I remember the days when folk used to keep electronic items for years and only replaced them when they were knackered beyond repair...

The way that mobile phone providers convinced us all that we NEEDED their products so badly is a text book exaple of supreme marketing, especially for those of us who remember the days of carrier pigeons.

Edited for accuracy.

Right, looking at an Iphone 4. 36pound a month, 300 minutes, 500mb and 59quid for the handset. This is a 18 month contract. Is it worth it?

No, you can get the Galaxy for less, and it's a better phone (assuming smartphones are your thing)


(yes, I've got used to mine!)

No is the short answer. Get up to date and go for the Samsung galaxy S2, a better phone and platform (Android) all round.

The real price for the handset is well over £400 as you can pick up a SIM only deal with those allowances for around £15

Ouch, 02 were giving the iPhone 4 away for free on £30 tariff with 500mb and texts. Not sure on the duration of contract last month.
As an existing customer Iv just got the 4s handset free, 900 mins, texts, 1gb of net. But I had to threaten to leave first. But I'm more than happy.

I got a HTC sensation from phones4u on Vodafone. The power buttons faulty (sticks). This results in numerous screen shots and trouble turning phone on and off. I just wondered who i am best speaking to re warranty and repair?

Depends how old it is really. Probably a return to HTC hobby though

Re: More Mobile Phone discussion : Sun Mar 25, 2012 9:15 am  

It's in its 4th month. I'll email HTC later.
