This phone, that phone, the other phone.
The only phone you need is two empty baked bean cans, joined by a piece of string.
The reason the country's going down the shitter, is because everyone and his uncle are on their mobile phones 24 hours a day.
Mobile phones are the work of the Devil.
P.S.
Tonight I am mostly drinking Brandy.

I know for a fact that most of you are on Drugs.

Android Nexus 4 direct from Google.
Android vs iOS:
At the moment Android via Google Play has the same number of apps as the Apple App store despite the fact it has the most free apps. Android has over 75% of the world smart-phone market (which means its will be the future as it is dominating). Updates for the system come out more often for Android if your phone supports it which we shall go into below. Google's cloud experience (calendar, email, contacts, tasks, file storage) is better than Apples apart from iTunes. After Google wins the store developers over (Apple apps often rape their customers and therefore the devs get more money...that is for now) which should happen in the next 6 months, then iTunes is all Apple have left. So, watch Google attack that next.
Nexus 4 vs other Android phones:
It is not quite as good as the S4 but has one big advantage that none of the other phones have. And that is because its what Google call a "Nexus Experience" phone this means that it will get all the software upgrades of Android soon after the new version comes out.
As opposed to the other Android phones whereby they may give you an update like 3-6 months in and may do that one more time if your lucky but after that they want you to buy a new phone so, do not really bother much. So, you won't get that many updates and they will be late if they do come.
Now it's important to get the updates such as 4.2 then 4.2.1 and then 4.2.2 and so on. And these may look like small point releases, but do not be fooled the optimisation of the software makes it perform better on each release. Thus in fact your phone gets faster and faster. Unlike Apples which goes slower and slower. They also come with features that can be significant. And because the Nexus phones use vanilla stock Android they do not come with the crapware that the other manufactures force onto your phone.
So, Nexus 4, job done.

Nexus 5 is rumoured to be out soon, so maybe hold off the 4.
Also you can't get it on contract anywhere you have to buy in one go direct from google. While it's great value (Google's nexus proposition is to sell high end kit at cost to get people into the android ecosystem) that can be a barrier if you don't have £300 knocking around |  | | |

Hi,
You can get it on contract here:

As for Nexus 5, it will probably be out in October true. But if he needs it now then Nexus 4 is it.
I would predict that the Nexus 5 will have LTE (in Wifi London is that big deal?), larger screen obviously, faster processor and Android 4.3.x (but we get the upgrades anyway on the Nexus route).
zzzzzzzzzzzzz |  |
