    Well I say soon, Its 23rd May my renewal.

    My last 2 phones have been HTC's.
    HTC Hero and HTC wildfire.

    Not really sure what to get next to be honest.

    Do I join the masses and get an Iphone 4s? The one thing that puts me off iphones is the money you have to pay up front! Do you still have to pay that money if its a renewal of a contract? I have been with my current provider for almost 5 years now.

    Do i get another Android phone? Do i get another HTC? although i dont like any of the HTC's they have now.

    Hmmm. Will probably end up with an iPhone lol.

    I hate getting a new phone!! Spend ages reading reviews and looking at them then spend the next 18 months to 2 years wishing you got the other one.

    I went from a 3Gs to the 4 last year, but I bought the phone outright and I'm on a minimal contract and waiting on the iPhone 5 this year. If not, then I'll just be sticking with the 4.

    I was an HTC fan for years, having to have the windows Mobile system for work. That finished and I went to Apple! I HATE apple, I mean total Hatred! The way they lock the fricking things to "Our way or the Highway" pee's me right off!
    So I bought a 3GS and loved it, except when driving past Oxford on the M40! FFS, I can get a signal in the depths of Slovakia! Yet, the M40 and the thing sh1ts a brick!
    So I forced Orange to give me a new 4.
    Much better, faster, better screen, camera good. But bugger me, still same in certain areas! So, that is an Orange issue not the phone!
    Now. Having said I hate APPLE, the reason as before, but you cant even assign a tune, to a ringtone! WTF do they think your going to do. Sit in a Shopping center with a cap in front of you playing your ringtones?? Well, surely with your music you can do this anyway?
    I digress, The fact that I have jailbroken mine and i can now do what Apple won't let me makes me a very happy bunny!
    If you want a great device, get an Apple! But don't let it take over your life like it has mine!:confused:

    +1 for the iPhone. I moved to Apple from Windows Mobile a couple of years back with a 3GS. Now on a 4S... and an iPad2... and a 13" MacBook Pro :D Only have a Windows PC for my daughter to do her schoolwork on... Do it, you won't regret it :)

    HTC One X aslong as you can cope with not being able to change the battery in it (which if your looking at the iphone you have no problems with)
    Quad Core Phone with 5 cores! The 5th core is a low power core for doing menial tasks and saving battery, it only fires the 4 big cores when you are doing something intensive! ( 4 + 1 = Tegra 3, According to NVIDIA ), running Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) probably get a set of Beats headphones with it

    or wait for the Samsung Galaxy S3 Announcement in the next few weeks!

    HTC One X Black O2 Contract Deals | Phones 4u

    Having used ipad 2 and iphone 3/4/4s (admittadly for short periods) i just couldn't recommend them ... Maybe i'm being picky and it's due to niggles but it's simple stuff that gets on my tits!
