I don't regret going from iPhone 3GS to the OSD. Me and the wife both bought one for £99 each brand new. I did look at the Nexus 4 but I don't like the idea of the glass back, seems a little easy to break, and the design was dull and uninspiring. Maybe the next Google phone will have more of a wow factor ?

I must confess, £99 really is pretty hard to beat for such a stunning phone!

Considering jumping ship to the razr i tbh. For me its all down to the build quality, the cheap plastic and horrible power button are ruining the experience.

Watch the Orange website I got mine for £79.99 plus £7.50 cashback through Quidco was a gift

But if you think battery life is bad on this don't get an n4

I don't know why you are saying that.

Battery life on the N4 is *significantly* better than it ever was on the OSD for me. Naturally I'm using pretty much the same apps on both.

Exactly, for this price you cannot complain. Although I would happily pay a lot more for the privilege of not dealing with Orange...

I've not tried an N4 so can't comment on it but I've never had an issue with the OSD's battery life since rooting and deleting Social Gallery.
Are you comparing the OSD with or without Social Gallery?

Because I was getting a screen on time of less than 3 hours on the n4 and up to double that on osd.
Maybe if you seldom have the screen on it might be better.

Please expand on this. Since the 'phone is £99 or less, one cannot complain, I feel.

Well pick a random phone at less than £100 and enjoy it then.

I have a friend who bought the razr, built like a tank, but she hates the Motoblur etc, she would gladly give it away, her previous phone was a Galaxy Ace

I am thinking of moving to lg optimus 4x HD due to the fact I need the one plan for unlimited tethering. Anyone had experience of this phone?

Thats just the problem isn't it, even on ebay, a good condition RAZR i is £170... nearly double the cost of a brand new OSD. So I'm just casually waiting for a bargain and will use the OSD until then, it's so close to being a perfect phone!
