Recommend me a phone please!

[moojie]

I am looking to upgrade my phone but am currently unable to pop to the shops to try them out as I usually would (39 weeks pregnant and a 2 yr old in tow is not a good combo!) so I need recommendations.

I have a HTC desire HD and have had HTC's the last few phones. I don't want an iPhone as I have an iPad and like the Android network for my phones.

I need something that takes good photos and video as this is pretty much all I take photos with. Size doesnt matter as such as its usually in my bag. I usually get one of the newest phones out but I really am quite out of the loop so unsure which one to get or if there is something worth waiting for coming out very soon.

Thanks.

I have been eyeing up the HTC One series, which is due out in the next week or two. The One X especially looks amazing (albeit possibly a little over the top - I'm still trying to convince myself that yes, I really do need a quad core phone).

I may wait a little longer and see what the Samsung Galaxy S3 brings - it's also due out soon although possibly not quite as soon as the One series because there's no date for it yet.

I'm by no means an industry expert but those two are the ones worth waiting for at the moment.

....'in my opinion', I meant to add to that.

If you can hang tight for a little while longer, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is due out soonish.

Samsung Note. 5.3inch screen. Its a bit of a beast so not the phone for someone who spends a lot of time making calls. Ideal for someone who carries their phone in a bag and wants to surf/email off a phone with a big screen phones.

If Big is Not Beautiful when it comes to phones then my sister just bought Sony Arc S from Phones 4 U for under £200 PAYG. That is about £100 to £150 cheaper than other places.

(there are loadsa new models coming over the next few months so the shops are heavily discounting certain models)
