  • Now the iPhone 5 is out, and I have an upgrade. What's the best phone to get? What's the best tariff from vodaphone?

    If you have a large iTunes music collection and are in the Mac ecosystem and happy with iTunes itself, then stay with the iPhone... you are now locked in for good.

    If you're free to move around, or prefer Gmail and Google Maps and generally use Spotify or your own music, then go Android.

    If you want Android, then the Nexus phones even though outdated still provide the best software experience.

    The Samsung Galaxy S3 provides the best hardware experience.

    Though I personally believe that software matters more than hardware and that the Nexus phones trump the better hardware provided by the more recently released S3 (or top of the line HTC phones such as the One X).

    Today, I would still get the Galaxy Nexus.

    That said... back in May, Google announced that "Fall" would see the release of several new Nexus phones. So it may be that if you're good for another month or two then your best option is just to wait for a bit. This is the pre-Christmas bit where you know a load of good products will come out with shipping dates around mid-November.

    tl:dr

    Today:
    Love Apple? Stick with the iPhone.
    Love hardware specs? Get the Galaxy S3.
    Love the best software? Get the Galaxy Nexus.

    In a month or two:
    Forget everything else, get the new Nexus.
