I was going to get a phone while I was off work the first two weeks of September but may hold off till October when my 02 rewards will be about £30. For I want a phone that I will be happy with and not a few months down the line say I wish I had not got it.
I would use the phone for texting, making the odd phone calls, The MP3 player and apps I may use would be mostly weather and now and again Facebook and if im out to look up the football scores. If it had radio I would use the FM radio once in a while when im on train for the news. I may play the odd game on it but im not a heavy gamer.
The Sony Ericsson Elm that I got the now can last nearly 36 hours before the battery gose below 50% and thats when I usally charge it and that phone is now 14 months old.
I dont alaway leave phone switched on thouigh the night while im in bed.

Someone say im better waiting till I next ger payed in a few weeks and maybe paying more to get the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo. I have had a look at it only but I dont know.

Most reviews seem to be good on the phone but one rewiew said the screen may scrach easy.

For most smartphones, the USB lead comes as a detachable part of the charger and it's in the box when you buy.

Not really "lucky". Almost all manufacturers (apart from Apple, of course) have adopted the micro USB charger so the cables are interchangeable.

Thats good to know im hopping the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo will be the same. Im going to wait till I get payed next week and pay a little more and get the Sony Ericcson Xperia Neo and use my £20 02 rewards towards the phone. As I want to stay on pay and go and the 02 text and web tariff deal I have been on for over a year now.
I will also be off work so that will give me a few days to sort of get used to the phone before I go back to work as I have never used a smartphone or a touchscreen phone before.
Anyone know what the Xperia Neo is like as it seems to have 8 out oft 10 for good reviews.
My sister just got herself an Iphone 3gs on 02 pay monthly 24month contrect and says the Iphone seems great.
£21.50 amonth I think shes now paying.

If you had to pick between the Sony Ericsson Neo and the HTC Disire S what one would you pick and why. I want the phone to be easy at texting and taking off the quick text as I dont like quick text mode. Also easy to pone and look up contects and phone from your call list.
As im thinking of getting one of them two phones after I get payed next week.
