Finally the end of my contract is coming up (24months with Three) and it is about time my poor old Galaxy S is upgraded, it's had a hard life but has served me well.
Ideally I want a Galaxy SIII, but have lots of options and could even go for the Galaxy S2 and I've heard good things about the HTC One X, I can't make a decision.
Upgrade to S3 with another 24month Three contract @ £34pm, free hand set
Buy Sim free hand set and use my Giff Gaff sim @ £10pm + £500 for phone.
Buy used S2 for about £250 + £10pm giffgaff
etc
My work pays me £25pm towards my phone, so either way it doesnt cost me much.
What phones are you guys on at the moment and what would you choose now?
Cheers
p.s. no SteveJobs phones...
For me it would either be the HTC One X or the S3. The HTC has the better screen but the S3 seems to be better software wise out of the box (not that it matters as the 1st thing I would do is root and cyanogen it).
I would go the pay for the phone and get a £10 giffgaff sim. What I'm planning to do soon as my contract is up.
I have the One X and love it. The initial battery issues I had have been solved by keeping the screen dimmed (full brightness destroys the battery).
My workmate has the S3 and i've played with it a lot.
In all honesty I cant choose between them, there are minor points on both sides. However when you look at the current contract price difference, for me, it makes the One X the easy choice.
4s or wait for the 5

Not even a white tombstone? Don't blame you... :wave:
pshhh
ditch the reverse snobbery - just get an iphone and realise that everything else worth getting out there is merely a poor imitation of it
(even if the poor imitation technically has better specs/features :D )
Apple invented the mobile phone don't you know.

I think I'm set on the S3, just waiting for my local Three shop to get the blue one in stock.
Not sure about Cyan mod'ing it, only just been bothered doing it to my Galaxy S1 and I'm not that impressed so far.
On the newer phones it is a bit meh as it adds nothing (full backup is prob the only thing that I use that requires root) I just do it because I can... On older phones its great because you can keep up to date when official updates stop coming :)
