Cheap mobile phones

[stevewool]

Any one has a cheap mobile, what did you pay for it and is it any good,
I am talking about not very well known names but with a large screen for me whos eyes are poor now, price is around £70, so any ideas

[grahamw48]

Have you thought about a secondhand one Steve ?

Just make sure it's an android one, cos my Windows phone is rubbish. :mad:

[stevewool]

we are hittng town tomorrow, changing banks, holiday shopping, dinner and looking at phones too, so there are some 2nd phone shops about,
I am not into all the latest phones i just want a larger screen so i shall look at those too

[grahamw48]

I wonder if they sell used ones on Amazon...with some sort of warranty ? :Erm:

People must be trading them in to their contract providers all the time.

I can't wait to offload this one in another nine months.

I bought an HTC One V off Amazon about 18 months ago brand new with 12 months warranty - I think it was about £180 a bit more than my budget but I had a load of "free" Amazon gift code money.

Anyway how about this one I'm no expert on phones, you're not a brand snob Steve it's Droid and Quad Core - £59.99 Virgin :-

Small on price but big on features, the ZTE Blade V packs an almighty punch. Take your pick from thousands of awesome apps, play games or upload selfies to Facebook in moments. And with expandable memory of up to 32GB, you’ve got plenty of room to store your precious music, photos and videos.

Quad-core processor – smoother user experience Android Jelly Bean 4.1 – access to thousands of apps Stylish brushed metal effect back – premium feel4" IPS screen with Corning® glass – crisper images 5MP camera and front facing camera – selfies made easy Large 1800mAh battery – talk, text and play for longer

Looks like my Nokia Lumia 610...except a LOT better....and a LOT cheaper, which I rent from Virgin. :doh

[Longweekend]

Have to agree, the Nokia Windows phones are pants...:NoNo:

[grahamw48]

They can't even use Skype ! :NoNo:

[Longweekend]

Only positive thing is they can open a spreadsheet and Word document...

[grahamw48]

Great. So can my (cheaper) Tablet..and it's got TWO cameras, AND Skype. :biggrin:

Well..according to this..http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/nokia-x-normandy-1219003 Nokia will be releasing a cheap Android phone. It's like a tweaked version of Android but will still look like a Windows phone.

I can't understand why they can't just release a full Android version of phones along with their Windows phones, like what HTC, LG & Samsung did. They can increase their market by doing that.

[grahamw48]

Yes, very strange, Rayna.

Samsung for me next time. :smile:

[Terpe]

......Samsung for me next time. :smile:

My wife chose the apple 5s gold for xmas handset price around £600 or £47 a month on a one year contract.

Got to love it though when I give her it she thought she had won the lottery...:laugher:

Just never know eh Mark :wink:

She gave me her old iPhone 4S and keeps looking at it.......I've told her I got used to it now and it fits my pockets nicely....That Samsungs just a bit big.

I'll not let it go so it looks like she's going the iPhone way .... again.
I have to put my foot down with a firm hand :biggrin:
