Bought an iphone 4s about 2.5 years ago and it's still going strong and has been very good. Better spec smartphones were and are available but the 4S is good enough, runs IOS 8 and does actually seem to last. Still a large number of 3gs in use and they still have some £ value - none of my other phones have lasted this long.

HTC one m8. Still the best phone ever made.

Sony z3 looks very good, waterproof too.

£170?

You should get the screen for £30-£60 depending on COPY vs OEM

Fitting is about £20-£40

I have the iPhone 6 plus and tbh I don't know how I have done without it lol.

Awesome phone! Running full cleaner planer is also great!

I started off with an HTC HD2 - dire phone and appalling customer service + stitched up from the provider ! Have they improved significantly ?

I currently have an Iphone 4s and bought a Griffin survivor case really robust plastic and rubber case almost bullet proof , Dropped on a ruff dolomite track it bounced 3 times and no damage at all .

BEWARE OF FAKES ON EBAY AND AMAZON , Got mine a few months back of Carphone warehouse for £17.00 normally more expensive .

ive had every iphone on the day they came out untill the 6, my 5 is still spot on and ive dropped it loads everytime i dropped the 4 i smashed it!
i am thinking of going android next as im getting bored with ios its same old and with reports of the 6 plus bending in peoples pockets doesnt sound good!
i believe the ip6 has technology thats years old in some android phones too,think apple arent leaders anymore and keep looking at the galaxy range.

+1 Had mine since may last year, with out a doubt the best phone I have ever owned, my upgrade is due in about
4 months, I will probably get the HTC M8.

Why would you sit on your phone?

just bought my i phone 6 two weeks ago, and have had text freeze on me all the time, taken it to Apply shop 3 times so far and every time, they say do this and do that and it will be o.k. still no joy  :-\
Going back there tomorrow again, see if i can change it.

A bit disappointing with this new i phone really.  :-\
