    I've already got a smart phone that I need to charge every day.

    I won't be buying another smart phone until they improve battery life. I don't really care what version of android it has or what camera etc.

    That is becoming the accepted standard, as phones become more powerful we're not going to see any huge improvement in battery life. I'm happy with nightly charging.

    A second battery is the job if you can't charge every night..

    Why is this thread still open? It's not a bargain alert. If people want to discuss tariffs for the sgs3 there's a thread on the android forum.

    Can you not just ignore this thread instead of whingeing about it.

    Nope, their just looking to cause a pointless argument, what's better for you may not apply to everyone else

    Just trying to save people money.

    When the competition released a better product the previous year, you might want to rethink your "bargain".

    No one mentioned the iPhone 4S, the fact that it is a superior product in your opinion is totally irrelevant in the bargain alerts forum of all places. The idea of a bargain is totally opinion based also, just because it is not for you, it doesn't mean it isn't for anyone else, and given the tone of responses so far in the thread, plenty people clearly consider this to be a bargain, clearly.

    And save people money eh? Given iPhones usually have their own contract plans on some networks because they're so expensive, I'd beg to differ

    You see everyone who buys a high end phone thinks theirs is the best, why else would they buy their respective phone?

    The problem with iPhone fanboys is their need to constantly voice that opinion, the "Its better cos I say so" kind of argument.

    Going off topic so better bring it back. If anyone's looking to increase storage, look no further than this. I got a class 10 microsd but I dont think there's any point really, havent noticed any difference on my s2. An extra 16Gb for under €10, thats something the iPhone doesnt have the capabilities for, by the way :)

    This pointless argument has been going on for years and has become really dull.
    If you want an iPhone, buy one. If you want a Samsung galaxy whatever, buy one of those, and anyone that tries to tell you you're wrong is a fool.

    If you're an Eircom customer...

    The S3 is available for €239 with a monthly plan of €34.50 for unlimited calls, texts and 15GB data per month...!

    The phone may be on the more expensive side, but with that price plan, it is quite a good deal. You'll need an eircom account number/voucher code though.

    Ye might have already seen the thread in bargain alerts here

    Data is unlimited with three, though the fair usage policy says that the connection may be throttled after 15GB.

    OMG 300 FLEXI UNITS! YAAAAAY :rolleyes:

    I'd use that in the first day. as posted Unlimited texts calls and data for alot less with a free s2 on eircom, so every post backing up this deal is hereby INVALID

    Really....you'd use 600 texts in a day or you'd talk for 5 solid hours?

    The 40.66 deal on three is pretty good I am on one now which I got an IPhone in the bundle, I sold the phone for 400e the day after I got it and use my trusty Desire instead. So for me it works out at 24e a month for all you can use data (which I tether all my torrents from) 200mins and 200 texts. The only catch is voicemail costs so make sure to call into your voicemail when possible from another phone.

    Hullo mail, its a voicemail app, so free voice mail (the app is free too)

    Been with three for nearly for years, no complaints about service here.

    Not to mention three's crap coverage (for me at least).

    I can't take calls at my desk in work and I can bearly make calls in my apartment. I'll be moving once my contract is up.

    Bit extreme moving house because of mobile reception IMO. :pac:
