Time to replace/upgrade mine and the wife's phones. I've pretty much got the options down to a Sony Xperia M for £9/month, or Xperia SP for £13/month (both on cashback deals)
I'd prefer an Xperia Z, but can't get them for less than £20/month and I just don't want to spend that much.
So, any experience with the M or the SP? Is the SP worth the extra few quid a month?
I've got the SP and it's great, not that I've got much experience of other phones with which to compare. It's a good solid build (has aluminium edge) and as big a phone as I want to carry around. I haven't looked for a while but when I got it I couldn't find a waterproof case that is specifically fitted for the phone. Might be something available now as it's been around for a few months now. Worth considering this if you want to use it for outdoorsy stuff. Mine's been fine without one so far.
I bought mine - insurance paid out for my water damaged Xperia Neo V and have it on sim only for £11 and insured.
The insurance company initially sent me an inferior model (Xperia U) and a few relatively small things made it feel not as good as it should be so I was happy to get the SP in the end.
i`ve got the M.
i use it for a mp3 player that can be a phone occasionally and its great. (compared to a wildfire s and a desire somethingorother).
quite big. defo wouldnt want it any bigger. quite thin so noticeably more bendy then the HTC's. 2GB onboard memory seems ok for now. keyboard is a bit fiddly but i'm guessing i`ll get used to that.
internet works ok. dunno what else to say. its a box that does stuff! never had a top end phone so i dont know what they are supposed to be like!
Got an SP... think it's great... especially the screen, bigger and better than an iphone... (but not too big ... I'd come from a small phone and was a bit worried about the size of the phone in general but its ok)
Just found another bargain, anyone know about the Samsung S3 Mini?
Motorola Moto G and get cheap SIM only contract
Phone £160/24 = £6.67pm
+
eg Virgin Sim only deal £7 pm (150 minutes, unlimited texts, 500MB data)
~£14 pm - better phone no contract. Win.
Samsung S3 mini is a pretty good phone - and you can put a micro sd in it. Just put a 32gb card in mine so no longer need to buy an mp3 player.
Mine is 11 months old and still holds a charge pretty well (2 to 3 days ish).
