    So my emoblie contract ends very soon and im due an upgrade from my HTC Radar WP.
    Id like to go back to android and emobile are offering HTC Desire X,Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini or Motorola Razri for €89 then €30 off that via discounted bills.
    I could pay more for a more expensive phone but im not a heavy user and the tarriff im on with emobile suits me perfect and is only €19 per month.

    Any suggestions?

    Dunno about the other two but I've been using a Desire X for a few weeks now.
    I was using an S3 (not the mini, the high spec one) before.

    I've no problem with the HTC at all and everything I used the S3 for works fine on the X.
    I purchase the phones for my company and we're going to be using the Desire X in future.
    It is slower than the S3 but it's not annoyingly slow.
    The battery isn't spectacular. I generally have about 15% -> 20% left at the end of a day. So it needs charging every night.

    The version of Android on the Desire X is 4.0.4. I don't know if that's limited by Vodafone or HTC. It doesn't bother me though.

    For the price it's a great phone.

    Thanks a lot for your reply.
    Ive researched quite a bit this evening and i think ill go with the S3 mini.
    Nothing against the HTC, my last 3 phones were HTC and i fancy a change :)
    According to reviews they are both very similar in performance etc but the S3 mini has the latest jellybean where as the Desire X doesnt , also the offer from emobile has the S3 mini with 8GB but the Desire X only 4GB.

    I'd go with the RAZR i. The specs are very good and its a nice looking device. I thought the s3 mini got some pretty poor reviews?

    Didnt see any poor reviews, most just said its slower than its bigger brother and screen not as nice but i dont expect it to be.
    Having said that the razr i does look good, specs are better as is the screen.
    Im tempted.

    I decided to go with the Razr I, reviews are exceptional ,blows the others away tbh, too good to resist.
