Best PAYG phone?

emilee

Hi there

I am looking to buy a new PAYG phone next week (Budget of £150), I've had a look around to see whats out there and at the moment I've whittled it down to these options;

HTC Desire C
Huawei Ascend W1
Nokia Lumia 520
Motorola Rzr i

I currently have a Huawei Ascend G300 which is great, but when I'm on the phone to people they can't hear me some of the time so its on its way out.
I mainly use the phone to call/text and occasional browsing but spend some time on Facebook and Twitter. Never used a Windows phone before so not sure on what they're like?

Any help would be much appreciated

Which network are you on? Or do you want it unlocked.

In that list the Motorola Razr I is the best by far.

Unlocked would be ideal, I'm currently using GiffGaff as I tend to make a lot of calls. Vodafone doesn't work in my area.

MOTOROLA RAZR I with better spec among those 4

The RAZR i has the highest spec of the phones you listed and if you can get one new for £150 that would be a great deal IMO.

I've used the Lumia 520 and would certainly recommend it. The WP8 interface is smooth and very easy to use.

To answer my own question as I hadn't realised the price had come down so far you can now get the RAZR i on PAYG from Three for £149.99 or from T-Mobile on ebay for £169.99 including £20 credit and a bluetooth speaker.

Yeah, thats what made me think possibly the Motorola was a better one as the price had dropped down quite a bit, though thought maybe there was a reason behind it.

Thank you everyone, hopefully 3 will still have the Motorola in stock next week.

I just took a look at the RAZR i in my local Three store this morning and it felt like the edge of the bezel was quite sharp down both sides which I didn't really like the feel of.

Could just be me being picky but try to see it for yourself before you buy.

I like the Razr specs, but the OS is no no for me.

Orrin you remind me of the original Razr phones lol where the keypad would rip out facial hairs, might have been good for ladies but thick course mens facial hair was painful!
