hey guys my phone contract is up for renewal and was wondering whats the best handset on the market at the moment or if somethings coming out soon thats worth waiting for, i currently have a iphone 3gs which has been brilliant so i could also just keep that and go for a free gift like another laptop or a tv :)

 

cheers for your help,

In true sad fashion I've had a quite few speed battles between my gf's Iphone 3 and the already mentioned Samsung Galaxy S2.

 

Out of the two, mine is best ;):D

 

Do what Abz has suggested though, and nip into a shop and have a fondle. Then after that, you could always try a few phones out.

Same boat, got a month or two to go before I upgrade ( 3GS here to) I'm quite tempted to wait and see if the iPhone 5 makes an appearance before Xmas :)

 

Exactly my situation, and probably what I'll be doing as well. :D

 

That makes 3 of us then! I also have a 3GS! It's a great phone, so waiting to see what the iPhone 5 has to offer then compare it to the market.

 

Rumour is that it will be released in September Clicky

When I got my 3GS the lad serving me said that the iPhone 4 wasn't going to be released that year, so opted for a 3GS, 2 weeks later the iPhone 4 gets released, wasn't to pleased! So I'm going to wait it out and leave it right till the last minute this time :)

I have a HTC Sensation, it beats any iPhone hands down. Absolutely brilliant phone. The S2 is supposedly a little bit better but I haven't tried it.

 

I disagree... The Retina Display of the iPhone 4 and the AMOLED of the Galaxy S2 are streets ahead of HTC's so it's not a hands down victory :D

 

However, in almost every other department the Sensation tops the iPhone I'll agree. Saying that, the Sensation is only 2 months old and if the iPhone 5 comes out in September it will be that comparison you have to make as the 4 is over a year old now. So essentially you're comparing a 4th gen phone with a 5th gen.

The amoled screen is something that I would like but as you said, everything else is superior in many ways.

 

I find the iphone to be a social status. It seems to impress most untechnical people. Fair enough if its all they need, buy i got bored of my iPhone very quickly. There were just so many more phones offering so much more.

For Joe Bloggs sure, but if you were a techy you'd know how to make the most out of the iPhone.

 

Anyway the iPhone interface has been dumbed down for the masses, people don't want hundreds of options they just want simple easy to use GUI's with straight to the point options. Though you do have a point about it being a fashion accessory, I still have my 2G iPhone which I got when it came out. Only techy people had it then as it was a revoultion in the mobile design, it offered so much more than a phone. Though finally other makers of phones have catches up, though the only serious competition are the HTC's. Shame the build quality isn't on par with the Apple products.

Restrictions like?

 

The S II does seem pretty good, if a little too big like the Omina 7.

Like not being open for apps. I know it brings security, but there are better ways of doing things. Shame on apple, the money grabbing pigs richer than the US itself.
