Ive been walking around like a drug dealer for 2 months now with 2 phones waithing on 3 getting their act together & transfering my number over. :thumbdown:


my sony is micro sim, all they do is clip your original sim down to micro sim size in a machine & will give you a micro sim adaptor which you place the micro sim in to make it the original size again if you want to swop phones :wink:

I am still undecided but my wildcard is the Sony Xperia T 8)

The spec is rather good and I have had quite a few good Sony Eriksson phones in the past and this new Sony comes with spectacular media/camera and HD stuff as well as the all important "Walkman" app 8)

And James Bond has one :lol: :lol: :lol:

I just upgraded to the HTC 1X.
Last upgrade was an iPhone. I hated it.
The HTC was best of the bunch I had available with the upgrade deal.

Well another option is HTC ONE X+

It is very fast with a quad core 1.7GHz processor and has 64g of internal memory and the battery is reported 37% better, though the HTC one X is reported to run faster on Jelly bean than Ice cream sandwich an update due out this week.
It will also sport Near Field Communication (NFC) on the new version 8)

So depending on the price and deals I am swaying this direction.

I have the S3 Ste. I bought a high capacity battery, which due to it's increased physical size, came with a new rear cover. The battery last all day, which is great considering it's used for work, and I'm on the damn thing most of the day. lol.

Best phone I ever bought...BY A LONG WAY!

It's on 3, and cost me £49 upfront, and I pay £33 a month for 2000 UK minutes, 5000 3 to 3 minutes, 5000 texts and unlimited data. :wink:

Well the S3 is out, I have decided its just too big and a bit fragile, it wont last 5 minutes in work.

I have settled on the new HTC one x+ (same exterior spec as the current model) as it is a bit more robust and has all the features I will need (had them side by side today)and the Mrs wants the S2 so sorted.

Means in December my HTC Desire HD will be up for grabs and in a week or so her Wildfire will be going :wink:
