which phone?

[Chrisuk]

This is interesting for me too, thinking of changing from my faithful Nokia 5140, most reliable, durable piece of tecnology ever made in my opinion so am a tad concerned about paying a little more per month for something that is so fragile, of course it can be insured at extra cost but do we all really need a computer in our pockets or just a thing that rings push the green button and talk to folk.....
Oh what to do?

With me being a student I want a decent camera so I can take pictures of what I've done, the S4 and G2 are 13 megapixel but huge screens

Guess I need a big screen for when I'm showing the man down the pub..... Who obviously already knows how to do everything and more that a sparky can do haha

I have my S3 without a case and after almost 2 years still no breakages.

When on site I always put my phone on a window sill or in my pocket (not back pocket...).

May I also remind people that most phone manufacturers offer warranty for the length of the contracts. Apple, however, do not. They only give 1 year..

Warrenty's don't cover it if you drop it

Some of the more expensive shock proof cases offer replacement in case of damage, thus negating insurance.

If your a clumsy basted get the otterbox armour series. It will survive a car/small van driving over it

That's obvious..

The warranty was a side note

Not sure if all the new smart phones do it but the bloke in PC world showed me how to turn on the 'wi-fi hotspot' mode on my HTC, when it's on I can connect to the phone with the wifi on my iPad and laptop and use the phones data as my internet connection, I have unlimited data on my phone so it's saved me having to buy a PAYG sim for the iPad as well.

For ultimate protection I'd always be reaching for a lifeproof case. Though nothing thus far for the iPhone 5s only if you want the one with the silly plastic cover on the screen

Have a look at otterbox armour series/defender (you can pull the screen protector off defender but not sure on armour)
