Recommend me a phone

[Pub247]

So im after a new phone it doesnt have to be the lastest or greatest. Probably on a plan and don't want expensive plan.

Really i don't use my phone much for internet only browsing i dont play games on it and i dont make many calls.

I have an i phone 4s currently and i dont want another i phone they really annoy me now. But there is one feature that i love and hate on the iphone and that is the ipod part. what annoys me about ipod parts is itunes ####ing hate it with a passion.


So i need a phone that has a good music/ipod type function has headphone jack as i listen to it alot at work.

Phones i've looked at on the net are the nexus 5, Galaxy S4 and the note 3.

I like the nexus downside is it telstra only plans i've found and i hate telstra i don't care how good their network is i'll never go near them again. Don't partically want to fork out 450 odd to buy one outright.

I like the note the size of screen looks appealing to me but the cons are the size. Does it fit ok in pockets? (i have big pockets in work pants) Are they a durable phone or rather fragile?

S4 looks good it cheap now the 5 is out and i guess its like a smaller version of the note and thats really the downside for me. i prefer the larger screen of the note as it would be better for browsing.


Any other options/ opinions i'm all ears

I have a Note 3. Zippy phone. Every one goes on about how big it is but it is fine for me and I really enjoy the screen size. I have a case on it as well which increases bulk but it still fits in my standard business work pants fine. Battery life is pretty good but you can easily upgrade it anyway. Mine lasts me about a week and that's me checking facebook and forums between jobs a bit.

I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 and I have been very happy with that. Which means I would definitely recommend the S5. My mum just bought a new iPhone 5S and she is very happy with it and says it's really easy to use. Just depends what you like.

Thats good to hear if it fits in a pocket good then im pretty keen plans i've look at it seems good value to. Atm i charging i phone at least once a day sometime twice (####s knows why it uses so much battery sometimes).
