it's almost time to upgrade my phone and I have no idea what to go for, so am looking for suggestions for something small holding friendly. (surely that must exist)
My current phone is a nokia (it has buttons
) it does also have a touch screen and some apps but I'm increasingly finding I need something with a few more functions. So I guess I am finally ready to take the plunge into the world of smart phones.
My wish list is:
run on an android operating system (necessary for some of the apps that i want to use).
not break if I drop it on the yard ( I will buy a shock proof cover for it anyway but I have seen so many phones with broken screens from little knocks - nothing like what the old nokia has withstood)
be small. I ride and need the phone to fit in jodhpur pockets which tend to be on the small size. My current phone is about 12cm x 5cm and that fits fine. (I have tried mobile phone holders that fit to arms, legs, round the neck and onto the saddle but I still think the best place is in my pocket - less likely to lose it that way!)
Preferably available as a free upgrade. I have been with O2 for years so I do get a good selection of free phones.
have a decent battery life - I don't talk much on my phone but do use it to check emails and send texts. Some smart phones seem to need charging everyday.
Play music/radio
What do you suggest? are there any phones I should definitely avoid?
Thanks in advance
