GPS is buggered, havent had a halfway decent point and shoot compact camera in a long time (well, ever, always had something bigger/better), and my phone’s died.
So given that the combined cost of all three would be in the region of £600 (£330 edge 800, £200 camera, cheep phone), it seems reasnoble to buy something for a fraction of that.
Must be a PAYG phone as I can’t get an upgrade and still have 12 months of a contract left, and I won’t get a better contract elswhere, it’s currently £2.50 a month for 600 minutes and 600 texts, and would be £5/month to add unlimited interntet to that, but if I cancel it I have to buy out of it at £25/month!).
What’s worth looking at for £200, I considdered an Xperia active as it’s got built in ANT+ but developers seem to have ignored it so it’s largely redundant appart from the waterproofness.
Thing’s I’d need it to do day-to-day:
Strava/endomondo logging, CBA with uploading after a ride so I’d probbaly get more out of them if it was uploading in real time. Not that fussed about it being on the bars though.
taking an acceptable photo
phone/texts
e-mail
internet faffing
So what’s like an iPhone, but half the price?
