Contract phones

[Dave_IOW]

Ok, so looks like im getting a contract for the first time, appeal of the new phone mostly and not having to top up all the time.

Limit is roughly £30 pound a month tops and must be on O2.

Been looking at the HTC Desire S,

thats £27 a month, 300 mins (will never use all them), unlimited texts and 500MB internetz   

Is this a good choice, does anyone have one they would like to share their views on, or would anyone suggest an alternative, if so, please explain why   

The iPhone 3gs 8mb is only just outside the £30 barrier at £32 a month but not sure if that would be any better than the HTC.

ihone4 all the way, but youd need to pay upfront for the phone

i wouldnt have an i phone full stop, but certainly not a 3g's. obviously a few years back it was sh!t hot, now its just sh!t. the 4 is a waste of money. HTC value for money is qualitly my brother and sister have HTC phones both spot on between £20-30 a month.

why does it have to be o2? if youve been with them for a long time then ring them up and see if they have any loyalty offers on.

do you not know anyone who works for a phone place that can get you a friends and family contract? i get 300 mins, unlimited txts and internet for 14 quid a month on orange

I disagree , my mates have got HTC's and they say there pile of crap , nice for a couple weeks but after that they just fail

all my mates / family / girlfriend are on o2 and get free phone calls between us and texts, pointless me going elsewhere...

then why not just see how much to just buy the phone your after? pointless getting a contract if its gonna work out cheaper on pay as you go, only benefit would be the internet, which you WILL need if you get an android phone.

if you can afford it get an iphone (3gs, much cheaper, just missing the video of the iphone 4, but maybe you can get an app for that now) but im more than happy with my x10i, a lot better than most android phones ive used, and the 2.3.3 update comes out soon, and because the arc is out now the x10 has come right down in price.
