Looking for help in choosing a smartphone.
Primary use will be as a modem to connect with itouch and laptop.
I would also use it for skype / viber, but am keen to try this on my 2nd gen itouch too. I am told it works ok with an external mic.
Someone suggested the galaxy mini with prepay on tesco. Some posters here say tescomobile is very slow? Would this matter for voice only calls?
