Because nobody has started one here yet. I'm due a work upgrade soon and I'm seriously thinking about a 6s+. I feel a little dirty.

I dropped my iPhone 5 a couple of weeks ago and shattered the screen. Luckily it was upgrade time so I got myself an iPhone 6....and dropped it yesterday, smashing the screen. £80 to get it sorted by Apple. Vodafone quited me £250, robbing cunts. I'll wait until payday as I've spent like a moron this month.
£80 is pretty decent. I'd say a diy job wouldn't be any cheaper.
In 2 weeks I'll finally be getting rid of the piece of shit that is the Huawei P6, I cannot fucking wait.
I'll be going for a G4 and I'll be getting a 35% (IIRC) discount from O2 as my step-sister works there.
Don't. Really really don't.Originally Posted by Mahow
Really?
What should I go for then? It has to be an Android.
One of the S6's or the Xperia Z5. I was never an advocate for Samsung but the new phones are so nice and Touchwiz is really good now, big improvement over what was on previous versions. The Xperias are all great.
The G4 is nice enough but has too many flaws and isn't in the same range as the others. I gave mine to my sister and she returned it and went back to her Nexus 5.
I guess I'll go for the S6 then, but not the awful edge shit.
The S6 Edge Plus seems to be the European Note 5, which would be a good option in the range though. Take a read up on the Z5 also. Specs look amazing (especially on the Premium one) and as it is the Z3 beats most Android phones.
Worth a listen on the current smartphone climate.

My G2 contract is ending in December and at first I thought I'd upgrade right away, but looking at the options I think I'll hold out for next year and Snapdragon 820.
There are some rumours from decent sources that the bigger of the two new Nexus phones to be launched on September 29th (the Huawei 6P one) will have the 820 in it with he smaller LG Nexus 5X having the 808.
Really? I thought 810 was pretty much confirmed. 820 would be an insta-buy then.
Still remains to be seen but you'd imagine Google will need something pretty noteworthy to get heads around the manufacturer. The more I'm hearing is that it'll be a spec beast, with a price tag to match while the LG will be more around the earlier 2015 flagship specs (sounding like a G4 internally with a smaller screen).
Yep, with 810 it's dead on arrival.
The new Android powered Blackberry becoming a bit clearer. The AC team have been hinting for a few weeks that it's going to be very good.

More leaks yesterday and the 6P looks like it will have the 810 in it after all.
No thanks then.
Don't ever go with Three Mobile, they're a bunch of cunts.
They're about the best here. Though I've only been involved with them as a PAYG customer personally.
Are they swallowing up O2 in the UK too?
Official announcement on Tuesday.
New Chromecast coming out too. Looks interesting.
I'll be more interested to see what the changes will be in that than I will be in the phones on Tuesday. Still think an expesive Huawei with an 810 is going to be a hard sell. Marshmallow and the Doze feature will be interesting too, though God knows hen the OEM's will be getting that.
Still struggling with my Moto E 1st Gen. I have four apps on it: Facebook, Messenger, Indeed and Twitter. I have no photos or any media or anything at all. I have low storage alerts so much so that I can't even get my e-mails through.
Is the S6 too big? I currently have the S4 mini which is a nice size.
I bought this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pama-Charger.../dp/B00H3DJTY0
It's 2amp so charges pretty fast. I can do the wife's phone as well or the iPad.
Anything at all so long as it's around the 2A as Magic says. No point in buying a QuickCharge one as the G doesn't have it on the chip.
Only see this now. Try it out for size in a store. On paper it would seem too big compared to an S4 mini, but they do feel very comfortable in the hand. More than most phones do.
In fairness it isn't exactly a big battery either so it doesn't take that long to charge it. I bought because my initial G nor my 2nd Gen and now my E didn't come with the plug. Cheap pieces of shit.
How are you finding the 3rd gen G @AD?
iphonemedic in Rugby is your best bet if you can be arsed travelling. Cheap as fuck.
Good stuff. The sister is picking one up today to replace her Nexus 5. She had been after a Nexus 6 but tried out the Moto and was well impressed.
Are they one of the dodgy looking outfits in the clock towers? There must be about 10 of those places that sell phone cases and do repairs in the town, fuck knows how they're sustainable. Probably fronts.
I'm also on the look out for a new phone - my first gen Moto G was running slow as shit, and now looks like this:
Fuck knows what I'll get.

Probably worth having a look in Tesco - some stores have the Moto G 4G at £30.
My oneplus 2 came through the post today. All the instructions in chinese.......
Even if they were in English I doubt you'd be able to comprehend them.
Phones don't need instructions these days. The have a setup sequence at first swich on.
Rugby's easy for me, cheers Dav. I'll tell Lauren I'm taking her shopping.
Apparently no OIS on either of the new Nexus phones. That's a prerequisite on anything these days
My contract runs out in January and I'm torn between keeping my original phone (Nexus 5) and going sim only or getting a new one (the only one I really want is the new Sony Xperia Z5).
My phone has been a right pain to charge for a while, have to get the cable in just right. A quick google said if I put a paper clip inside the charging port and clean out any fluff and dust it'll sort it so I gave it a go. My phone would no longer charge. I felt like crying.
A second wiggle around inside it though and a bunch more dusk and fluff came out and now it's like new. No getting the able right, no holding it in place, just works.
I've got a 5s at the minute but it's upgrade time and I'm unsure what to do. Should I have my pants pull down and get a 6s or go for a Galaxy S6?
Galaxy S6 all the way.
How (Sorry for this) invested (sorry!) in the iphone are you? For me, everyone I knew owns an iphone, we have multiple group chats and stuff and I've got a load of apps I've paid money for too. So I won't be moving away from the iphone anytime soon. Plus, they're bloody nice to use too.
Depends if you want an iPhone or an Android phone really. If you've had the 5S and were happy then I'd suggest sticking with Apple and certainly go for the 6S over the 6. If you were to go the high end of Android then take a look at the Xperia Z5 over the GS6, though the latter is a very good phone too.
Steady. It's a geezer who runs it from his house.
Also, his website appears to have gone to the tits, so abort abort abort.
Get an iPhone if you want the best phone. Samsung are shite.
I think that's a bigger of it. I had a Nexus 4 when they came out. Good phone but I struggled with the fact it wasn't an iPhone. But then I hate the thought of paying a fortune for my phone and contract.
Fuck's sake, thought it would be some cheap town centre stall rather than something run by Fred West Jr. Apple it is then.
Your phone is your most-used piece of technology. Why buy something sub-par?
