If you want a cheap one, why have you imposed a minimum?
You're likely to be bombarded by people recommending the Moto G, none of whom will mention the irreplacability (is that a word?) of its battery

BTW you can change the title by going advanced on the edit facility.

Does it definitely have to be a Micro SIM? You can get adaptors for less than £1 that will turn it into a Mini SIM

I'm intrigued as I was just about to order a Moto G from the O2 shop. My HTC Desire C has died on me... it seems like it's a common fault. I've bought a new battery but it still won't charge/start up. :mad:

Can you (or anyone) suggest another phone around the £100 mark with good reviews? Otherwise I might just risk the Moto G.

Rusty!

It's replaceable, it's just not a quick job. Just like many other phones these days.

Well worth getting it, unbeatable value.

replaceable batteries just aren't an issue for me these days, last replacement battery I bought was for a Nokia 6110

Why is replaceable batteries such an issue for some people??

Cause they only last about a year with heavy use, then they hardly hold a charge.

I must be getting lucky with my batteries lasting over 3 years then. The only people I know who needed batteries recently are s3 users.

t begs the question are the batteries installed in devices where they can be replaced a lower quality.

Using the definition


SIM = Size of a credit card
Mini SIM = the largest common SIM at the moment
Micro SIM = the common smaller SIM
Nano SIM = used in iPhone 5 etc.


then I believe all the current Nokia Lumias take micro SIMs and would be a highly usable PAYG phone running Windows Phone 8 within your price range.


Cheap Android devices often tend to be a bit laggy (the Moto G is an exception to this).
