I know nothing about the berrys .... I upgraded to a samsung S3 about a year ago and find it great . I considered the S4 , but after reading all the reports and reviews, it seems the only real difference of note is a bigger camera.
I would recommend the S3 , an awesome piece of kit, and will more than likely be the last phone i buy.

Yea well i have a relatively low budget too. But thanks about the S3 i would buy a S3 or a I phone 4s if i had more money.

I rely on two empty baked-bean tins and a long length of string for remote audio communication!.... smile.gif ...!

Otherwise, its just a good-old Land Line telephone, involving very long lengths of copper wire... biggrin.gif ...!

I've got one of those new-fangled, (£25) mobile phone thingies, but its always switched off, and only carried for the purpose of contacting the break-down service for my Motorcycle.

Its amazing how peaceful and stress-free, life can be, without an object forever vibrating in ones trouser pocket......

...including a mobile phone!... blink.gif ....!

Paul....ZZZZzzzz..... laugh.gif ....!

Cheers mate, need a mobile for work and other important needs. such as contacting other people's mobiles. Since in some places they charge you a hefty fee for using a lan to contact a mobile. What type of bike have you got, (harley, Honda, Yamaha, Triumph, Bmw.)

If I want to contact someone, I mostly shout..loudly!.... laugh.gif ...!

Bikes: Loads since 1950, including Royal Enfield, BSA, Triumph, Norton, Matchless, AJS, Velocette, Vincent, Honda, Yamaha, etc, plus all the little ones in between!

The nearest thing to Sopwith Camels!

Paul ......still riding them, every day!..... biggrin.gif...!

Bike it...you'll like it!.... cool.gif ...!

The alternative is a long length of garden hose-pipe with a funnel plugged into each end...and a pea-whistle to attract attention...

So many alternatives to a Mobile Phone... biggrin.gif ...!

Paul... cool.gif ...!

I agree with dash8captain, Blackberrys are one of the most secure phones in the world, although my brother owns a S3, and I have an iPad, This can be quite confusing whether which phone fits best for him. unsure.gif
