New mobile phone - Page 2

I'm currently using a Sony Xperia SP1.

A great phone, does what it says on the box

If yer CDT is OBDII compliant (probably a sensor in the intercooler pipe about 6 inches away from the EGR), get an Android based phone, pay around a tenner to a Chinese dongle seller as well as around £4 to the developer and install Torque Pro on the phone-

It will open up a whole new world of understanding about meaningful aspects of yer chariot, and may actually excite you with bright and shiny dials and things that will provide you with meaningful information that will make your men friends jealous, and your lady friends will look at you totally differently for ever more...

Depends on what you want. Personally Id be looking at getting a Moto G

and a Ovivo Sim to go with it.

£20 one off cost with 250 mins 300 txt and 0.5gb data for free. Minimal advertising pays for the usage costs. Small price to pay for free mobile use. Im currently paying £10 per month with giffgaff and will be looking to swap soon.

Save yourself from wasting money on the above and go for a lumia 520, easy to use, does exactly what you ask and has Nokia maps with voice navigation included, it also has what I consider an adequate size screen for a mobile phone, and can be picked up for very reasonable prices.

Mr Thomas 75 & Mr Mikeal 1 what can I say??????

Thanks for bringing this post up to my level

.

I have pretty much decided on going with O2 as they seem to have best signal cover across most of the country (my job takes me all over the place though not quite as remote as my last job).
Looking at the unlimited talk & text plus 1GB of data.

I have had a Samsung Galaxy for the last 3 years and not over impressed with reliability, I have a rubber cover for the back as I take the battery out that often to reset it.

Being tempted by the Moto G at the moment.

Thanks to everyone for the posts
