What does everyone think about the Iphone 4s? How different is it to the 4 and is it worth getting?

It's got Siri and it's a little quicker. Those are the only differences.

And a much improved camera, if that's your bag.

That'll come in handy actually. 4S it is

Re: Mobile Phones : Tue Dec 13, 2011 9:05 pm  

well im not really sure yet what to make my budget. at first i was thinking some where like 50-60 pound as i only want this phone really untill i can upgrade when my contract is up for renewal in august but looking at that link you gave me, it seems quite a decent phone for £100. Do you have any experience with it? ideally i would rather spend abit less but i need something quick and just want to have decent internet browsing with it but do you think this is probably the best i will find for the price?

You can get a Samsung Galaxy Apollo for about 80 quid. I had one as a stop gap before I got my S2, and I'd recommend it for an entry level smartphone.

I'll be honest with you. I've never used an Android phone! I just know they have a wide range and Samsung are pretty well known. I've kept touch screen in mind as you want to use Facebook etc

So I'd go with Rock Gods suggestion too. As that sounds like the kind of thing you'll be doing as a stop gap

It's the best hardware available and the best operating system too. Whether it's worth the money is up to you.
