    Samsung Galaxy S

    Afternoon Experts,

    question, with my air miles I can get a Galaxy S (unfortunately not the S II)

    shall I get it ?

    or hang on until the S II is available on air miles ?

    Edward.

    Hang on until you can get a newer model.

    There is no point getting an older model phone if you can help it.

      WSS, and to be on the safe side I'd wait until the model after the newer one.

        How about an etch-a-sketch instead?

          Etch-a-sketches are really hard to keep in good condition.

          I found mine the other week from when I was 7.....

            You was seven last week?

            I'd lay off the Smirnoff in that case.

              That's still too advanced for Milan. Mud and a stick is probably a better bet.

              Actually on second thoughts you better not. He would fall head first into the mud and spear himself.

                As a proper response I doubt you'll ever get a current release phone through air miles.

                The galaxy S is a decent phone even now its just no longer state of the art. If the purchase price is equivalent to £180 of other goods its worth getting otherwise its probably not.

                  You've still the small matter of stumping up 3 or 4 hundred quid per year for the phone tariff, which dwarfs the phone cost.

                    Not always my three contract is £5 a month. (300 minutes / 5000 on network minutes and 2gb internet). Its perfect for me as I only use it to call the wife and surf the web.

                    Unless you use a lot of minutes you can get a decent sim only contract for a tenner or so a month without trying too hard.

                    As for the phone itself I picked up a virtually unused Galaxy S for £230 in december and will flog it for £100 or so this december and buy whatever replacement I can get for £250 or so (probably the galaxy S II).
