    Make up my mind............... please

    Its either:

    iphone 4s free and €45 a month and buy beats headphones - 24 month contract
    HTC sensation XL €119 online for €40 a month (it comes with beats audio) - 18 month contract



    I am way to indecisive for this business!

    The XL isn't a great phone. It's too big, has got a poor screen, last generation processor and unusually for android phones, has no memory card slot. Of the two, I'd go for an iPhone 4S, but you may want to consider to the HTC XE which is a much better phone than the XL.

    Ah just because its not dual core no point writing it off.

    The Flyer and the XL use MSM8255. Now i havent used the XL that much. Its no slouch from the times i played around.

    But the Flyer is far faster than any other dual core tablet ive tested. The only place where it goes down in performance is when displaying flash content. Bench marks show that dual core works better for flash content.

    The screen resolution could be better. But its not as bad as every makes it out to be. One thing lower resolution will help you with is typing. The only place it will let you down is text on the web browser, you wont be able to read it without zooming in as you would on the iPhone4/4S.

    But yes if you had the option for XE go for it :P

    Either way i think their all decent phones

    That is all :)

    Is this your first smart phone on bill pay, you've picked 2 good phones but a network you could get fleeced on and can't use all the phones features on it. Hvae a look at the other networks before you walk into a very restrictive contract or you'll be kicking yourself in a few months.
