In what way?

I was thinking of going with the Ace but if this is better....

I'm not experienced enough to give a sensible answer - there are many others here who can do so - but I prefer the screen size of the G300, it has Gorilla glass (my other half's Galaxy Ace already has a small scratch on it), I love the little LED light flashing if I miss a call or text or reminder. My other half's Ace Plus has had problems connecting to wi-fi, although hopefully sorted out now. The G300 has just worked flawlessly and I am going to be brave and upgrade it to ICS very soon - next week hopefully (following Sillygoose's instructions). It just seems to do everything I want it to and with no complaints!

Screen size isn't everything, screen resolution is just as important (if not more so) and the G300 has a much better resolution than the Ace+. Things will look a lot sharper on the G300.

Precisely - it's a double whammy, bigger screen AND better resolution. And cheaper. No brainer.

Agreed! in Angry birds colour is vibrant and detailed for a good example

plus I am getting great battery life in typical use, call quality is great and the on-board memory is generous. I even like the default Huawei ringtone - nice and loud.

Total no brainer.

Does Skype work properly on it?

Thats probally the most important thing for me.

Sorry I have not tried it on G300 as it does NOT have a front camera so I use my tablet instead.

You can still get it for £70 via very.co.uk (and still avail via ISME i think) - 6% if you get cashback

I've kept my 1st post up to date with cheapest price details

I'd say the Vodafone £100 offer is good for those that say they want the phone (and I'm no Vodafone fan) - go into Vodafone shop, select phone, buy, walk out. A matter of minutes.

The link you mention requires a credit check, doesn't it? and their delivery is a little uncertain.

There's a 3.6% Quidco cashback for Vodafone instore purchases if you register a credit card with Quidco.

Thanks for this, SG! My son went for this today - lord only knows how many of these phones are in the family now but we call it the 'family phone' £72.95, the phone is already ready for dispatch/received at Shaw HUB and scheduled for delivery tomorrow, topcashback £6.99 already tracked, £17 Virgin SIM already here (1200 mins u/l texts truly u/l mobile web that can be tethered). Just a matter of getting it unlocked via ebay code and voila! Massive bargain all round.
