After a new one.  Haven't got a clue which one to buy.  Samsung, Nokia, blah blah blah. Contract or pay as you go? I want a good one as cheap as poss and would prefer to keep the number I have now.  I'm looking online see what's what and need to get out there and see what I can haggle get.  |

what do you actually want from a phone?
i've just got a new nokia work phone. it's a very basic thing, calls, txt and calulator, nothing else. but all i use it for is ringing customers, so it's spot on. battery lasts 5 days, even with a fair bit of use. it's amazing!
my own phone is an HTC one SV. camera is ok, screen is nice - good colours, easy to see outside when it's bright etc, music player is good, 4G internet so i can stream films when i'm out and about in the lorry, music player is a bit annoying but i'm geting used to it slowly, some good games free from playstore. down side is that now it's 9 months old i'm charging it twice a day
the mrs has just got a new galaxy s4. amazing bit of kit! scroll up and down just by looking up and down, reject phone calls by placing it face down on a flat surface amazing screen, fast processor blah blah

He's already got one of them My old Nokia E5 used to last 7 days between charges, internet was garbage. HTC oneX is a nice phone, good camera, excellent internet, 4 days between charges with light internet use, 90 mins of internet will flatten it from a full charge. |

He's not wrong an old early Motorola somewhere in one of the cupboards. Still looking.  |

One that's easy to read and move around and use (with my glasses on) Quite like the Galaxy S3 as they seem to have come down in price. Certain providers are free depending. Not sure if I can justify a Galaxy S4 as I have read somewhere they had memory issues when they first came out. Nate can't you buy a spare battery for your own mobile phone.  |

Have a look at a huawei y300, £70 from carphone warehouse unlocked, with a virgin VIP sim at £15 month on 30 day contract, it's a decent combo, not great but decent.
