My contract is up in the next couple of weeks, I currently have an HTC Wildfire S. I don't really want to 'upgrade' upgrade, but am looking to save some money on the monthly contract.
I really, really like the look of the Nokia Lumia 900 and found a good contract with Tesco mobile, when I phoned my current provider 3 they bamboozled me with similar price deals on Samsung Galaxy Ace & HTC Desire C saying the Nokia had loads of technical issues (they don't supply that model). I know the Nokia is an older model (launched beg 2012), but I'm a bit of a technophile and am not really bothered about having the 'latest' spec.
The nokia had everything I was looking for, and reviews very slightly better than the HTC/Samsung - any experiences/advice from anyone who uses these models?

Although I would not recommend any if you are buying now as the Ace and HTC C are older/slower AAndroid models and the Lumia 900 runs the older Windows Phone 7 OS
Although Tesco are probably trying to get rid of old stock and hence why these phones are being offered to you so cheaply.
If you just want basics then the Lumia 900 is still a solid phone.
Btw, I think you mean technophobe not technophile.
You can get a 620 free on talkmobile for £12.50 or push your existing supplier a bit harder. They seem more willing to drop on the Windows phones than on androids.
BIB - d'oh!!
Thanks for the advice everyone. I've decided to go for the Nokia, I've been wanting one for ages and just feel I'd regret it if I went for something else.
I'm shallow, and much prefer the look of the 900 to even the newer 620 . The 900 will do fine for me, as long as I can text, phone, check my emails/FB/go online a bit/use the sat nav function occasionally I'm more than happy. Anything more than that in a phone is wasted on me.
