Since some of you that read the bitching session know I got robbed and need a new phone. I had a samsung galaxy S4, but I'm open to suggestions for a new phone. The budget is about 500-550€

Is it important for you to be able to remove the battery or insert an SD Card?

If not, go for the LG G2. It feels solid, looks great and is very fast. The speaker on the S4 is better but with the G2 no calls dropped so far. (I have so many phantom calls with my S4 Mad)

Getting used to a non amoled was quite interesting, yet it still looks very good and the battery is just awesome.

+ The S4 has the build quality of a snickers wrap Sad

Dude if I were you I'd get one of these
 Spoiler:
 


If you ask me walking around with a smartphone in a place like that is like asking to be robbed.
I always take my trusty nokia outside for calls n shit and nobody even wants to take it for free let alone rob it. I keep my S2 at home or take it in a safe wifi place.

Yeah I didn't really like the plastic feel of the s4. Hardware wise it's a great phone. The Lg G2 and the Nexus 5 look interesting. Do they have that plastic feel to them? The Lumia 930 seems like a great phone but I'll be buying the phone from the Netherlands and the price will probably to high.

Whatever Fire is trying to sell you, don't buy it!
The last time I ordered some fancy Prada shoes from him and got Crocs instead Cool Face Very Happy

All jokes aside, I'd avoid the S4. It does its job just fine for me, but there are indeed better alternatives around, cheaper also.

I quite like my lg g2. The only downside is the software, which is a bit bloated, but with a debloated rom and a camera mod it's a cracking phone. Smile

The G2/Nexus 5, as the G/Nexus 4 before it, is really well built. Haters gonna hate, but the only smartphones you'll find that get the same value for money are the One Plus One and Xiaomi Mi3.

And there's none of the bloatware on them.

I'm most likely going to get the LG G2 (just waiting to see what the G3 will do to the G2 prices), so it's the best phone ever made and ever will be made (untill I get a new one). I think that answers your question.

Bought this some months ago. I'm very happy with it. If you want so save a lot of mp3 and pictures it's not your primary choice, also the cam is crap when lighting isn't perfect. So nothing for people that think a phone should be used as a primary camera. On the other side it's a fast phone ("minimal" preinstalled apps etc.), it's not too big or heavy and the battery doesn't empty up too fast.

Try this: http://www.meenova.com/st/p/m3r.html. I was very close to buying a Moto G and meenova adaptor. But then I saw an offer for Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus for 15 euro with the deal its goes "up" to 45 euro, but thats still with 4 hours of talk for free.
I do know that the actual phone sucks, but it will be my first smartphone, so what the heck Smile

Ya 4 hours free a month for 6 months, thats fine for me. Still think I got an ok deal, when I dont need a better phone. But that was a side story, I just posted to let Flipp know of the Meenova sd card option.

DK seems to be quite expensive in regards to mobile contracts :/ I got my wife the LG G2(32GB), unlimited calls to all carriers, 500mb hspa, unlimited gprs for 25€(or 29€ don't remember) a month.

Question: Is it possible get a used phone for a maximum of 200 EUR, that specs-wise is better than the Galaxy S3? I've been out of the loop for a long time on phones I reckon..

Only reason I'm asking is because I've managed to crack the display on my S3. Nothing bad and it's just a hairline crack, barely noticeable. And I have no need to buy a completely new one. But if there is something that is a small step up from the S3 and in decent condition, then I might switch Smile

Its 45 euro total for the phone and 6 months with 4 hours free talk each month. Sorry if I was not clear. But ya would have like that phone you are talking about if the contract period was for a year or less.

And yes DK is expensive with everything Laughing
