I know this has been asked before, but time passes and phones move on, so any recomendations for a good phone
must have
torch - not just screen backlight
make phone calls
have nice sreen

[Damit]

I know my iPhone does the above but haven't looked in detail at other phones so nfi

[Dex]

galaxy S2.

It is the phone of a professional.
Not as random or as clumsy as a nokia,
but an elegant phone, from a more civilized maker.

[MrMagic]

iPhone 4

[Carples]

Not the 4s and does the Galaxy have a torch

[BoHiCa]

I went with HTC desire....

3 stage torch / light

Decent camera to take shots of those circuit boards in hard to reach places

And makes phone calls

Runs Android so I can make my own ringtones

[Alucard]

a 4s does the job for me
never really like the iphones till my last nokia gave me the shits

You can get an app for the torch carples.

I also have a desire, as did my dad.
However, he changed to a S2 because the desire has very limited onboard memory, and it fills up real quick, as most apps dont install to the SD card.

You can root the phone, forcing all apps to install to SD, but some corporate applications do not allow installation on phones with root access.

Dad works for Rio Tinto, and in order to have work emails sent to his phone, it has to have a special app, which as I said, doesnt allow for installation on a phone with root access. When reverting to factory default, and installing this app, it filled the phone memory up and the phone was beyond sluggish.

The galaxy S2 has something like 16 or 32 gb of onboard memory along with SD card expansion.

The phone is also incredibly light, and is good for people with fat fingers, as the screen is HUGE!

Just get an iPhone, everyone except the nerds want iPhones and what's the point of trying to impress the nerds, they'll just want to talk about starwars with you.

What part of Rio Tinto?

Don't get a smart phone, get one with buttons. The smart phone screen needs to be clean as do your fingers to work, and they don't like being dropped. Considering your workplace and your general level of personal hygenie, you'll never get teh damn thing to work right. My fucking thing, I use it on a hot day, and I have to wipe my sweat and face grease off the screen or next phone call I won't be able to answer it. I now have a little cloth and spray at my desk to keep the thing functional.
Unless you are sending emails, don't punish yourself, get something you can bounce off walls and use with greasy hands. All these other geeks work in air conditioned cube farms and have soft lady hands. If you are sending emails, I'd suggest a blackberry, primarily on account of the buttons instead of touch screens.

Put it this way.

Broken LCD: $100-$250
Warranty: 2-3 weeks need to send it off to service centre.

Iphone;
Liquid Damage: $179.00 apple replace it with a new/refurbished phone.
Broken LCD:$99-$179.00 apple fix or replace it with a new/refurbished phone. Depending on Damage.
Warranty: Book genius appointment go to apple store get it replaced 1-5 days.
Pay apple $39.00 they will send you out a replacement iphone, you send them the old broken one.(Apple advanced replacment - this fee is covered if you have apple care)
Send apple your iphone, they send you a replacement 1.5 weeks.

Was an easy choice for me, i cant live with out my smart phone.

[DonutKing]

the old man's a diesel mechanic and just sticks with a nokia dumbphone with a clear plastic case over the buttons and screen.

not worth getting anything fancier because it will just go to shit and fall apart really quickly.

bageled was right




if you were a desk jockey then there has only ever been one answer to this question since Steven Jobs invented the iPhone. android is pretty lol. I support both at work and believe it or not the iphone is generally a lot easier to work with (although if the most complex thing you ever do is make phone calls then both are pretty capable)
