Finally moved over to touch screen!

Haha, so a few years ago I didn't think I'd ever get a full touch screen phone because I much prefer having a qwerty because I text more than anything else (had the Nokia E63 for the past 3 years), but the camera and internet browsing is absolutely awful. It's a shame that every decent phone coming out now is a full touch screen, but hey ho, gotta get with the times I suppose! I've got an iPod Touch so it's not completely alien to me

I was looking at getting a Chinese clone for about £150 or so, and it just so happens I saw this (http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/mot...p-up-potentially-149-99-total-with-10-1559565) this morning, so I bought it!

It's got Gorilla Glass 2, but I'll probably chuck a Zagg InvisibleShield HD on it as I'm pretty anal about scratches on the screen, and I'll be getting a case for it.

Picking it up in-store on Monday! Exciting!
Is there anything I should be doing software/app wise when I get it?

I'd get some cheaper ebay covers that you can replace cheaply and easily.

Thought about that but they wouldn't be as good quality and the Zagg one has lifetime warranty anyway.

Never been keen with Blackberry. And I did mention I was looking around £150. £550/£33 per month is a little bit more than that

Yeah kinda glossed over that part...

Awesome price for the Razer i. Meant to be a really good phone. Has it got Jellybean yet?

Yup, quick Google shows it was released beginning of this year, 4.1.2 though, not 4.2.

Fair enough. Was just looking at your costs, as the Zagg is pretty expensive, it would increase your costs a lot.

Don't forget to factor in a case :-)
