Well I would suggest looking at some of the Android handsets - like the Z3 Compact I'm using - that cost about half the price of the iPhone and are pretty much the same.I love the phone (had a 3gs/4s and have had Macs for years (since OS9) and I find Windows daunting), just not so keen to be anyone's bitch for so long. I did weigh up getting it outright but just couldn't quite stretch at that time when I really needed a new phone. Next time....
Cool, thanks. Will have a shufty
I guess with the new iPhones it's a much bigger ouch than most but without trying to get into the whole phonewars thing, I honestly believe that some cheaper handsets (be it Android/WM) will do absolutely everything a regular punter wants because the differences are pretty much negligible now. But if someone has heavily invested in Apple - or just loves the OS - then they'll have to decide whether its worth the hefty outlay.Yep, buy the phone.
It's a brief ouch, but then you can go to SIM only rolling monthly. Better deals appear several times a year, and you can hop when you see you the deal you want. Or even better, the provider will deal-match to keep you.
When they phone is yours, and you don't lock in, you have the bargaining power.
You click on a link and an app just installs?
And this isn't *all over* the blogs?
Sceptical on the veracity of this one sim
Errr, no thanks.
I'll have a look. Got my 6 this morning, not sure if I dare use it till my cover turns up too, it feels so incredibly lightweight and liable to break. The camera looks nice, not done owt else with it yet
I like my phone to be nasty free thank you very muchYeah, i guess its a case of how much hassle you're willing to accept if it goes wrong
To be fair I've jailbroken quite a few times and never had a problem..... but again i certainly know its not risk free.I like my phone to be nasty free thank you very much
that is kinda what I meant! Wouldn't use it on a phone I actually require. The new 6 is only worth mentioning because otherwise I wouldn't be reading the thread
yeah I was happy enough with my 5s. However a week ago it refused to charge. As its insured and I was only a year into my 2 year contract I thought I could just take it to the o2 shop and they would sort the problem out for me. However after testing it on one of their chargers they sent me up the Apple store in Stratford where after waiting ages to be seen by someone I was told it was either a software fault or the charging port needed replacing, they also informed me they couldn't fix/replace it for free as I was a week outside of the phones one year warranty. They told me to go back to the o2 shop and try to claim on the insurance, however when I did that they said I was not covered as the insurance only covers accidental damage such as dropping it or getting water in it. They said my only option was to buy out of contract and upgrade to the iphone 6. So I paid £240 to do that and now have just began another 2 year contract.
