What's your phone?

I was tempted by the iPhone 6, but the price of the handset plus the contract is crazy. I got the Z3 which is the equivalent of the iPhone6 Plus, and it cost me £9 for the handset, and £37.99 a month for the contract. The same on the iPhone was £100+ for the handset, and £50+ a month for the contract.
Ha !!!! You don't know your alive over there .. I'm on a €42 a month contract and they want around the €250 mark for the iPhone 6 ( smaller model )

I'm on the iPhone 4s and am due an upgrade .. I am strongly thinking of the Samsung 5 however I know my way around the iPhone so well and love all it does but I want a bigger screen and the 6 is just tooooo expensive . Aprox €100 more than the Samsung and that is on a €42 monthly bill .

I also saw both iPhone 6 last Sunday and the Plus looked too big even for me using a Samsung Note. The iPhone screen was very bright. I thought mine was on the low setting but its brightness was already at the maximum and side by side I noticed the Samsung was more blue than real colours.

I quite like the iPhone because I already have so many applications and it is very convenient for sharing calendars between iPhones (and a Mac Air I use). The only problem is I have troubles typing on Apple touchscreens (iPod, iPad, iPad mini and iPhone 5), especially when clicking links or trying to edit a word. Funnily I have no problem with android based devices, from my phones to a Lenovo yoga tablet.

I am always on a pay as you go contract so I pay the phone full price. My monthly bill is around £10.

I have an iPhone 4S. The only reason I have it is because I bought it from my sister when she upgraded to a iPhone 5. I had been considering getting a Samsung. I does work well with my IPad Mini. I love the fact that the photos upload automatically to my IPad and my computer. :)

I have that with my Samsung :) When you buy it it, it usually comes with a 50gb Dropbox account. All photos taken with the phone go to Dropbox and then to my laptop (the one running Windows 8.1 Pro) and desktop as well.
I also have the icloud calendar working with my phone. It is an app you need to pay and it isn't expensive at all.

Currently have a Samsung Galaxy S-III. Eligible for upgrade, but in no hurry to do so just yet. I'm not an i-girl... My last phone was a Droid.

Dropbox works with android and ios. I use my onedrive account from Microsoft, as I have 1TB of storage with my office365 subscription

One thing I like with the iPhone/iPod is it asks you about what size you want to email your photo before sending it. With the Samsung Note I have been emailing full size photos. I know I can resize it using some apps but it is not as effortless as the iPhone.
There is always the possibility to send just links to Dropbox but still not the same.
