Smartphone advice, please
Netto have Acer E110 smart phones on offer at £99.99. Would anyone reccommend them? Or can you suggest an alternative ?
Thanks in advance
Jon

I personally wouldn't recommend. My brother had one and the software on it was extremely slow and the build quality wasn't particularly
good either. However, this is just my opinion and somebody else may know more

Never heard of the Acer, as an alternative I'd recommend the Orange San Fransisco, I had one for a few months, cracking phone..

Look at wickedgadget first before buying a supermarket phone. For not a lot more you could buy an apple

mmm for not a lot more, and half the functionality of an android phone 
ok, maybe not half the functionality, but i really do think android phones are better than iphones... they are practically the same right enough
you can only bluetoth from an iphone to another iphone. you can't fpor example bluetooth a phone from an iphone to say my HTC.
very very soon there will be more apps available on android, and more free ones too i understand.
apple want everything to be done through apple and only apple. thats not the same with android

I'd also second the Orange San francisco very easy to unlock and upgrade to non orange software
Great phone for the money, was cheapest in Argos £99 inc £10 orange credit

I've recently bought a Vodafone 845 for £70 on PAYG to check out smartphones at little cost. Very happy with it, does GPS and talks to the OBD2
scanner, jobs a goodun at the price, battery poor when you start using all the whistles and bells.
At £70 if it fell out of my pocket and broke I'd be upset. This would be different if I'd shelled out multiple hundreds on an iPhone or
similar HTC product.
