I blame my sister in law for this......

I never thought I'd get over my wife, until I realised I could get up and go around......

Meanwhile Apple are taking the word "cheap" iPhone quite literally:

TBH my Ativ S has a backplate which looks and feels very cheap when it's off the phone, but when it's on the phone it looks and feels fantastic.

Indeed we'll have to see. There's little doubt the build quality won't be as good. But then it wouldn't be.

The huge screen doesn't deter you? I draw the line at 5 inches for a smartphone screen, really. But I guess it's okay as long as you're looking for a phablet.

With the amount of people I see carrying an iPad mini or Nexus, size can't be that big of an issue. Sure I'll probably look like a douchebag while making calls. If I can get a reasonable amount reading done on it and it fits in my jacket pocket and the battery lasts a day, I think I would be quite happy with it. Lack of Flash is a real bummer though.

Hmmmm decisions! I'm debating buying either an iphone 4(not the 4s) or a samsung galaxy s3 mini.
Ive heard good and bad things about both phones so can anyone on here help?
Can't hurt to have a second opinion from folk who know more!

I would get neither. A Nexus 4 should be the same price as them, and it is by far superior.

The S3. No point getting the iPhone 4; too old.

I'd rather have a Galaxy S2 than an S3 mini.
