Ok, folks – here are the criteria, what do you recommend (personal experience preferred):
– up to £100ish Sim-free
– a smaller and/or lower-res screen, and a slower CPU are both Good Things, because I have a Nexus 7 for doing fancy stuff and the phone mostly just needs to handle being a phone and a hotspot, so the less it bothers the battery the better
– a camera that puts out usable results (ie worth printing at 6″ or so)
– half decent build quality (including decent glass)
Pretty much anything else isn’t massively important. Bonus marks for a hardware camera button or vanilla Android, though.
Candidates look like the Desire C, Wildfire S, Xperia Mini, Xperia Tipo…?
