Hi, with much thanks to my network, I have been offered a free handset upgrade in January. Currently I have an iPhone 4S, and while I do like it's functionality, I find the camera a bit limited. As I love taking pics of the cats - especially when they are doing something really silly or cute, the phone is usually the easiest to grab. So far, I have "limited" my choices to the following:
iPhone 5
Galaxy S3
Nokia Lumia 820
And some consideration to a decent Blackberry, although I had one some time ago and found the buttons really fiddly.
So, what do I need? -
Easy to text/make calls
Facebook & Twitter
Email
Quickly able to add photos to facebook/twitter or email from albums
offline photo storage (cloud account)
Good web browser
Wireless/3G internet connection
Able to customise ringtones
Silent/vibrate modes
Calendar
Good contact memory, with ability to store several phone numbers/email/twitter and facebook details under one contact name
Bluetooth
Ease of music library - including downloadable music (similar to iTunes)
ebook app or something - ideally able to link to Kindle account
Good camera
So, not much then
I use all of the above on a regular (often daily) basis so all are of equal importance. if I have to compromise on anything, it would be the downloadable music.
If anyone has any other suggestions, please feel free to suggest. Many thanks
