I appreciate Hexus forums more...

...after spending some time on other forums. There’s actually room to have heated (mostly civil) discussions on here without getting the moderator treatment. I’ve been put on probation on another forum for daring to disagree with and questioning the norm. Nothing remotely heated on my part, in fact very docile in my books.

Yeah, I should go into the Scan forums and post OverclockersUK > Scan?

My fault for not taking the hint when they banned me the first time for my second post on there where I supplied evidence from the Land Registry to back my claims. Ban-hammer!

Although, bit quiet at work so need to skim/troll for a nice thread to participate in!

The one where they want house prices to crash.

Samsung Galaxy S II or iPhone 5? Seriously too . Out of contract now and need a new mobile for no other reason than it’s been 2 stinkin’ years with the current one and I’m bored.

Wait until the iPhone 5 is out TBH.

An important thing. Make sure you calculate the total cost of the contract over two years.

As far as talking about retailers its great, Cripsy the Scan enforcer will wade in if they are involved but it isn't too bad.

Heated debates tend to be watched closely by mods and they make sure you know they are. Still my only compy forum though.

We need more people doing more talking though really, but we have for a while.

I generally stick to £30-35/mth plans because that’s all the calls/SMS/data I need. Now that’s I’m on SIM only or whatever that call it, the premium looks like it was about £10/mth so not too shabby.

Rave has a forum?

I quite like the look of the new Xperia Arc...cheaper too.

Indeed, although not sure if the “rantnrave” user on there is him?

Rave, if you read this I’m not having a dig at you, I know you frequent the forum in some form anyway.

They are quite hostile towards those that question the mantra. Seem to dislike landlords and think most home owners are losers too. I questioned the mantra, I’m a landlord, and I own a home. Three strikes! Would’ve been a faster ban if I dared to say, “Renting is dead money”.

I think TheAnimus would love it there.

Even another £10 a month means £240 over two years. Also beware of having to pay more money upfront for the actual phone. You could easily be spending £300 to £400 extra.

For a £30 to £35 tariff you should get a free phone and the allowance you need as it is a 24 month contract.

In the past contracts were around the same price each month and were only 12 months long. The smartphones in the past tended not to be any cheaper too as they were £500 to a £1000 for the handset only in many cases.

Does it sport a powerful processor for good HD (well, mobile phone version of "HD") gaming? My current route to work has me underground for most of the tube journey so need offline amusement.

Following on from my previous post in this thread for around £400 you can a fully unlocked LG Optimus 3D handset:

It will not have any of the annoying network branding too.

Vodaphone have it free for £35/month:

However,going with a SIM only contract works out cheaper by over £70 over two years:

I would also look at giffgaff too.
