True, it was pretty basic, but it did the job I wanted it for, it was just slow. I got it with Bt broadband anywhere, which I thought was a good idea, sadly as normal Bt did not do anything with it and when the phone started playing up and BT wanted me to pay £150 for a p[hone that was way out of date, I can't remember the model now it was a HTC touchscreen, I went for a Vodafone sim only contract and got myself a cheap Vodafone touch screen phone. My first venture into touch screen

Unless the phone have a problem and stop working I can't see myself needing to change.
I like Android, I still feel a bit iffy about Google mind you, that is why location is switch off.
I only use Windows on my computer because I got very little choice, sure Windows 7 is better than other Windows, but I don't think I want another phone with Windows.
It may also fail, MS have not really got anywhere in the mobile phone market, the new windows phones will have to be amazing to compete with Android never mind the Iphone.

“I've seen a lot of people with Wildfires, tbh, I don't think you can get a real smartphone experience on such a small screen especially for things like browsing. As someone who has one, how do you feel about it?”
My mates galaxy phone have a even smaller screen.
I don't browse that much anyway, even on the Iphone I tried I found it a pain, to much moving around the screen to find something. If the site is made for mobiles then it is okish.
I use my phone mainly as a phone, I use friend stream to have a nose on facebook and I get my emails, that is useful.
At the end of the day I find all phone screens too small, that is why I got a nice 22 inch monitor stuck to my tower, I don't even use my laptop that often as I think the screen is too small.
The phone does what I want and a lot more that I don't want, so as I said before, unless it goes wrong after the 24 months I can't see myself changing, I may just go down to a sim only contract again.
