So my old school nokia 5230 has finally died, I use around 400 mins a month and lots of text, if i had internet i guess i would use it. I also am in the market for a sat nav, so combining the 2 seemed the sensible option.

So what advice has everyone got.

As a first time iphone user.....

How about a Iphone 4 8gb on Vodafone. £21 a month, 2year contract 600 mins a month plus 500mb internet.

Then can install sat nav apps etc

Suggest you speak to mates who have smart phones, see what they and have a play.

FWIW I hardly use my phone for calls, it's not really a phone as such it's a computer but with a small screen. Most use is email and web browsing including midweek mini movies and other online video inc BBC iPlayer, photos and listening to music. I do send a few texts inc to mates abroad using free Internet and make free/very cheap international calls via internet.

I do all of this with an iPhone on a contract with unlimited data costing about £35 month, you can do likewise on other smart phones like Samsung etc

For my first smartphone I bought a Nexus 4 and then got a Virgin Mobile sim...absolutely love the phone. Comparatively I'm paying equivalent to £17 a month over a 24month contract (Nexus was £240, sim is £7 a month) which is good value for money imo.

By the time you throw the OS on there and a couple of apps and any kind of off line mapping (if you choose that) it's going to get very full.

Go and have a play with some, set a budget and see what your mates have.

I would suggest that Andriod offers a phone for all budgets and uses.

Nexus 4, Galaxy S 3/4 or HTC ONE. Definitely go android, the stock google navigation is not only the best but also free and is probably going to get much better with their acquisition of waze.
