    On the specs there it states 'Supports Adobe Flash'.
    Would this still be the case if taking the free upgrade to KitKat?
    I note it has a front cam so will it work OK on Skype / webcam sites?

    I had the samsung galaxy ace and it was rubbish. It's money down the drain.

    If the specs are anything to go by, the Kazam mobiles are going to be a horrible disappointment.

    Just get the Moto G. It's cracking good value and a good phone too.

    And what if you need something with an SD card slot?

    Nokia Lumia 520 is also worth a shout. Windows mobile is very good, very snappy, although the apps store is lacking a bit, that won't be a problem if he only wants to use facebook and email.

    You can pick the Lumia 520 up for around £65-£70 now. I have one and love it, but I too am not a huge heavy user of a phone.

    I've just bought a moto g and various upgrades have happened to it (not sure whether it's on KitKat or whatever :o ).

    I can't get Adobe Flash on it - was trying to do so today, and the website said it wasn't supported by my device. I also read somewhere (not sure whether it was a reliable source) that Flash for Android is no longer available.

    I thought that too Yorkie which was why I was surprised to read that (it's in this sublink shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-phone/motorola-moto-g-black-payg )

    What the phone will be used for is detailed in the OP and if I was a betting man I would have a few quid on the intended recipient not requiring an SD card. ;)
