    Not to mention that if I go camping or a festival or anywhere with no power access, all I gotta do is take a spare battery with me.

    SG4 is an easy choice for more reasons than most. The SD storage is a critical purchase decision for many.

    Faugs half an hr of web browsing and 2-3 mins of calls is hardly world beaten on usage for a day.

    More realistic is 2hrs of web browsing on the bus to and from work, and about 30-45mins of calls a day + sms and email notifications. Most Smartphones hit 0 pretty fast from there onwards.

    Unfortunately i don't have people calling me, sorry :). On other side a 15-20 min Skype calling here and there don't affect the battery much. I also apologize for not having the work far enough :).

    I have a Trent iCarrier IMP120D for that, quite handy, will charge phone, camera and ipad when out and about, pretty much handy for anything that charges via usb.

    I have a HTC one, it is an amazing phone. I was lucky enough to pick a Sim Locked one up for £250 from EE on PAYG, but managed to unlock it. Saw that it is only £439.60 sim free at amazon, cheapest i've seen else where is £479.

    The only thing that puts me off the HTC is the missing sd card

    Im eligable for an upgrade from my s2 and i would love an s4.

    But there really is nothing wrong with the s2! And i could get a sim only £15 pm on a 12 month contract.

    Hmmm decisions!

    I like my s3. How about that as a cheaper option over the s4?

    Nope no need for a tough decision. Upgrade.
    I went from my s2 to the s4 and I thought my s2 was ok. Turns out I was wrong. My s2 was rubbish. My s4 is awesome. Do it, you know you want to :)

    If you don't want a Fisher Price-themed phone (the S4), there's always the Nexus 5, which will inevitably be a modified version of the LG G2 (also sadly Fisher Price themed), out sometime around November. Otherwise, you can take an S4 / HTC One and put a Google Edition ROM on it.

    I've not been keeping up with nexus news of late but I thought that the nexus had no sd storage. I also thought it was Motorola that were doing the n5.
    I don't find the s4 fisher price at all. But one of the benefits of the s4 was that I could rom flash to stock if I get bored with touch wiz.

    Personally I would wait until you are able to upgrade rather than paying to upgrade early by buying out your contract early.

    I'm seriously tempted by the LG G2 myself.
    Holding fire on proper hands on reviews though.

    Every couple months is a new phone so thats irrelevant really. Getting a phone now on a lesser priced contract renewal or wait and continue to pay your current more expensive contract and old phone because you want a new phone? Hes getting a new phone regardless its clear from his intentions, the brand spanking released phones on contract are EXPENSIVE and may even cost more. Whats the point? Then someone in november when he asks again may say 'hey wait till january brand new 5 double G ultra usb HDMI wtf phone' will be out.

    Jus saying.

    No Nexus 4 love? The build quality is really nice and with no fluff onboard it flies.
