Bag yourself a bargain this Black Friday

My favourite phone of all time was my Google Nexus 5. Loved everything about it, even if it didn't have the "world's best" features, everything just worked so well, and it felt great in the hand too.

The camera was good, and the screen was beautiful to look at.

I loved that phone!

My favourite phone of all time is the one I’m currently using, the Google Pixel 4a. It does everything all my previous phones have done but better and faster.

I love that it’s a smaller phone factor, I can’t hold it and use it with one hand with ease.

It’s fast and responsive, the camera is great as with most pixel phones. I can shoot the night sky and itll still look good.

It has a great battery life and of course, runs on the latest android.

A bargain too :)

Cheers.

My favourite  phone is S9plus technically, the best phone Samsung offers. It takes everything the Samsung Galaxy S9 delivers and then throws in some extra RAM and a 6.2-inch version of that drop-dead gorgeous Super AMOLED 18.5:9 display that continues to wow us. You need to be a screen-space aficionado or someone with big hands to fully justify its purchase, though.

REASONS TO BUY

• +

  Standout dual-lens camera system

• +

  Luxe 6.2-inch Super AMOLED display

• +

  Better-placed fingerprint sensor.......

It's super hard to choose the one that it's the best of all time. I really love my Pixel 6 that I purchased recently and I really loved my Pixel 3, 4 and 5 as well but none of them stuck in my memory as much as Sony Ericsson P1i . I bought it for Christmas of 2007 and spend used it until Christmas of 2009. I remember it so well because it was my last Christmas at home in Poland. After that I moved to Scotland with HTC Hero in my pocket. 

Sony Ericsson P1i stuck in my memory because it was ssssooo ahead of its time. It had Qwerty keyboard, built in stylus, touchscreen and was running on Symbian which allowed to me to install apps, get online and write documents right from my pocket. Battery wasn't great on it but it was easily replaceable so I always had spare battery on me. Can you guys imagine that processor used in this phone was made by Philips? Even more... It had built in VPN client, supported MS Office and you could check what song was playing on the radio with TrackID (equivalent of today's Shazam app).

 Just looking at that picture above, makes me feel so nostalgic and so excited that I got to use such a tremendous device for its time. It was the last device that I used and was fun. After that it was touch screen bricks with shrinking bezels all the way.

Lol my first ever phone was a Siemens orange it has no colour screen and weird little jingles when people called , iphone is a great upgrade since then , I love being able to capture moments with my family using the great quality camera 

For many years I was unable to find a phone to match the Nokia 2110i (from 1994, back when I was a young whippersnapper); it had new fangled SMS messaging, a list of missed calls and connected to my Psion organizer.

Fast-forward a little and I ran through a whole range of (original) Windows Mobile handsets, with my favourite being the HTC SPV M5000 - it felt fantastic in-hand, had an awesome touchscreen and sync’d beautifully with my PC; how could things get any better than this?

The Nokia N8, that was how - a *beautiful* metal body (the green and orange in particular were lovely to look at), and a camera that genuinely put out some decent results [I was also using a Nokia E7 at the time, the last of the Navigators, and with a slide-keyboard that was as smooth as you like].

My love affair with Nokia continued through the Windows Phone/Windows Mobile/Windows 10 era, where as a Nokia Ambassador I used practically every model, from the Lumia 800 right up to the 950XL; my favourite by a long way was the 1520 - a gorgeous screen, coupled with a thin, but sturdy body, fantastic camera and lightning-fast OS, this was in my opinion the last great Lumia - this remained my favourite phone of all time until…

...Android, you say? Well Windows Phone was dead, and Huawei were after people to promote their handsets, so I dipped my toe into the ecosystem with the P9, impressed with the mono camera element - I continued using a variety of Android units from Huawei, Honor, Google, Sony and Samsung before happening upon the Huawei Mate 20X 5G - a BEAST of a phone, with a massive screen, proper Google services, huge storage and a great camera. I actually 'downgraded’ from newer handsets back to the Mate 20X, such was my love for it (and distaste for the newer Huawei handsets using Appgallery), and only got rid of it a week or so ago when I took delivery of my shiny new Google Pixel 6 Pro - so far, so good; clean android, beautiful design, fantastic camera and no bloat. It is technically the bet of all, and I hope to keep it for a decent length of time, but I will always have a soft spot for the Mate 20X.

It has to be the iconic Nokia 3210.

It allowed you to manually 'compose' monotone ringtones and send them to another Nokia phone. It also had pre-loaded the infamous Snake game!

My favourite all time phone is my current one, Xperia Z5 Premium, although I will always have a soft spot for the Nokia 3310.

I’m not  particularly tech savvy and just want a good phone that can do a few things competently and is easy to navigate.  This is a good fit.

This was my 1st ever/still best phone to date. Loved that it was a colour screen, play games on it and make your own ring tones. Spent many hour sending files via infer red haha. Nokia 6600

Samsung Note 10

I love using the integrated pen to draw on my screen and also as a remote control to take my photo shots.

Daft or a taste of the future? The N-Gage was both. First mobile with seriously decent gaming and a cornish pasty design. Not greatly successful but to me a great phone...pity I lost it in mosh pit in The Isle of Wight festival!

My favourite mobile phone is the Motorola RAZR V3.

 

I always wanted one of them at the time ,Motorola and Nokia were the phones of the noughties

My  favourite phone of all time is a Sony 

Ericsson W580i. This is purely for sentimental reasons as it was instrumental in saving my husbands life. It was close to him when he started having a heart attack & he was able to phone for an ambulance straight away which arrived within 5 minutes. Pleased to say that 12 years on he's fit & well. We still have the phone which is in full working order & he keeps on his bedside cabinet, it's affectionately referred to as tali (his good luck talisman)
