Hi,
Samsung Phones are very good, but more to the point, I would never sign up for a contract as everytime I have checked out the costs, it has always been cheaper to buy the phone and then purchase a SIM, that way you are not tied into a contract and if the service dosen't suit your needs you can just change to another mobile company.
Make sure you buy a SIM less phone or and Unlocked phone of your choice, also if you are going for one of the range of smart phones like the Galaxy S, S11, S111, Note etc, e.g. the top range, then make sure you get an internet/data allowance, as some of them can be a bugger to turn off some of the app's and if you haven't got a data allowance you can find you are spending money when you don't need to.
One SIM you may want to look at is GiffGaff there monthly deal is very hard to beat, Here
The updates for the Android operating system are a combined effort:-
Firstly by the Android system manufacturers (Google)
Then by the mobile phone makers like Samsung, HTC, etc.
based upon the model e.g. Galaxy Ace, S, S11, S3 Nexus, Note etc.
Then by the mobile operating company e.g. Virgin, 3 , Vodafone etc.
As each of them have an interest and may need to tweek the New Release of the Operating System to suit there particular phone or mobile signal,
So to know whether the phone model you want to purchase will have the latest Android system you really need to do a bit of Googleing and speak to your chosen mobile operating company, contract of PAYG.
What you can be sure of just like Microsoft change the Windows Operating system, Android will continue to do the same, so no matter what system you get there will be a new one coming out shortly and not to far down the road your chosen phone won't get it, not that that will matter much as I have used most of the updates and from my prospective I really haven't noticed much difference
Hope that helps.

I cant afford to buy a sim free phone so to get the latest phone it needs to be a contract. Ive got a giffgaff sim and the bundles are excellent value, but to get the sim to work in my iphone 4 is nightmare, in fact, ive given up and stuck it into my wifes old nokia e5. Virgins contract deals are brilliant value. A samsung s2 on the premier bundle gets you 2500 mins, unlimited text and unlimited data, plus free virgin to virgin (mobile or landline) and free insurance if you have tv/phone off them. Sales rep is trying to save me money by offering me a lower spec phone, but when youve had an Iphone, you want similar spec, so I think Ile order off a different rep.
