Default What should I get, Galaxy S3 or Note.

Can get both for £26 a month.

I love the idea of a massive screen though on the note ?


By the way I mean note 1 not 2. I've heard there's not THAT much of a difference.


Or should I wait till Jan for the deals ?

S2 over S3 ? Why's that mate. The S3 seems a beast. I'd certainly like a note 2 but im not a lover of contact and the less i pay the better. The note 2 is like 33 a month now, add insurance your looking at £40.

I'm currently on Tesco SIMonly 10 quid a month, even though they piggy back off o2 the signal seems appauling majority of the time.

My misses is on Orange and seems to have no trouble.

Got an s2 also, but the s3 is a serious bit of kit, couldnt justify the extra though.

The note is far too big to be a phone, but the screens are seriously impressive!

Well, The S3 I can get for 26 pounds a month, with 300 mins, unlimited texts and 750GB tinternet. Which would be ample for me, most months.

The S3 does seem to be the all round device though, although screen size of the note or note 2 is tempting. I really dont mind big phones at all. In fact i prefer them.

At the min I've got the ARC S and whilst its a decent phone, it can become terribly slow when browsing an intensive, webpage. The single core 1.4GHZ snapdragon is OK its just seriously lacking in RAM for a decent phone. 512MB, What were Sony thinking.

Ive had an S2 now for nearly 18 months and its great! my gf has had the note 1 for about 6, its just the same only big!
its abit to big to use as a phone tbh. having used it a few times i would recommend the smaller galaxys. The S2 is so tried and tested and so fault free im not sure the minor upgrades the s3 have really justify it. It is good, but not that much better.

I know the S2 well.. Misses has one. Just wanted something future proofed a bit if im going on a 24 month. Dual core will be defunct by next year knowing these companies.

Why not try one of the new windows phones, they look really nice and seem to be gaining in popularity now.

I always buy outside of a contract, it ends up cheaper in the long run.

I usually do too I've never had a contract phone before.

I'm currently sim free on 10 quid a month ( 12 month sim ).

I bought my Arc S outright. But I wouldn't mind 25 ish a month.
Its not as bad as some of these ridiculous tariffs which are like £55 + insurance. I think over 2 years thats stupid money.
