If it's not an iphone it's not a phone :P

You can pick up some cheap iphone 4/4s' around the place.

My Samsung Galaxy S2 has served me fairly well since I got it...

So yeah an S4 or S5 (when it gets released soon) could be an option)

Really Nige?

Dad got one and it's been nothing but shower, has terrible battery life, drains after like 2 hours, haha.

Get an IPhone. ;)

Which model, how long have you had it and is it Jailbroken?

I know a lot of friends who have complained about how shower the battery life of their iPhone is.

My S2 isn't bad,  but it's kinda flowered up in the sense that the battery symbol in the top corner of the screen generally doesn't accurately depict how much battery is left (it's notorious for showing half battery when I have like 30% left).

No I am not, haha. They were pretty simple questions although they didn't look it.

I have had a 4 for two years and it's rock solid, good battery life dropped it about 50 times some of them pretty ridiculous drops and it's going strong. I was once at the back of the bus on a downhill road, dropped it, it slid to the front of the bus and smashed into the barrier thingy, haha.

Never had problems with battery life on iPhones
Its quite easy to make your battery last longer by turning off things like bluetooth and making the screen darker.
My son had a samsung galaxy and hated it it continuously froze and wouldn`t turn on plus it was shower when trying to browse on it and battery life was pretty shower as well now has a second hand iPhone and has no problems with it.

This says enough. Vinny's one of those cool kids.




My S2 freezes occasionally and overheats sometimes as well, but that's fairly sporadic.
