My original phone I got at boxing day 2011. It was an IDEOS U8150, which has android 2.2 and I've found to be quite sluggish at times.

I'm looking for a newer phone either Android 3 or 4. Some form of multitouch, as it makes it easier to zoom in and out.

I have already looked at some phones and while I'm not to sure of what to look I've found 2 that should work alright for me.

The Alcatel OT-993 from 2Degrees back to school deal. The main problem with this phone is their is no scratch protection on the screen.

I also liked the look of the Sony Xperia Tipo Dual, as a dual sim handset it would be quite good to separate my personal from professional contacts. Though the cpu and memory were lower than the Alcatel so it might be sluggish.

I'ld like to hear other's opinion about these phones/any other phones.

I would prefer if the "Sixaxis Compatibility Checker" shows that, that controller would work. As I'll like to use a controller for some games.
