LG Renoir (Better than Apple I phone?) 2450 minutes for £42pm @ Three

To those like me who took advantage of the 18mth contract 1100 mix & match for £21 per month in March last year three mobile will allow you to upgrade 3 months in advance, my upgrade is due early June. I took two contracts out, one for me one for the mrs both under our seperate names at the time and three have said if I upgrade both contracts again at the same time then I will receive 2000 free minutes or texts plus 300 3 to 3 minutes plus 150 video call minutes. Thats 2450 minutes for a total cost of £21 if I upgrade to a smililar phone, however If on one of the contracts i go for the LG Renoir which is the Apple I Phones competitor and many many reviews I have read say this phone is so much better in terms of what it can do and its functionality although some will argue that the apple is better. The cost of upgrading to this phone is £42 per month which is far more value for money in terms of what the I phone would offer in terms of minutes and functionality.

Anyway the verdict is open to you guys, I know its not available to everyone but to those who it is its a cracking deal. Especially if it can be done online and poss quidco
