    Anybody used the Motorola Razr i? It looks to be a really good phone on spec but I have had motorola years ago and not been impressed. What are the like now? It seems to get decent reviews.

    Also, I just use the internet on my phone for browsing this site, BBC etc and downloading the odd app, so will 500MB a month be sufficient?

    Any help appreciated.

    2ghz of processor power over the Intel dual core. Ice Cream Sandwich. HD video capture. Pretty impressive I thought at £16.66 a month for 100mins, unlimited texts and 500MB of data, free phone. What do you reckon?

    It's perfectly fine for mid-range. Lots of people don't need all singing and dancing, so if price is right, spot on. Obvious choice for high-end Android are HTC One & GS3. If you have an iPad or a Mac, iPhone is the only way to go.
