Hi there

I was in my local Vodafone store a few days ago and had a play with the Prime 7 they had on display whilst I waited for one of the staff to be free, and I really liked it.  

Perhaps pop into your local Vodafone store and have a play with the various demo handsets they have as it is a great way to see which phone you like. Do remember that if you purchase the phone on PAYG, you will need to buy a £10 top up to.

Even if I'm on monthly contract,

Are you upgrading or purchasing the phone outright?

Another avenue is to also look at YouTube unboxings and real user reviews on YouTube.

But that is no substitute to actually handling the phone yourself.  I've seen many vidoes on handsets and loved them, gone out and picked up the a demo phone and though "it's horrible".  Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

Yes but it also helps to collate as much information as possible. Using the phone in a shop for a limited time and sometimes not able to use all the features fully can be an issue. 

Some of these YouTube reviews are from people who have been using the phone out in the wild for a period of time.

Thanks all, buying phone outright so I'll pop into toon and have butchers . cheers mark

If you're buying the phone outright, you will still need to purchase a £10 top up even if you've currently got a Vodafone contract.

Enjoy.

Would you update your thread with the outcome?
