I'm now thinking of replacing my Nokia N8.00 (Belle) and also getting a tablet for my database (MS Access based). I don't play games or stream movies or any of the other bollox but am getting peed off at the lack of useful apps for the Nokia platform.

So I'm looking for a new smartphone and tablet that are compatible. I'll be purchasing outright and using sim only, I don't go for contracts.

Oh one more thing, nothing beginning with "i" please

Check out the Samsung Galaxy bundles that are available, you can get a Galaxy S2 phone (still a damn good phone) and a 7" Tab2 for not a whole lot of money. Or go for the Samsung Note2 and have the best of both.

I'll probaby go for the phone + Tab option mate, although I'll probably plump for the 10" version (me eye's aren't what they used to be)

Compare the speeds first before you decide, when you have a slow tablet you need a hobby to be getting on with during page changes.

Samsung Tab II mate, should be plenty fast enough for what I'm doing with it

Yup, I have one and I recommended the same to Karen off the Hull board, you won't go wrong.

Ended up with an S3 (£150) and a Tab 2 (£180)

Well pleased, cheers for the advice mate

The Mrs. dropped her Note 2 yesterday, nicely smashed screen. Is the key way to tell whether its the glass screen or the LED display thats cracked by a 'bleed' of colour or less use of touch screen? As it is currently working fine, and judging by a quick google search I'll be able to fix this for £10-15.

If the LCD panel is damaged you will get a bleed or black patch

Very nearly got them both myself on Thursday, however the deal from Carphone Warehouse was online only and Phones4u across the road had the s3 on its own for nearly a tenner less per month so went with that. Very pleased so far, massive upgrade on my Wildfire S.

Re: More Mobile Phone discussion : Wed Aug 07, 2013 5:11 pm  

ive just been offered the S4 on 3g for 13.25 a month with a 139.99 phone charge.... 100 mins unlimited texts and 500mb
also been offered the S3 LTE (is that the 4g?) on the same contract but only a £50 phone charge.
im only a light internet user.

are these good deals?

Any help would be greatly appriciated
