Hey everyone,

I want a new phone, firstly am really pants with mobiles, i have no idea what is good or bad. Hope you guys can help.

-I don't want a iphone or a blackberry,
-thinking of an android,
-want to be able to use the steam app to chat to friends

-dont really fancy a 24 month contract,
-this may sound daft, but i was thinking, i could get a sim only contract for 12 months from 3, and just buy a phone separate?

any ideas guys n girls?

thanks tom

I'll be joining the Samsung Galaxy S3 band wagon when the blue ones finally arrive.

IMO after the Iphone the next best phone is the Galaxy. Id wait for the S3

I'd say shun the Galaxy bandwagon and get a Nokia Lumia (not just because I have one). However, as App writers are completely biased to iOS and Android, I'm not sure the Steam App will be on Windows Mobile

(seriously, it really bothers me that even massive companies don't have their apps on Windows, with some even shunning Android...gits).

If not a Lumia, then I reckon Galaxy S2 is the way to go. If you aren't too worried about your phone, I wouldn't bother getting an S3, and instead look for an S2 deal once the S3 is out

I'd get a galaxy instead, last time I upgraded I was able to get a discount (5-10%?) of my monthly contract by showing my NUS card. I know some network providers offer student discounts.

thanks guys, settled for a cheapy htc from 3, 13 quid a month, fitted in my budget well, as I don't wanna pay alot a month.

Would love a good phone, but cant afford it with being a student.

That's interesting, do you have any suggestions?

Vodafone offered me a good deal including a discount on my monthly contract and the one off payment for the iphone 4S, try going to a local branch and show your NUS card.
