Mobile phone upgrade advice

[Dan22]

Well, iv'e just logged onto my Vodafone account and noticed i can now upgrade my phone.
I currently use a Blackberry Curve which seems to cater for my needs just fine. As i don't tend to get too excited about mobile phones i am wondering if any of you guys can advise me of a suitable upgrade.

My options to fit in with my price plan for a free phone are:

Samsung Galaxy S2 or S3
iphone 4 (not 4s) can i get emails on the go like the BB curve?
Blackberry Bold 9900
HTC One X+
Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Sony Xperia T

You advise would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan. :D

S3 a great smart phone I used to be a apple fan boi, dont get me wrong apple is stil good but withan andriod phone there is so much more flexibility to do more & the apps are great, I just downloaded Nav free a great free sat nav app thats as good as tom tom.

Overall you cant go wrong with an S3 if you ask me.

S3 or one x are both fantastic phones and very evenly matched. Can't go wrong with either. I went one x as it suits me a little better and I love it but it was a hard choice between the 2. The galaxy note 2 is also a great bit of kit if you don't mind the size.

Whatever you get I'd highly recommend a wet screen protector and most of all a good case. Otter box commuter has served me very well. I know loads of people with broken screens after a small drop. The Otter box case adds good shock absorption and mine doesn't have a scratch after many big falls. Doesn't add too much bulk either.

I would say its between the note 2 and S3 depending on what you think of the size etc

Since you already have BB you may want to stay on the platform, e.g. continue to use BBM and apps you already have. I have BB 9900 and it's absolutely great, wouldn't replace it with iPhone nor Samsung. It's also because I like to be "a little different" from the crowd, although the platform could do with better/more apps.

The keyboard and email handling capabilities in 9900 are superb, battery live up to 2 days if I don't use WiFi much. Sublime build quality and very comfortable to use.

Forgot to say you get all the added advantages of push notifications on the s3 so you wont miss any forums posts etc etc plus with a bigger screen I find its massively easier to browse forums & generally use. In addition to that whilst blackberry are different to most other mobile phone suppliers I'd be more comfortable with having a phone that I have the piece of mind knowing that the manufacturer is not struggling. Not having a dig at the above post by Bronek.


if your going to get a upgrade that thats going to i imagine sign you up for another 2 years with Vodaphone .. Its piece of mind thats all Im saying.

Don't know anything about BB but I have had my Galaxy Note V1 for 6 months now and absolutely love it. Sure it is big but I don't find it too big for everyday phone use and yet it is big enough for me to sell my iPad and just use the Note for everything when away from my desk.

I went to the shop to buy the S3 and walked away with the Note and never regretted it for a single moment.

This is the kind of thing that is dead easy with the Note:

Took photo, zoomed, cropped and annotated on phone then uploaded to Flickr, included BBCode in post. Whole thing took just a few minutes from start to finish.

Re: Mobile phone upgrade advice

I upgraded from iphone4 to the S3. much prefer the S3. We also have an iphone 5, but would still choose the S3.

Xperia T is a nice phone, I have a galaxy s2 and it's been great im tempted to swap it for the Xperia. The market is dominated by Samsung and apple at the moment it's quite easy to be drawn away from everything else. Go into a shop and Have a play on each one.

Samsung always floats my boat......then HTC.
