Always Samsung, better value.
I have a Galaxy Ace, can't fault it.

Apple and Samsung copy each other.

Sony Ericsson arc it's a good phone but I've had it over 2 years and need a change

Android is jolly good value, I've used mostly HTC's for the last 10 years...though I have tried an iPhone for 18 months (3GS) and it was excellent. Also tried Windows Mobile, that was horrid.

I guess it depends on the individual as to what is best for them...I don't think I'll be leaving Android phones unless it's for an Ubuntu Phone (should it get as far as actually being made lol).

There are stories like that for most of the phone makers, including Apple.

Lithium batteries can get hot when worked or charged hard...I think the 3GS used to catch fire when used as a SAT NAV on a sunny day...

You don't fancy an S4?

Everyone keeps telling me to get the iPhone 4S not the 5 cos of problems but I am liking android it's never caused a problem. I wish Sony would release a phone that's better than the one I have.

Got to go for the Samsung Galaxy S4, 90% of my recent posts have been made using one and (touch wood) haven't offended anyone... at least with spelling/auto correct errors anyway.

Oh yeah and its a great phone.

Jesus!!!! Reading them two plastic cups and a ball of string sounds good.

I wouldn't worry about it, aside from not charging your phone when your not with it you should be fine. I've seen all kinds of battery go bang over the years (used to work in the battery industry), it's a chemical reaction, bound to have the odd one go wrong....given the millions of units that get made really very safe.

Both myself and Mrs MWS have had Galaxy Aces for a while, now. No problems. Samsung being our phone of choice for years. Until recently my daughter has had a Blackberry, which she hated with a passion. She has recently changed to an S4, which she now firmly believes to be " Rovers Gonads ".

Yeah, Blackberry, total and utter rubbish aren't they....and in some financial grief too, I'm expecting them to go the way Nokia nearly went...falling sales then out of business

I have a Sony Xperia, happy with it and as soon as the contract is up I'll keep it and go on giff gaff.
