"They a great phone but it totally depends on your network. I moved from voda to 3 and its been crap. The phone needs great data coverage or it cant do half the stuff it wants too and 3 just dont have anything like the 4g coverage that voda have. It will eat its battery looking for a data signal if the coverage is poor. The biggest problem with the edge is getting a case to protect it in case you drop it. " I've network 3 and have no bother with but my fella has it and his is crap | |||

"24x€55= €1320+199=€1519 wouldn't be for me now...would you pay 700 for a Samsung or iPhone?" Doesn't appear to be much of a deal from the figures. Maybe if you use the EU roaming a lot and it covers data as well as voice it might be worth it. If I was spending that kind of money I'd just get an iPhone | |||

"But look what it works out for the year" i put 30 a month in my phone at mo. sometimes more if data runs out. 30 x 12 = 360 plus price of phone which I think was 690 = 1,050. That's for one year. all these high tech Samsungs and iPhones are collosal when totted up | |||

I've the oneplus one for ages and it's still going strong. that's S5 level spec for half the price. I'm just coming off my contract, and i think anyone going on a fresh contract is mad, especially if they shop smart and buy one of the lesser well known brands with similar spec, unlocked and just jump networks when a better deal comes along. simples. | |||

"From what I read online..and problems with my own phone if the internal memory is low an sd card will be off no use. It may allow you a few extra apps but nothing like how high they state." Depends on how much internalemory the phone has, but a minimum of 32 GB is needed for a decent amount of apps people on average are running nowadays. What eats memory for breakfast nowadays is all them dirty pictures and videos we all have on them.... 
That's where the extra memory (SD and/or internal) comes in handy... | |||

"Haven't owned one but have heard good reports on the Wileyfox, top model is only around €220...but check with Madcat. "
Decent low priced mid specced phone, will actually do well for a lot of people that wouldn't actually really benefit from flagships.
Came out well in tests compared to others in its price class. | |||

"DO NOT buy a new phone right now! Mobile World Congress happens end of Feb in Barcelona and majority of new models are launching there. Samsung will launch S8 there or separate event by end of March with S8 expected in shops April/May. S7 can be had for £500 on certain sites now with Edge version about £50 more. This will drop by likely 100 once S8 comes out. Then get an iD or Tesco SIM only contract for €30 or less which comes with unlimited/15GB+ data and 5000/unlimited texts/mins. Work that out and it's way cheaper than any 24mth contract. Do get insurance, unless you can check if your home contents insurance covers the S7 already. Madcat is correct in all he says too and OnePlus highly rated phones but, personally, if I had the money, I'd go Samsung as they've never let me down. Still have an S4 along with Motorola X Play and the S4 is two years older but has almost everything as good, other than battery life. Not bad for a 2013 phone!" No point holding out just for the S8.. we may not get them in Ireland.. its quite possible.. the Note 5 was not here.. and we seen what happened the Note 7.. | |||
