Hello,

After trawling the forums for info I have decided that as a light user I should go for Giffgaff £5/mnth sim plus a smart phone (my own xmas present to me!) :D.

I did want an iphone :cool: (was thinking of O2 or T mobiles ~15 quid deals) but maybe I should just buy secondhand????

Anyway, what do smart phone experts recon is a good deal for less than 150 quid?
2nd hand 3GS or something like HTC/Samsung :o ???? THANKS!

    best smartphone under £150?
    Best SmartPhone under £200?
    Both are not up-to-date though.
    2nd hand 3GS or something like HTC/Samsun
    Iphone 3gs or Android?

    I agree with saintjammyswine, got my samsung galaxy apollo and I love it. A bit slow sometimes but samsung have released the 2.2 update via KIES software and is much better now as I can store most apps to SD card saving operating space.
