Samsung Ace, or other phone.

L.S.D.

I see the Samsung Galaxy ace can be bought at phones 4u for £99-00 if you have an existing Vodafone card?
Is there a better phone going up to £150-00 max?

Cheap samsungs have poor screens.

The Sony Xperia Mini is the one I'd go for personally although the Ace does a decent job. The Xperia Mini has a faster processor, more ram, a higher resolution screen and more internal memory.

99 bucks for an ace is a good deal though :-)

What about the Nokia Lumia 710. Carphone warehouse £129-00. I played with both the Ace & the 710 & the 710 was superb. I know it has the lesser Microsoft operating system but it was very nice to use. No tether though.

I wouldnt buy a Xperia mini nor the Windows phone.

Stick with Android.
The ACE is not bad at all
For £130 you can get a ZTE Skate unlocked from Amazon. Its a very good phone, has a great screen if you like bigger mobiles
I dont think you would be disapointed with the ACE or the SKATE

Robm612 has just posted this cashback deal for the Samsung Galaxy Ace at Buymobilephones:

And they give £30.30 on Topcashback.

I wish my contract was ready for renewal.

I can highly recommend the San Francisco II if you're going to stick with android (which I'd also highly recommend)

Thanks all. I got the Nokia Lumia 710 'unlocked' for £130-00 & I am very happy with it.
