Mines iPhone's through work so I don't have to pay for it, or the contract ;)

if you can afford it, its worth an extra £10 to be able to use the internet whenever you want :)

my contract is £25/m, free phone, cant complain...
when the renewal was coming up i decided i wanted a free phone and to pay less money (£2 less!)
it worked out pretty well!

Think my current contract if £70p/m plus any international useage.

May look at getting an ipod and getting a different phone. Even though iphone is same as galaxy and other smart phones they still try and charge a premium.

I just have a £20/m contract and buy phones as and when I want. This one was £650 so im at about break even point now compared to if I took it on a hefty contract so if I sell it when I finish with it I'm up by whatever I sell it for.

I'd much rather spread the cost over time...
and as the cheap o2 sim only contracts seem to be about £15, £10 extra x 24 months = £240
not bad for a phone that retailed at £400 when I got it
now its still worth £350

Ha ha, like it.

The days of nokia 8300s have gone, when they were trying to make phones as small as possible.

I reckon big phone, better bluetooth communication. Leave your phone in your pocket and use one of these:

Funky, looks like it even displays the time.

Phone size doesn't bother me too much. As i do alot of internet/SCUK from the phone a bigger screen would be better.

I have an alcatel tablet but its a bit arse and very slow to respond to touch. Typing takes forever. Nice thing with the iphone is keypad is just about the right size for my thumbs.
