unlimited mins

I have s4 for work which has a decent camera,but feel the Nokia camera will be one step ahead.

Well it turns out I'm more of a phone geek than I thought.looked and held the 1020 and it's bit big and the camera sticks out bit for my likening, also I'm prone to dropping my phones and rarely go for more than 6mnts without without smashing the screen but the Nokia looked like it couldn't take a beating.so after lengthy discussion with the sales chap have decided on the sony z1 compact, it has decent write up and some say the camera is better than 1020 and can slot 64memo card in. Also it's not a lot bigger than my current iPhone so size is comfy in the pocket.
