Haha to be honest I mainly use my mobile for playing games and Youtube. I have a Sony Z, atleast 4years old now, and not even on contract. As long as It works fast then Its good for me. I dont follow the crowds and upgrade a handset every year, although mine Is on It's last legs after 4years so I will also need an upgrade. It'll be Interesting to know what you end up going with as I'm also down for recommendations.
