    Samsung Galaxy Nexus according to the Gadget Show.

    I'm sure I heard recently the Samsung Galaxy S III is due out in February.

    Got a Blackberry Torch 9800. Not had any problems with it and been using it since Summer. On my second handset though as I lost my first one when smashed in Macmerry. Wish i'd got an iPhone though.

    Beautiful design. Takes great photos. Perfection. Unless you want to make a phone call - in which case you have to lean out of a window and hold it with your fingertips to avoid masking the built-in aerial.

    I got a Blackberry Curve a couple of months ago which is a really good phone, very slim design and I've had no problems with it at all.

    The one thing I don't like, which I think is a feature across all Blackberrys, is the fact that if you receive a text when your phone is off, you have no way of knowing when that text was sent. It only displays when your phone has received the text.

    If your phone is on all the time then it's not a problem because you'll receive it almost as soon as it's been sent but I really don't like that feature.

    It's a fairly minor thing though.

    Lots of free apps on it that are pretty good as well.

    You won't go far wrong with any of the higher end.models from either HTC, Apple or Samsung.

    Would agree with a previous poster about iPhones having signal issues though.

    Jailbroken Iphone

    It has the beauty of the iphone design, adding anythin an android phone has to offer.

    Also, I believe the A5 jailbreak (4GS and IPAD2) will be available in the next few weeks

    iPhone 4. Bloody awful, thank goodness I've got an upgrade soon. (I've also got an ancient LG which gets signals all over the house while the iPhone remains oblivious.)

    Get one of these slip-in wallets with the magnetic strip. It puts the phone in power saving mode and vibrate when placed inside so you can leave your phone on all the time and it will last for days.

    Love my curve...apart from the crap internet speed.

    Great phone - love it.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    Nah, the iPhone OS is far better, it's the restrictions on other thing that apple do that make it worth jailbreaking

    Anyone who has gone from an iPhone to an android or VIce versa will tell you which they prefered

    I've gone from 1st Gen iPhone to a Blackberry Torch. The Torch is OK, but I'd go back to iPhone in an instant.
