Genie Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Tempted by a deal at PHones4U, 12 month contract (Vodafone), 300 mins, unltd texts and 500mb web (Web is unlimited for the forst 3 months). £36 per month minus £100 cashback, minus £70 quidco = £262 for the first year. Added benefit is that P4U have high street stores should I have problems in the future. I've had a look at the S3 and its just too big imo, it also doesn't feel quite like the quality of the HTC either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 What handset are you talking about there Tamuff_Villa? I agree the HTC handsets have a premium feel and look. They are the only ones who make a top of the line handset that doesn't have a mega screen. But I never knew the One S had Chipping problems.

Genie Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 This is the One S Grey version, I believe the chipping is confined to the black but HTC do acknowledge the issue (they put a statement on their website) and will repair them. That's why, if I do get some chipping I'll be happier taking it in to a store. Bottom of the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Ordered the One S (Grey) on the 12 month deal. The maths: 12 x £36 = £432 Cashback = £100 Quidco = £70 £432 - £170 = £262 (£21.83 per month) My crappy Samsung Galaxy S (1) is going off to the recyclers for ~£80 so factored in brings the annual outgoings to £182 (£15.17 per month).

darrenm Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Just a personal preference. I don't like the very locked down bootloaders and poor quality ROM builds. The One X is supposed to be nice though so don't listen to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I just find it daft that HTC has now a reputation for poor batterylife and they've done nothing to change the opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 After owning a Desire HD I can tell you that the main problem with HTC is the bloody awful battery life on them. A problem, looking at Modaco, it still has. After doing a bit of research on the Adnroid forum I got a Google Nexus on Saturday and it's bloody lovely. Pure Google/Android and runs Jellybean. Okay it's not quad-core but for what I want it for it runs great. I noticed signififcant 3G drop-off with the Desire HD, but with the Nexus I've found it superb. And the speaker is much louder too. And I've never had a problem with giffgaff. Sure every now and then there's issues, but you get that with every phone network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
