I love the "feel at Home" deals https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121274692 2016-09-02 08:17:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121274692 Looking at the tescos website the deals are good the handsets do not excite me though https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121276740 2016-09-02 08:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121276740 Huawei P9  https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121549007 Really liking the features of this phone. Only thing missing is it being water resistant. ]]> 2016-09-05 07:09:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121549007 Nexud https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121550025 This is a good phone and the contract isn't too bad. ]]> 2016-09-05 07:15:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121550025 Breaking the Apple habit https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121594180 I have been looking at a lot of other handsets as part of this research and each time i come back to the fact that I have an Ipad, Ipad mini and a macbook pro and the phone links into these seamlessly. I am worried that changing to another handset will be more trouble than it is worth. ]]> 2016-09-05 12:40:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121594180 Refurbished Phones https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121594447 Has anyone noticed that a few of the bigger phone providers offer refurbished phones. Tesco don't seem to have taken this on.]]> 2016-09-05 12:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121594447 Contract Length https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121595265 Having looked around it would seem that the default contract length is now 24 months. I looked at the Tesco Mobile site and the only 12 month contract I could find was for a very basic and limited phone. The issue with this is that tech moves so fast that many people want to upgrade the phone every 12 months. Upgrading whilst still in contract is very expensive.]]> 2016-09-05 12:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121595265 Capped Contract https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121595946 I really like the fact you can cap your monthly contract so you do not overspend.]]> 2016-09-05 12:56:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121595946 Lesser known brands https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121609844 The only thing that makes me nervous about lesser known brands is the level of support available if something goes wrong or you do not know how to do things.]]> 2016-09-05 15:08:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121609844 Hello I'm Charlie  https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121939473 These caught my eye although not the best brand or best known brand ]]> 2016-09-06 19:55:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121939473 Sorry having trouble uploading photos!  https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121939994 So I was looking at the cheaper contracts as this appeals to me right now I'm going on maternity leave soon so the actual phone isn't as important as it once was but the monthly price is. Tesco have some £7.50 contracts which appeal! EE Sim only deals suit me as I'm not worried about a new phone in so many months time]]> 2016-09-06 19:58:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121939994 It is also very important for me to have a capped contract going Over my allowances  https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121940917 2016-09-06 20:02:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/121940917 The Tesco site I found that you can get good deals on these phones but it is a 24month contract https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/122043620 2016-09-07 09:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/122043620 Hi, I'm Rich https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/122223584 I currently have a contract with O2 with an iPhone 6s plan. It is quite expensive and I am not sure I really need as much data and calls/texts as the plan gives me. I will be looking for a cheaper contract once this current one finishes. ]]> 2016-09-07 18:04:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/122223584 I have looked at the Alcatel idol 3 can't believe how cheap it is and for me who isn't really into gadgets seems to tick all the boxes !  https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/122266525 2016-09-07 20:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/122266525 https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/122267428 2016-09-07 20:15:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/122267428 Charlie  https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/122270353 I like the look of the nexus 6p one feature thatsticks  out is the rapid battery charging I have a Sony Xperia and feel the battery dies too quickly and takes a long time to charge ]]> 2016-09-07 20:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/122270353 Huawei P9 https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/122388051 Just been looking at the P9 and I love the Leica camera. It is far better than any other camera I have seen on a phone and would be a huge selling point for me. I use my IPhone 6s for taking a lot of photos ("the best camera is the one you have with you") and the increased quality with the P9 is impressive.]]> 2016-09-08 11:58:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/122388051 https://padlet.com/jem_keen/Handsets_4/wish/122515230 J3 looks like a good simple android phone.
