Hey I was thinking of getting a new phone. I need one that can connect to the internet anywhere no matter what. Anyone have any advice for that? Input would be much appreciated thanks

iPhone is perfect for that

you can always get an older model and pay significantly less

Risking the fact that this might just sound like an echo of another's opinion... Get an iPhone.

I've never been happier with a phone than my iPhone.

apart from the battery life, my iphone 4S is good. (6th iphone post in a row

).
if you want a cheaper phone try an HTC or something running on Android and make sure to get a data plan.

Frankly, I wouldn't recommend Android based on my experiences with it.

While I hate Apple computers (and their huge Apple tax) the Apple mobile devices (iPhone/iPad/iPod) really are ahead of the rest due to iOS. I prefer my 'old' iPod touch and the way it works over my relatively new Phone with Android 2.2, it just feels crap in comparison.

I most likely will go for WP7.5 for my next phone anyway as I'm currently doing some development for it and I've really been impressed with it so far..... I really want to avoid having to use shit like itunes to get the most out of a phone.

I would go with an Iphone personally but if thats not within your budget i suggest a blackberry or something around that area!

I have a shitty t mobile phone cuz data plans are far too expensive when I have to pay for college at the same time, 50$ a month for unlimited everything but the phone is like a fake blackberry and service for tmobile is bad..but I'd personally recommend a droid if you want quality just because i already have an ipod touch to do everything the iphone does so it'd be pointless to get the same thing twice - before the phone I have now i had a droid 2 and it was awesome

to be honest most modern smart phone if you dont want to spend £500 on iphone i got a windows phone which i am happy about for £250, had that for a year now, but android phones are good, i like HTC's on android

Get a Motorola Razr

Well then, iPhone suggestions were very popular on this topic.

My first phone ever was a Motorola SLVR and I absolutely adorned it. I highly doubt that they still make them because I had it in like 2007-2008. About eight months ago I bought a Samsung t401G it was the best phone I've ever had. It took me while to get used to the buttons but I quickly got the hang of it. It was pretty decent for browsing the web as well but I mistakenly dropped it in water. Anyhow I currently have an LG 900G Blackberry and it's not to bad either. The buttons are smaller than that of my Samsung but hey, I only payed like $29.99 for my phone and my plan only costs me $25.00/month.

That's not a Blackberry, it's a cheap imitation of one..... If it was a Blackberry it'd be made by RIM (and it would have a whole lot of features that make them appeal to business and government customers).

There's nothing in the consumer market that can compete at the same level as iOS devices.

Androids currently hold the majority of the international market merely because of how cost efficient, the OS is loved by developers, and how many Android models are available is ridiculously high.

With that said, if you are worried about prices; grab an Android. If you want a phone you will not have too many problems with; grab an iPhone.

Vephy has had 2 months to make his mind up. I hope you have come to a conclusion mate. There's a lot of advice here (from November to the present), so I am locking it.
