We will be in touch
Contemplating taking the leap to the Modern World and buying a budget payg smartphone - probably Android flavoured. My query is What is more real-world use for web-browsing, a dual-core processor or Jelly Bean... can't seem to have both at my projected pricepoint (£100-130). Ta
I'd try android and iphone if you are new to the world of smartphones before you buy.
Which iPhone is under £130? I'd say go for the better specced phone rather than the latest os as you can heavily tweak the interface and you might be able to update later.

Wouldn't worry too much about Jelly Bean though to be honest. Every iteration has got a bit slicker, but Gingerbread/ICS wasn't bad.
I'd really like the Ace 2 but just how straightforward the upgrade to Jellybean is i can only imagine. Dont need a big screen as i really want a phone i can easily pocket in my bike jacket. Cheers folks.
Just been offered a free Galaxy s3 mini on t-mobile contract for £15.50/month with 750mb, seems a good deal...
Jelly bean is a pretty big improvement in integration IMO. It's much better than gingerbread on my old defy.
My wife has a San Diego. It's really impressive for the money. But it's doesn't have the power for media performance.
Just get an I phone 3GS you will find one for that money easy, it will be better than a new cheap smartphone for sure.
If you struggle to find one let me know I have one I will sell if you want, or I will just keep it as a spare otherwise.
What about the Huawei Ascend Y300? Dual Core and Android 4.0.4
