My upgrade is nearly due. What shall I get?

[darmstadt]

This the S4

or the iPhone 5 Math

but as a contractor, one of these or this:

Now that does look like it might be worth waiting for.

no pointing getting an S3 so wait for the S4.

I seriously like the Nexus 4 I'm currently using but getting one on contract would be a pain. As for the Lumia the Lumia 920 is so bug ridden the two people I know to have them have returned them.

Just upgraded to HTC One X+ (plus) - 64gb rather than 32gb storage of the HTC One X (not plus). £26 a month on O2 with no upfront cost.

Iphone lost out due to the absence of a micro usb charging option - didn't fancy buying new car charger/office charger/house charger etc

Samsung was the other option, probably not a lot in it but I already had HTC and was happy with it.

The biggest issue is a 2 year contract when the hardware and software on these things is obsolete in about 9 months.

I shifted from a iphone 4s to the Nexus 4. The Nexus 4 is a better media device the one thing the iphone is good at is being a phone (as it has noise cancelling built in).

There was a pretty good review of the two in an article that was aimed at the everyday user not just a comparison of specs down to whether one had an extra pixel in the bottom corner etc... I think the result was it was like trying to decide between a Mclaren and a Ferrari F1 car when all you needed was a functional family car. Neither beats the other enough technically for anyone to notice so was down to pure personal choice. Nice to see an article written like that IMO.

It's only obsolete if you want a new one, functionality wise they will last a lot longer as long as you don't want the latest gizmos just because you want them. Still very usable and will be for some time to come I think.

What's important to you? Cheap as you can or most powerful but largely useless phone out?

Yes that annoys me, I can't even get the latest google play app on my desire Z and it still has 5 months left to run. WTF is that about? I think that might actually be the network not pushing the upgrades out TBH as I have it on my unbranded "original" desire.
