Keep the iphone.

The one x is maahoosive & too big for a phone & the zoom probably isn't that good... he says being a bit of a snob about motorola...

You'd be an absolute idiot to do that kind of swap.

A not especially good Android handset and an obsolete Android tablet? They're having a laugh.

How is the One X "not especially good"?

Best thing would be to go and play with both, see if they appeal.

This +1

Check how much the 2 items you are being offered go for on eBay, then notice the iPhone it worth a lot more. Just don't.

Ip5s going for £300 the xoom tablet voted 5 stars in most tests and dubbed the ipad 3 killer and its running latest os, one x is voted better than the 4s power wise and useability, one x £200-240 on tbay and the xoom tab is 190-250 depending on cond, iv looked avidly into this and my ip5 is just terrible tbh, also the ip5s is out at xmas

Why?
also the ip5s is out at xmas

You know this to be a fact? Actually, it's a given that there will be an upgrade/new phone [i]this year[/i], but it could be June, or September/October. Nobody knows for certain, not even you!

Well the 5s i going to be the iPhone for the masses, (apparently) cheep and cheerful, then the 6 will be released along with the iPad mini 2 and the new new iPad (again).

As for my 5 its the 3rd one I've had, and i still cant connect to any wifi at all, ive even spoke to a wifi engineer who works installing and trouble shooting wifi systems, and he also has the same issue. drops calls and decides on its own whenever to take me back to the home screen and close apps/ whatever i was doing, just lost all faith in apple since i got my ip5 i had a one x previous and loved it, faster bigger screen and better call quality but it got stolen,

It's your choice what device you use, but given that you want to change it, why would you do a swap that, on your own figures, you'll be about £80 down on? Why not sell the ip5s, buy whatever, and keep the £80?
