I'd probably be much the same with my Samsung Galaxy S2, but it was driving me up the wall with battery life (2 or 3 charges a day) and unreliability (unexpected reboots). I spent a good while trying to decide what to get and not really seeing anything worth getting. In the end it finally gave up the ghost after about 3 years (very dissapointing life span to my mind). My new phone arrived on the day the new Ubuntu phone was announced ironically. I ended up with a LG G3 in the end. It worked out cheaper over the potential 2 year contract to go SIM only and buy the handset seperately. This was cheaper than a lesser spec phone on contract too. I could have saved a bit buying a cheaper handset only, but nothing quite matched up to my spec requirements for much less than the G3 which is available at a surprisingly good price given the spec. I got my son a Huawei Y550 which, bar a very small 4G memory is a surprisingly nice phone - especially for the £35 I paid for it! A bit more memory and I may have gone for one myself. -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 ============================================================================= Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Ralls House, Parklands Business Park, Forrest Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6XP -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
