Default My phone is due to be updated, which one?

My contract is up in 2 months but i can upgrade on the 8th of August.
Probably gonna get a iphone tbh, but what other phones are available around the same spec which i can consider.
Not keen on getting iphone4 as the crap with the signal thing has put me right off.
I also detest apples sticky plaster fix with the case, it looks ugly and i dont want it, they are also out of stock.

Suggestions please...

Dont wanna start a whole new debate on the iphone, just suggestions i can look at.

Just look at every other iThread (there are PLENTY of them). All the suggestions you could possibly want are already there.

thats all your going to get in here, if you go search this has been discussed lots over the past few weeks/months seem there is a which phone thread once a week.
and my iphone4 works fine not had any problems with or without a bumper and is the best phone iv owned to date.

just get a 3gs instead of the 4, the only real benifit on the 4 is the camera to me, so if you can live with the 3gs camera wich has no flash but otherwise is ok, htc is about the only other worth looking at, just do a search for smart phones and compare them, but the iphone is just so easy to use, tothers still can't beat it imo.

i went from the 3g to the iphone4 and trust me its a big improvement,
just the multitasking alone does it for me not to mention the screen when i look at a 3g screen now it looks all pixelated all colours look washed out.
you carnt get an income Skype call or msn message without the app being open app on a 3g. and its x10 faster.

I'm un-subscribing from this thread now as im not going threw the same debate as every other mobile phone threadi normally get involved with

Aha, that's why i said to me, skype don't use it, don't need it, just use the included mins, never go over. I admit the screen may be better but what you have never had you never miss, at least that's what i keep telling myself. edit you still get the multi tasking on the 3gs, so that includes most of the new stuff that the 4 has.

If you're considering getting an Iphone 4, consider the fact that it may be cheaper to buy pay as you go and get the 30 day simplicity plan than to actually get one on contract!

My wife has the 3Gs and i use that a bit so know a bit about using one.
She hasnt had any problems with hers at all.
The ipnone4 would win apart from the signal drop thing, i cannot stand that stupid thing they call a case to stop the problem, what a crap soilution that is, cant understand why the 3gs doesnt have that problem but the 4 does???
