Yep. I'm getting the Samsung Galaxy S3 on Thursday 21st June (next week).

£41 - 24 month contract includes:
2000 Minutes
Unlimited Texts
2GB Internet including Tethering and FREE Wifi Connectivity to BT OpenZone hotspots.

Can anyone give me some advice on android as I've always been an Apple Customer but I want to make the change to Android Ice Cream Sandwich. I know this phone is already one of the best smart phones to date with its quadcore processor but I want to know what I am capable of doing with android and whethere there is a Jailbreaking option for the android?

The S3 is indeed a good phone. But I bought myself a HTC one X because I didn't like the design of the s3, but well... If you like it, take it for sure.

And you can't jailbreak android, but you could root it. So you grant root access to your phone etc.
I'm new myself to android though.

You could also install a custom ROM on your phone, to make it even go faster if you install a light ROM.

Anyway, if you like it. Buy it

I've just got a Blackberry, I'm so mainstream Tounge.

The contract deal you have there seems pretty good to be honest, considering you have 2000 minutes and a 24 month deal.

They will also probably let you upgrade if you like at one point.

I dont like the HTC One X. I just dont like HTC's to be honest and I dont like the design, where as I like the pebble effect on the S3, also includes better features imo.

The S3 is going to be an Early Upgrade with orange. Im upgrading from a Blackberry
