Tediously boring I know, so I apologise in advance.

I need a new work phone, they (work) have given me a budget to go and find one and they will buy. I’ve been running a HTC desire for the last 3 and bit years and it annoys me at the best of times.

My want’s (needs)

Decent battery life
WIFI (with ability to create hotspot)
Bluetooth (for me car)
Decent email reader type thing
Camera (not high quality)
GPS (for satnav when abroad – read Strava)

there “may” be an option to dip into my own pockets for this, but prefer not to. So far Galaxy S3 seems the “thing”, though really want an experia Z1 compact.

cheers all.

I’ll be getting a z1 (not compact) shortly. The waterproof bit is the main factor for me.

yes looked at your post (or was it someone else?), out of my budget unless someone knows better? Seem like a good phone.

Take a look at the Motorola Moto. The Non-4g one (Moto G) is available for £100. Owned by Google it’s giving other manufacturers the collywobbles.

Moto X or Nexus 5.

Both bang on £300.

Google just sold Motorola to Lenovo. So maybe they wobbled their own collys?
