Good value android phone max £200/$300

by CON659 Nov 10, 2014 11:08PM PST

Hi,

I need a phone that is very reliable for calls, texts, email. It should also be good for organizing/calander as I run my own business.

I would like one that is quick to load apps and has a wide range of apps.

I don't have to stick to the popular brands if you can recommend one that would be good value.

I want one that you can reliably use Facebook and the internet on. Can be either 3g or 4g.

I am currently still using the Iphone3gs and Facebook freezes every time I log on and it has a very narrow range of apps.

Maximum price; £200/$300

Sadly none.

Given how many times friends and I can't call or text I'd write that cellular is far from reliable. It's usable and works most of the time but reliable is not a word I'd use. This is not so much the phone at fault but the cellular networks and coverage.

For me I like the names. The google Nexus, iPhone and such.
