Mobile phone - which one??

[Resu]

Recently got the Nokia Lumia 800 on contract. £27.50 on Orange with 600 mins, unlimited txts and 250mb of Internet. (phone was free). Excellent phone and does everything you want it to and more.

My contract is about to end in a couple of weeks and I have been looking at phones, I currently have the Nokia N900 and looking at changing to a iPhone 5 or Galaxy S3. I have decided to go the S3 on a all you can eat data (unlimited) bundle from '3'.
My mate has a S3 and he was getting up to 11.5 meg on a speedtest but best of all has a app on the S3 to use the phone as a wireless router and had 3 devices all connected and streaming from his phone without any problems. I couldn't find a app for iPhone which turns the phone into a wireless router. The wife has iPhone and iPad but I don't think they are as good as people make them out to be.

iPhone 5 has same ability, my wife has one. The wifi ability is built into the phone, no app required.

3 offer the best data packages, as they are unlimited (including tethered data). I have a 3 wifi dongle, which has been great. My with hasn't long had the iPhone 5, so can't comment much on that at the moment.

Mate if you don't want the iPhone 5 you're a plonker.

Looks like I am in the plonker club then!

Go for the Samsung Galaxy S3.

Ebay rides to the rescue, managed to pick a used N8 on ebay for a very reasonable sum, connect to laptop, synchronise and off I go. Don't have time at the moment to mess around with changes of handset, contacts etc.

Thanks for all the feedback.

When the contract ends in March I've got a few to think about!

Ha, ha, ha.

I took the dead N8 into a local shop who said they'd look at it for £5

They called a couple of days later and said it was ready??? So I went in and yes it was ready, along with a £45.00 bill -

so I said you didn't ask for my authority to fix it,

they said OK, we'll keep it

I said, no I want it back, "broken"

They said - but YOU NEED your phone

with that I pulled the new one out of my pocket - you should have seen their faces!!

OK mate, the manager says - you can have it back for £15.00

A tenner I says

Fifteen

Tenner

OK mate

So I've not got 2 working phones and won't be going there again!
