Samsung without a doubt BUT if battery life is a priority you might want to look at Motorola.

I went for a Samsung Galaxy Y Duos, but I was specifically looking for a dual SIM phone.
I liked the look of the Sony Xperia but had not enough info on how they performed.

I have an iPhone5, i use it just for calls, messages, internet, google maps, camera and very occasionally one or two downloaded songs.

I have had mine since September and havent had a single problem with it yet and it is very easy to use.

yep it's quick does everything it's intended to do. you can add single songs without adding a entire album, you can easily delete songs you don't want. easy to make play list. biggest music store in the world. what's not to love about itunes.

How about how restrictive it is?

Any purchase you make can only be played on Iphone, ipod or pc.

Most expensive online music purchase service by far.

Can't burn onto cd or dvd.

Resource hog with constant updates.

Hard to navigate and not intuitive.

Purchased music non transferable to another pc.

I had to use itunes when I had an Iphone, and lost everything through an ios update. Emailed apple support as I had some apps that had cost above average dollars, but they said there was nothing they could do.

It's restrictive because its tight security.

I have played music from iTunes on other devices then apple products or pc. Learn how to use it before you make a comment that false.

Might be expensive for you but might not be for everyone else. You don't become the biggest music store if there another that is better and cheaper.

Can easily burn to cd once again learn how to use the program.

There's not that many updates and usually there security ones which are there to protect you. You also have a choice whether to update or not. I'm guessing you hate windows as well, have had way more updates when I was using windows then I've ever had on apple.

Hard to navigate? Seriously you just making this up. If not I suggest you go to spec savers iTunes couldn't be easier to navigate.

You can transfer music from one computer to another.

If you had lost apps when updating through iTunes then you go and download them again. The info is stored on your account that you have purchased it so you don't have to pay for it again
