Recommend me a Smart Phone

I'd suggest never get an iphone or any apple products while at it...
They cost a considerable amount more just for being a famous "brand".

Try getting one that says smartphone ;)

Android all the way

I recently got Sony Xperia U, it was around £120 and in my opinion is the best in its price category. Although it does not have a removable SD card, the memory is 2x4gb of which you can use around 4gb + 2gb. It is also supposed to get Android ICS upgrade soon.

iphone

HTC one X, Nokia lumia series, samsung galaxy s3, HTC Amaze, huawei ascend p1, samsung note

I sincerely suggest you an iPhone 4. Its price is now absolutely decent, its hardware still works very sleek and fast with iOS and you have lots of applications in the store, a big part of them free. Also, jailbreaking it there are some really cool tweaks...And it's easy!

Check out the HTC One X. I am using that right now and has been my favourite phone since. I love it, it pretty much has and does everything u need it to do, user friendly, great quick access tools and what not

Not the iPhone. They're far too overhyped, not as many good free apps, and customization isn't as good with it.

I still would get an iPhone. Probably no iPhone 5, but 4 or 4S because they will be cheap and the accessories will be CHEAP. You can also do anything your iPod can do, plus what a phone can do. Then you can just sell your iPod. Now, instead of carrying an iPod and a phone, you have an iPhone. But it or not, Does not affect me.

Since you ruled out all versions of the iPhone, there is nothing good to choose from. Android is a fine OS, but the phones are terrible.

Samsung Galaxy S III is great

Samsung Galaxy S3 or Razr Max.

id rather buy a Stupid Phone

Samsung Galaxy S III

I dont know the prices in £ but, i have a Samsung Galaxy SII and i recommend it over every mobile phone (i havent tried the Galaxy SIII yet, but it has tons of useless things that you will never use).

Check out the daily deals on Newegg, they frequently include unlocked phones at reasonable prices.

galaxy nexus or new nexus- galaxy sgs2-sg3 or an iphone also htc devices with tegra3 awesome with gaming

Go to a store and try some out. Besides the ones mentioned already, Huawei branded smart phones are a great value for money too. I'm not too keen on the sony experia though.

I currently own, and have been in possession of since July 2011, a Samsung Galaxy S 2 aka the I9100. It's running CM10 alongside Dorimanx's custom Kernel; Siyah-based. That, combined with a dpi of 175 and Google's brilliant APIs and overall BI and AOSP design delivers a superior experience in every way compared to any other available (or otherwise) alternative.

At the time I bought the I9100 it was the best phone on the market. Currently it's the I9300, followed by a few good competitors, mostly from LG.

OS-wise:
Android?
Rim?
iOS?
Android. Why? The most important reason would be because it's open source (albeit rated lower relative to other projects, like Eclipse). It's the open source part of it that allows developers to reach higher achievements with their foregoing maintenance and development of what the manufacturers never deliver - ongoing sw support for purchased devices' predecessors.
Android has drastically better customization abilities. Although in terms of stability it does have some issues. But they're hard at work fixing that. So I'm not concerned.
Also, a lot of high-end Android device is superior h/w wise to the Iphone.
So if you want to know which manufacturer to choose, go with either Samsung, LG, or Sony Ericsson. They all support open source and help developers with a lot of the stuff they need help with (although unfortunately, not everything. But better than dealing with Apple's 'nothing').
Also note that most if not all Android devices use standards. Like the micro-USB. Standards are good and important to follow. Everything Apple is everything proprietary. When you close yourself off from others you slow down progress. Think long-term.
Also a lot of Android devices have an expansion slot for a MicroSD card, whereas the iPhone lacks one.

S/W wise: Google Play, iTunes? Note that applications written for Android are pleasant to handle. Largely written with Java, a beautiful language with some stability issues. Easy to develop with it. Don't know Objective-C (never tried it), so not sure as to how easy it is to develop for iOS. Considering my dislike of Apple for its primitive products and zombie-like view of their prey, I'd say I'm biased. But not because I have a person issue with Apple, but because empirically speaking, it's the unwise choice when it comes to purchasing a smartphone (not necessarily other products - e.g. Mac, can't say the same for their prices).

Basically my I9100 is like my PC alternative. Pretty much anything I want to do on my PC I can do on my I9100 (common sense applied - please?). The Iphone? Feels like a primitive stick of brick compared to Android. Some, or perhaps even most of the things you can do on Android you could probably find a way to do on the Iphone. But it's such a pain in the ass to accomplish because Apple doesn't want you to mess around inside its little toys.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. I'll gladly help. And I certainly won't ridicule you if you end up buying an Iphone. I just state the facts I know and how I feel as a result of what I know. It's up to you to conclude what the end goal meets in terms of your needs.

Edit: I should also note that my I9100 features a SAMOLED+ screen. Best. Screen. Tech. Ever. Every time I turn the screen on I can't help but adore the beauty before me.

Wait for the new Nexus! It should be out by the end of next month, I think.

Keep away from Sony Xperia, my experience with the x2 and play was just urk. Lg is pretty good and budget, the one I used was Optimus 2x. Samsung is fairly decent too. I am using the s2 and it's been great thus far. I did hear good things about HTC thou, that's was my 2nd choice.
E: I know how you feel, I got an ipod too so there's aint much point on me getting an iphone. Personally, I am looking at the note 2 for my next phone.

iPhone 6. Its so tall you can't even bend your legs when its in your pocket.

Also, avoid HTC; like Apple they don't like "sharing." Their devices are steel, but isn't sharing what this whole community is about?
