Quit smoking self-reward: what phone?

killianzz · 9 Jun 2011 at 01:57

I currently have a HTC legend, which I bought last year for £360 sim free (ouch), however I was stuck in a contract with ****ty orange so I couldnt make the most of it as I had poor signal in my town. The digitizer needs replacing and that costs £20. So ye, its a great phone. However, I quit smoking just over 2 weeks ago and as a motivator I said id buy myself a new phone if I could go one month without a fag, as Im going to get a new contract anyway.

Whats the best phone out at the moment? (android ***). Spotted a deal on a galaxy s2 for £21 a month 24months/ upfront cost of £29 on o2. Can anyone beat that with another top phone? £21 p/m is my max. I probably shouldn't upgrade but I'll be saving £100 a month by not smoking, and I love gadgets lol.

Samsung galaxy S II is the best android phone on the market.. HTC sensation is close to that together with motorol atrix.. so really depends which one you prefer..

If £21 is your max, that Galaxy S II deal is your best (and pretty much only) option.

Enjoy

Remember to use topcashback for £60. Also a Legend I was watching today sold for £140 minus fees on ebay today.

What is topcashback? Must say for £140 you do get a lot of phone.

I have noticed that the other phones (sensation+atrix) have more expensive contracts. I was actually going to get the original galaxy s, but when I saw that deal on the s2 my jaw literally hit the floor. Does anyone have any opinions on samsung's version of sense? (cant remember the name of it)

TouchWiz isn't as nice as Sense but it is good, so don't worry about that

As long as its comparable then thats ok, it will be good to try something new

Does anyone have any experience with this 'topcashback' affair?

TCB is really good, make sure you delete all your cookies before purchasing though, use a separate browser for all cashback that's what I do.

P.S well done for quitting smoking, I know how hard it is, quitted many times over the years but I've been smoke free for over a year now and it's the best feeling ever plus all those £££s saved can go on lovely gadgets

Will do, thanks for the tip. Its hard alright, but at least it only gets easier. Well done, hope I can say the same next year. Its only after you quit that you realise how much money you spend on cigarettes, love it!
