Hi all,

I currently have a htc desire bravo which is on a work contract, I am leaving the job and require a new phone and contract... I will be able to keep the phone but my mrs smashed up a second iphone in as many months and will be taking my htc.

So I want to spend something like £30 - 40 a month and want some decent phone with a decent amount of "stuff"... any decent deals that people know of? Also what handset to take?

You can get any phone you want on a £30-£40 a month contract.

What handset would you like? Do you have any priority over what operating system you would like?

The three best phones out at the moment are iPhone 4S, Galaxy Nexus or Nokia Lumia 800.

Have a browse through all the threads on this forum, or check out youtube videos of each phone. Hopefully the two should give you a clearer indication of what OS / Phone you'd like.

Right well... I went for a HTC Sensation (free phone) £29 a month I get : 900 Mins , Unltd texts , 500 MB mobile internet data over 18 months.

Also argued the toss and got 1gb per month open zone wifi thrown in and 0844 / 0845 numbers will be taken off of my standard minutes bundles.

I currently have a desire bravo that I can't fault so figure I might as well stick with htc.

Also what makes the nexus better than the galaxy 2 s?

The OS is what makes the nexus better than the galaxy s2 in my opinion. 720 resolution screen is nice too I guess, But for everything else the S2 clearly beats the nexus, So in the end all it has is a better screen(resolution) because GS2 will be getting ICS anyway!

Ahh cheers for that. I tried the galaxy 2 s and actually prefer the htc version of the OS. Hope I dont regret going for the sensation.
