for 180€?

want to keep it under 200€

don’t want an iphone.

want something that will take half decent photos, lets me check emails/map etc and has GPS.

also, how much is 500mb of surf time? how much surfing is that in a value that i can understand?

Check out the different phones at the price on GSMarena.com
The galaxy range of phones is excellent. You may even get an S2 at that price.

This isn’t bad

Have you tried 2nd hand? CEX are good for phones. 1 year warranty too.

that’s already with 47% off….

I’ve got one. Its got a great screen but small, so txting and emails are pretty slow. Its pretty close to the smallest smart phone you can buy though so its always going to be a compromise.

The Ray looks good but the single core processor will struggle with ICS. My note did and that was dual core 🙁

what is ICS?

all i “know” is that it should have at least Android 2.3

the Ray seems to get pretty good reviews from GSM, Techradar etc…

don’t want it on contract.

ICS is Ice Cream Sandwich. The most up to date Android version. Mum has the Ray and she likes it. Mrs Has the Xperia S and hates it. I like my Samsungs though. The OS is tweaked and not a huge amount different from iOS which is designed to be very simple to use.

are you just typing random letters in order to confuse me?

what is OS & iOS?

Lol
Os = Operating system
iOS = Jesus phone I mean iPhone operating system.

I have the Xperia ray, it’s ace.

Loads of game for my lad.

Free sat nav for me
Endmondo for me.
