R.I.P my smartphone - need a replacement
Have an Orange San Francisco which was great for my needs. Used it mainly for surfing the net and playing the apps games. Never used it for making calls because kids have access to the phone and I don't want them subscribing to anything so it has a PAYG sim card.
The phone had water spilled onto it. It was working when I took the battery out. Left it to dry on the windowsill for a couple days. It would not switch on, instead there is a light flashing.
I am looking for a budget replacement. My budget is around £100. Have seen posts recommending Huawei G300. Should I go for that? Can't seem to find one in stock at a good price.
There was another phone which is one model up from San Francisco, I think it is on T mobile based on ZTE Blade 2. Any good?
Any other phone you can recommend?
Problem with my phone was it sometimes took ages to load a youtube clip.

Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems 
Well at least i learn something on the way

You could consider the T-mobile vivacity (= same model as the San Francisco 2). Currently £69 plus £10 topup less 10 cashback.

have you tried putting it in dried rice, even now can still be savedDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0

I'm a big Samsung fan. If you're looking for a reasonably priced Android phone, then have a look at the Samsung Galaxy Y.0

ETA: it may be a reasonably priced Samsung, but not a reasonably priced Android.0
