Galaxy Ace Plus phone advice...

by **janey** Mon Mar 25 2013, 21:19

Does anyone rate a blackberry curve? Been offered a great deal which includes the net. 800 mins unlimited texts and net for £15 p/m?

http://www.virginmobile.com/vm/viewProduct.do?productId=23541828

Its with virgin but thats just a pic not the tariff. Any advice welcome, ideally I wanted an iphone but get a great contract with virgin as I have been with them for years and they don't do iphones.

Thoughts please clever ones Xx

My Dad got one on his contract a while back and it seems really good. But the buttons are very small and hard to type anything I find.

by **racamoe** Mon Mar 25 2013, 21:22

I don't know much about phones ......My daughter has the curve and she loves it...I don't like the small keys personally...she has never had any technical problems with it. Smile

How much will you be paying for Blackberry Messenger ?

by **janey** Mon Mar 25 2013, 21:26

Nothing Kathy as far as I am aware, I want it for things like ebay so I can take photos and put them directly onto there rather use a pc, the keys are fine for me I samsung G600 at the mo, had it for years, just want some advice before I go into a 24mnth contract X

by **rebeccaleanne** Mon Mar 25 2013, 21:40

my step sister got a black berry at xmas she now wants the iphone. i herd it was more for emails/business so if thats what you do then could be for you.

I would always recommend the iphone, i find it easy to use for internet and emails to me its an all rounder Smile

janey ask for the samsung galaxy s3 mini with 500 minutes 500 texts and 1.75gb of download £19 a month just getting that deal for the wife Galaxy Ace Plus phone advice... 833335

with virgin

by **janey** Mon Mar 25 2013, 23:05

Is that a better phone than the blackberry wazza?

by Guest Mon Mar 25 2013, 23:12

The blackberrys are ok, but not brilliant. My oh had a curve & now has a bold, but he has trouble getting the internet up at times. My boss had a bold & the cursor stopped working after a couple of months (I've heard that's a common problem) although my oh hasn't had any real probs apart from the internet.

by **rebeccaleanne** Mon Mar 25 2013, 23:13

iphone janey haha.................

by **janey** Mon Mar 25 2013, 23:16

Anything is better than mine, just wanted opinions, I usually only use it for calls/texts but with this traiff I get the net which I can't use on my phone ...
have 5 days to change to a better tariff with a blackberry but yes there for 2 years but have been with them for 15 now anyway, hence why I think its a good deal?

Can't afford one and don't want to change from virgin who don't do it yet, so is a blackberry a close comparison?

if you think the allowance would suit and you wouldnt run over (mines unlimited on everything as one month can be diff to the next) then go for it. the blackberry is very business type of phone, i wouldsay iphone if you can get or a samsung

TBH janey these days all networks have brill tariffs i just got new iphone 5 for £41 a month cheaper than my last iphone but it pays for what i use.

may be shop around with other networks aswell.......

by **janey** Mon Mar 25 2013, 23:28

God you guys don't help!! Is a blackberry good or not, its a great tariff, but I have never been in a contract!

Blackberry Curve, Unlimited texts/internet, 800min calls, £15 p/m, 24 month contract? Yay or nay!

Iphone out the question, even though I love it!!

Personally i would say no........ What about old iphone 4? I just got rid of that and it had same software as iphone 5. i would say shop around look a what else is on offer

by Guest Mon Mar 25 2013, 23:43

I have to have internet access on my phone!

But even so, I wouldn't personally recommend the blackberry. There are other, better phones that you can get good deals with.

by **janey** Mon Mar 25 2013, 23:50

Caryll what would you recommend? I am sticking with virgin so iphone is off the list

by Guest Tue Mar 26 2013, 00:00

Depends how much you want to pay!

I love the windows phones, but they're a bit pricey. The Samsung Galaxy II is supposed to be very good, and as it's now been overtaken by the Galaxy III (or an even more recent model) it usually quite cheap.

by **Mattylee** Tue Mar 26 2013, 06:29

IMO Janey, I wouldn't bother with a blackberry. As an iPhone is off the list, I would lean towards the galaxy. My OH has the galaxy s3 and loves it. Bearing in mind she had a blackberry beforehand. I personally prefer full touch screen. But, on the other hand that tariff is bang on. But, be careful as it does say unlimited Internet, it will most prob be fair usage. So if ur always on it watching tv etc, u start gettin grief. Samsung galaxy s3 on that tariff! Winner! call me

Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus in White, coming tomorrow dance

by **Kathy** Tue Mar 26 2013, 11:52

Well done Janey, I have the Samsung Galaxy Ace, great phone cannot fault it really.

by Guest Tue Mar 26 2013, 13:15

I had two BlackBerrys, first was a Bold 9000, which I upgraded to a Bold 9700. I kept that one for about a month before changing it to a Samsung Galaxy S2 - the browser's so much quicker, the camera's better, the touchscreen's really easy to use - -just a better phone all round, in my opinion. I wouldn't go back to BB, there are much better options for a similar price (if not cheaper). If the Samsung's out of your budget, have a look at the HTC One X, they've had really good reviews from a couple of people I know that have them.

(I haven't read the whole thread, so I'm sorry if I'm too late Laughing

I had a BB Curve for work and for texting , calls etc it was perfect , screen not very good size for internet and stuff and you can take pics but not the best quality , ok though . Had a BB9700 as well private and much better for pics but similar screen size makes it rubish for internet so guess it all depends what you really want it for
