It is time to upgrade my phone.

What do the great and good of NSC recommend. Galaxy, Iphone (older one) , HTC or Nokia?

I am loathed to go the iphone, because I have nothing else apple and don't really want to get involved with itunes.

Anyone have anything they think is fantastic?

I and my wife both have Samsung's and they're great phones. My advice to people is if you are already locked in with apple, then stick with them, if not save yourself some money and go android, so in your case look at the galaxy.

I am on Vodaphone (Australia)usually can do a deal over the phone with them.

I am currently using an HTC desire with a keyboard and am leaning towards the htc but might have a closer look at the sony as it is cheaper.

It depends what you want it for. I have a Nokia windows phone and it has great integration with the Office products I use for work, however the app store is a little thin. Mrs has an iphone and I have to say I really like it. I've been opposed to the whole Apple domination thing, but we have this iphone and an ipad, and both are great!
I should add, I pay £14 per month for the iphone, on a 2 year deal. 300 mins, 300 texts and 500Mb data

I want a good all round phone really. I use my current one a lot to listen to podcasts and it gets dropped a lot (i listen in bed to help fall asleep) but also want to surf, text and maybe even speak to people using my voice.

To be honest I am leaning towards the Sony Xperia z as it is free on my plan whereas the HTC one will cost me $7.50 a month and the Galaxy s will cost $6.50. I have not yet spoken to vodaphone yet as they often offer a better deal when you talk to them.

When I asked this question NSC pointed me in the direction of a £99 Nokia 610, and £10 a month on Giffgaff, happy days.

I looked the other day and Nokia now have 2 better £100 phones, it all works well for me.

I have just ordered the Sony as they wouldn't budge on the prices quoted (already discounted sir!!)

Thanks for the advice!

I have recently gone from a HTC Desire to a Samsung Galaxy, couldn't decide between the HTC One and the S4 but went for the latter as it was on offer so a fiver a month cheaper and no initial fee, very pleased with the phone, and its still the best smartphone on Which.
