Darkman Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Any recommendations for a cheap but tasty Android smartphone? The only absolute is it has to be dual sim. I'll have a work provided sim, and I want my own sim also to access the internet etc. I've been spoilt by the ZTE Blade (Orange San Francisco). It's slow but excellent for the money. When it came out it's price was ground breaking. I'm guessing you can get more for your money now. So what is the equivalent out there now?* *but dual sim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also has a resistive screen which I much prefer to the usual capacitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPin Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Why not buy a chocolate flapjack, and pretend that is a phone! They are only about 80p, and when you have finished your conversation, you can eat it, and you will never receive "spam", about that "accident you never had"!

The Masked Tulip Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 That Nokia looks interesting - runs Android but with a Windows 8 phone style interface. Looking online there is info how you can root it and install a standard Android build. For just over a £100 I think I would choose that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
