I would recommend the case mate tough case, currently on amazon for £16.
Although if you want one I'll sell you the one I had on my s2 for £10 inc postage

I certainly will, no problem.

Thanks for the links and info, I have ordered an Otterbox case as that is what I had on my iPhone 3G and have on my iPad 2 they are really good quality cases and although not cheap are good value for money.

Oh and I have ordered a Samsung 32GB micro SD card (class 10) as well, so storage should not be a problem.

I did not really think that Samsung would abandon it's current best selling Android phone, they are not daft they know that if they cheese off their current user base that they would alienate future repeat customers.

I am looking forward to seeing the differences between iOS and Android, I have only ever played with a Galaxy S so I think I might be in for a pleasant surprise. But if I don't get on with it then I will only be a short wait for the next generation of smart phones to arrive.

It will be a good learning curve for me as having had iPhones since they first came out, then a 3G and currently a 4 I do like the Apple ownership experience (and I will keep my 4 and iPad 2). It will be good to have a comparison point with a different OS and device, a change is a good as a rest.

I may do the same when my current contract expires and buy the iPhone 5 outright and go sim only depending on the costs of the handset and when the phone is released

Is it just me thinking you won't get much change from £800-1000 for the anticipated iPhone 5?

I'm on a 3GS 16gb currently and the nature of my Vodafone contract stipulates I can upgrade upto 190 days early, ie now if I wish. But the 4 and 4s models don't excite me enough to fork out for a handset aswell as keeping my current tariff. Would the general opinion be let it run out (may time) and see what's about then. The phones not knackered but I have been impressed with it enough to buy another iPhone.

It does seem Vodafone are very tight/stringent, call it whatever you want, with their 'negotiation' on iPhone tariffs/handset prices. This is the one thing which puts me off a little, no room for manoeuvreing or offering a long term customer a good deal for loyalty. Seems more scope on android phones for this.

thats a nice case, the one thing i realised in owning the phone since release is that the phone is really slippery without a case and can easily fall out of your hand!

what you will not need is a screen protector as the gorilla glass is extremely strong snd doesnt scratch under normal circumstances.

one thing this can do that iphone cant that personally I find useful is if u use a mhl csble and blutooth keyboard and mouse you effectively turn it into a PC i.e on your tv surf net pkay movies/games etc.

HTH

JackClark

iPhone does that too, no cables.

r4fster

really??!

is that a recent thing? is that standard or jailbroken?

JackClark

You've always been able to do it with a cable, 4s and iPad 2 can mirror to your TV via wifi.

My galaxy nexus the other day, it's embarrassing the thing puts my dsl connection to shame



Bt is screwed when LTE comes along, bye bye wired connections.

Jaybird-UK

Fails on ping time though

JackClark

My 4s gets a regular 4mb/s download speed. That's easily fast enough for me to be glad I stuck with unlimited data.

hux309

Yeah does a bit, but that always varies, most of the time it's around 80ms

But im waiting for LTE, im sick and fed up of bt holding back broadband, LTE will give them a hefy kick up the backside, i've seen what it's capable of.

I just wish ofcom would hurry up with the bidding.

Sandisk now do a 64gig micro sd card, give the phone companies a little time and there will be some quality phones with 32gig on board and supporting the larger card. I have 48gig storage on my s11 and I hardly have any space left.

zip106

Can someone recommend me a phone that, you know - does this 'making telephonic calls' malarkey?

I already have a computer for computing and I have a camera for camering.
I even have a butler for ****-wiping and foreskin cleansing.


Good God, you lot.
Just listen to yourselves.....

So, Apple's iOS finished the year with 52% of mobile web browsing. How can that be.

is that a 'c'

Hardly indicative of anything when you check the background to the survey.

Coupled to the fact that Android has more than 50% market share in every country that Android operates. So that will the whole world

JackClark

I would hope that Android has 50% market share by now, it's free and not as **** as some. But, how come no one's using it? It tally's with what I see as well, I occasionally see someone break out a Android phone, but no often, where I see iPhones in use all the time. Maybe you buy an Android because there are no normal phones around any more.

Well I stand corrected Jack Clark's personal survey has to be right. The world wide data collating companies must be wrong

Jack you are reinforcing the stereotype that apple products are like Gucci, all show no go. Whilst those smart phone users who crave function over form choose Android

JackClark

Hardly, with 50% market share but only a small percentage of web use it obvious that Andorid products are bought and not used and Apple phones are useful. The opposite of your view and backed by fact.

dpb

Now that does tally

I reckon that in that 50% web usage for IOS stat they have included Skype.

It will be all the iPhone users on Skype as it doesn't work as a phone whereas Android does
