Need a new phone - recommendations?

Fionne

I currently have a Blackberry 9720 and am finally due an upgrade (Three). Looking for recommendations for a phone as it's so confusing trying to choose.

Aside from the obvious calls and texts I currently have just facebook and twitter and email on my phone. I'd also prefer a phone with a decent camera if possible.

I've asked friends for advice and the phones suggested have been:

HTC One
Samsung
Sony Xperia

I had been leaning towards the Sony because of the great battery life but then someone said because it's a Windows phone it doesn't function well with Apps, etc. The only Apps I'd have are Facebook and Twitter.

Another query - there's terrible phone reception where I live so I can't really access internet unless over wifi - will a 4G phone make this improve or will it still be bad?

I'm not a fan of touchscreens so would also prefer one that wasn't too fiddly (big clumsy fingers). Had a Samsung a few years back and the touchscreen packed in rendering the phone useless but hoping technology has improved since then.

It functions well with apps, it's just that you need apps for Windows phone.
Most of the popular apps are available for WP too.

I suggest you go to a phone shop and handle a few models and see which you think fits your hands.

The Xperia is not a Windows phone
