Next Question... phone advice needed.

[SallyMagpie]

Righteo, your going to get sick of me and my stupid questions, but I kinda like your impartial advice, so hey!

I at the moment have a blackberry which I adore, but its battery is slowly dying, and I am going to replace it with an android. I can't tell you why. But I don't want an iphone, and I have a bit of a problem with Simpsons Tapped Out ( I won't go to rehab, I enjoy it too much) So, its got to be android.

Now, I am stuck.

At the moment I carry around with me a kindle, a samsung galaxy tab and my phone. I would like to reduce this down, so I am happy to have a bigger phone, so I can do without the tab in my handbag.

I have been looking at the Sony Z3 or the HTC One M8. Is there a positive or a negative to either of these? Would I be better waiting for a kitkat phone?

My data useage on my blackberry is low low, but I am worried when I move over to an android it will go through the roof because my sister that that problem with hers.. However, most of the time I am on the wifi at home.

So many questions, so little answers.

Any ideas?

My requirements are

- lets me play simpsons tapped out

- lets me use instagram

- has a big screen

- comes in a nice/girl colour OR has a nice coloured case which is made by the same brand of the phone. Id on't want no £1.99 **bleep**e off of ebay... (this is one of the reasons I am tempted by the M8)

Yeah, but those phones which are exclusive to X Y or Z, don't you think they are akin to a chav stamp? lets people identify what and where you do stuff?

They are only "exclusive" for a period of time - I have a purple Z1 that's never been anywhere near O2!

You can usually get any colour if you go direct to the manufacturer regardless of any network "exclusive" deals....

Cleo : I have to have a good colour or I never find the thing in my handbag.

Mi5 - one question, are you really?
I could get any phone any colour I want from the bloke who I work with. He has a friend who has an iphone shop or something and he had loads of them the other week. But, I don't want one of those.

The advantage to a Refresh contract is that you can pay off the phone at any time, if you want to upgrade before your 24 months is up. You don't have that option if you buy from CPW. The other alternative is, if you have the disposable income, to buy the phone sim free and just have a monthly sim only contract.

Bambino, I don't like the stress of changing my phone often, so once every two years suits me just fine.
