Upgrade to andoid/iphone??
I'm considering buying a new mobile handset for PAYG since my current phone the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic wont take 99% of apps that could be useful. I'm not looking to buy the latest all bells & whistles iphone type thing just need something that will take apps can be used as GPS for the car and phone/texts with Bluetooth & camera.
What would folk recommend as a sensible buy?

Would not buying an earlier iphone/Android be a cheaper option since to be honest all I use the phone for is phone/text occasional GPS and camera so wouldnt use half the functions.0

That's cheap. Cost a LOT more to unlock my wife's phone.
I presume they use a standard sim like the Nokia 5800 so just slide it in?
Also I presume even though its unlocked it will have some TESCO network stuff stuck on the phone I cant remove?0 -
Don't think it does.0
