I'm amazed how anyone finds anything decent on less than a 2 year contract, maybe I don't look hard enough.
I'd say its almost essential to have a couple of spare batteries for a smart phone these days. Avoids having to find places to charge, although I always keep a USB cable in the car and a dock on my desk at work.Contracts generally suck IMO.
The other thing is it'd be good to avoid another 2 year contract, as it seems most phones get annoying or the battery is fucked at bang on 18months.
-should I end up with an iphone locked to a network, how easy is it to unlock them yourself?
Not sure if any current models of non-nokoia phones have this, but if they do I'm all ears.
Also, the only think I miss from my old shit nokia symbian smartphone was the dedicated hardware camera button on the side, so you could whip it out of your pocket, hold the button and without having to fuck around with anything on screen it was straight into camera mode - so much better than entirely soft camera controls. Not sure if any current models of non-nokoia phones have this, but if they do I'm all ears.
Question is: do I want a 50" screen on a phone that can wipe my arse
it's fast on iPhone: one quick swipe on lock screen, then use external button as shutter.

A slight hi-jack but has anyone paid for an unlock code? I'd wrongly assumed that unrevoked led to my phone being sim-unlocked and I've just finished a 2 year contract with T-mobile, ideally I'd like to just stick a giffgaff sim into my existing phone for a few months.
