Galaxy S3 or Note 2

[fiza]

I purchased an S3 for my daughter from 3. £32 for 500 mins(I think), 5000 texts and according to the sales guy totally unlimited (no fair use clause) internet.

What are people currently paying for S3/Note2 per month -not including fantastic deals that you Lord Sugar wanabees have negoiated - just looking for the normal going rate

£25/£30/£35/£40???

£36pm with 600mins/unlimited txts and 1gb data. with orange with an early upgrade.

Just to put this out there, I have a Samsung Nexus, I didn't pay a penny for the phone and I pay £13.50 per month. Ha, top that. The Nexus is an AMAZING phone though.

S3 (phone was £50), T-Mobile, £27.50 pcm, unlimited internet, texts and T-mobile calls, 2000 minutes for other calls

EDIT: it's worth noting got the phone release week and have been with T-Mobile for years, so it's sort of a fine balance in that I got some discount on my plan (Full Monty, usually £36) but as it was a new phone still had to put up some cash for it. You could probably match my deal now without paying for the phone if you point out the S4 is just around the corner...

Ended up costing me another 5 month than previous contract but they gave tons of dosh to buy out of old contract in exchange for old s2 and I now have a note 2

Some how I think they got the better deal since you have to stay with them for longer.

You can always tell a pessimist from an optimist

Mobile phone economics defy logic and someone somewhere ALWAYS gets a better deal.: )

Its great for posting on here while installing printer driver.

SlideIT is definitely easier/more accurate than on S2

Have you tried out multi-window yet? That's awesome, and I believe the first instance of real multi tasking on a smart phone
(by first I mean Samsung were first, it first appeared on the Note and later on S3 via an update)

When the phone company offer you a new phone turn it down and ask for a cheaper contract. I am with T-Mobile and get 500 mins + 500txts 3gb (but it is not capped) for £10 per month

True, but no good if you want a new phone. I understand that you could save the difference and outright buy a new phone in 12 months, but who's got that kind of patience?
