    Mind you since I'm on PAYG I suppose I could just transfer my number to Tesco mobile since they seem to use O2 network so wont loose coverage.

    You can, you will probably find them cheaper as well.

  • After two years with an Android phone, I switched to iPhone last month. I liked my Android phone, but the iPhone experience is very much better than smartphone. iPhone makes me realize how great a job Apple has done.

    Thanks,
  • There are some really good offers around on Lumia /windows phones which if you just want basic apps would be fine.

    The 'drive' app is preloaded and pretty good as a satnav.

    If you are currently on O2 pay as you go then you should be able to 'upgrade' with carphone warehouse and get a Lumia 535 for under £50 - it will be on a par with the Moto G.

    I really loved my windows phones and despite the bad rep for apps I actually miss some of the functionality now I have moved to android (e.g the fabulous inbuilt calendar and calendar notifications).

    535 is probably the best budget option, 520 and530 are cheaper but less good, 735 is more expensive but has a better camera and 4g.
  • I forgot the 635 - available on upgrade too. Better internals than the 520/530, also has 4g.

    535 - no 4g but has got camera flash. 635 no flash and smaller screen

    Long story short - worth considering a windows phone - decent ones seem cheaper than decent android/iphone alternatives.

    Though worth probably trying to get a hands on to see if you like them

    If anyone on Android wants it, it's now available free as a beta (but working perfectly) from the Play Store as Nokia Here.

    Downloadable maps for offline use as well.

    I prefer Nav Free as a free Sat Nav app.
