Hello I listen to your podcast every week and I am exited to maybe be entered into the draw. But back to the point, for the last few weeks you have compared the Stockholm from orange, the smart from vodafone and the mini from samsung but never have you mentioned the fit from samsung also, it has a higher resolution screen than the mini and has a better processor than the mini but while it is hard to find the mini at under £120 you can get the fit and all it’s extras for under £100 at phones4u. Yes it is still £40 more than the Stockholm and the smart but it, in my opinion, is worth that bit more, because not only do you get a better screen, 2.6 vs 3.3, you get samsungs quality and the touchwiz user interface against the stock vanilla android. I bought the 845, the original vodafone own branded devices and it is shocking. Although the stats between all these devises are similar the samsung one shall just be better. Since the shocking vodafone I have upgraded to the torch 9800
and now I come on to my second point. I bought my torch in mint condition for £220 at www.ineedamobile.com there are some bargains to be had at this website. The 3GS, the galaxy s and the bold 9780 in grade a condition, mint condition with no scratches or marks, for £200 quid when these handsets are usually over £350. Check it out. I check out websites alot and can I say that phones4u is best for value but carphone warehouse is best for the range. Many thanks
