        Currently looking at HTC Desire S. The new ones are probably quicker and such, but I don't need all that… Looking at a second hand one ("as new") for 90 quid...

              Just got an LG G2 for Verizon - great screen, almost no bezel at all - nice big 3000 mAh battery that  actually lasts a full day of hard use

                  I'm nearing the end of my contract and considering not even upgrading from my 4S. I have spent time messing around with a mates 5S and I know it's quicker etc…., but not stunningly quicker.

                      I'll put a small wager on you having a new phone in a year/1.5 years tops from now.

                        As I have no idea if my 4S will break in this time frame it would be a fairly stupid wager for me to agree. However, should you wish to insert a breakage clause I am willing to say I will go no higher than a replacement 4S for the next 12 months ($50 bet) or 18 months ($100 bet).

                          Let's go with something not money focused, playful style. Snail mail something as yet to be decided of low value.

                          in 18 months I have a feeling 1 of will likely happen;
                          a) the battery will not charge properly
                          b) the software will have security exploits that are not longer patched
                          c) new versions of software required to remain secure don't run
                          d) new must have 'apps' won't work properly

                          Don't forget the phones are designed with a certain planned obsolescence regardless of your usage.

                          Breaking aside, let's play :). Best of luck to you :).

                              What Snowy said. All these phones are designed to have an expiration date. Judging from what Apple has done in the past, the iOS7 update will be the last for the 4S

                              After that, service based apps will cease to work, which personally, I can't have.

                              I probably could have held out another year on my 4S, but the sooner I upgrade my phone and sell the old one, the more money I can get back for the old one. Jody and I broke even by upgrading, which was pretty cool

                              I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                Course not :). All in good spirits. Would love to be wrong, here, from both a software/hardware PoV, and also getting to send you something…in 18 months 🙂

                                  Put it this way guys, I will hold up my end of the bargain so lets see if Apple do theirs.

                                  So long as I can use it as a phone, camera, access Safari, Email, Facebook, eBay, Instagram and do currency exchange it will do for me. I literally use nothing else at all  🙂

                                  Likewise Snowman, lets see what happens dude  😉

                                    I don't agree with planned obsolescence conspiracy theories. It's entropy and technology limitations. Batteries and flash memory degrade and software gets more complex so hardware requirements get more robust. And there's no reason to spend a bunch of money trying to get advanced preservation technologies into these things because that ignores how technology (let alone phone contracts) works. Unless there's ever a modular platform, phones will always obsolesce in a certain timeframe.

                                    Think it, be it.

                                      My cousin is still using an iPhone 3, not 3G or 3GS and 3 !!!!!! This gives me confidence.

                                        I feel like you're leaving money on the table if you don't upgrade ASAP, you're paying for the phone subsidy each much anyway.  But I can see the argument that 200 or so for the upgrade isn't worth it if there aren't any new features.

                                          Works differently here dude, as soon as my contract is up I can drop the monthly cost of my tariff dramatically.

                                            I use my phone as a phone and a modem, I need a 5 like I need a hole in the head.  I will replace the 4S I lost in Thailand with a 4 (because we have one lying around).  I virtually never leave the house without my iPad or MacBook Air, my phone gives me the connectivity I require to use (what I believe to be a) proper computing device….
