New mobile phone

Sipnogard · 1st March 2014, 21:10

I apologise for this being a 75 free thread.

I am looking to get a new mobile phone and wondered what others would recommend.

It's main job will be as a phone not a camera so ideally it should hold a signal well with good quality sound and speech. A battery that will last all day with 3-4 hours of talking during the day. Connect to the internet with the ability to act as a mobile wifi hot spot.

Must have blue tooth (think they all do anyway) so that it will link to the hands free kit in the car, which is a low mileage 75 tourer with only 210k miles on the clock ( there you go, I did manage a 75 connection after all

).

Thanks for your thoughts

I'm an iPhone user, but the HTC One gets some good reviews!

How can you pre-order a phone which hasn't been launched, yet alone unveiled yet?

If you only want a phone to call, you can buy new phones from supermarkets for around a tenner which does everything you need, and better still, they won't be flat after two hours of talking

However, something better would be the Nokia 6310i. Just a phone for calling. I haven't used mine for at least a year and tried turning it on the other day. Would you believe it still had half charge left?
