New mobile phone

Sipnogard · 1st March 2014, 21:10

I apologise for this being a 75 free thread.

I am looking to get a new mobile phone and wondered what others would recommend.

It's main job will be as a phone not a camera so ideally it should hold a signal well with good quality sound and speech. A battery that will last all day with 3-4 hours of talking during the day. Connect to the internet with the ability to act as a mobile wifi hot spot.

Must have blue tooth (think they all do anyway) so that it will link to the hands free kit in the car, which is a low mileage 75 tourer with only 210k miles on the clock ( there you go, I did manage a 75 connection after all

).

Thanks for your thoughts

If you intend using over wi-fi, go for android as the I-phone is really pathetic. The odd one is reported to be OK but plenty, including mine have a hardware issue. A HTC/Android in my opinion is better in many respects and cheaper for the most part.
