Not bad for £30 and will take any providers sim, in fact it can handle 2 sim's at the same time!

Isn't it interesting that whenever someone posts about a smartphone, everybody comes on talk about the battery life of an older type of phone. Of course the battery doesn't last as long, it's doing much more!

If, for you, a phone is for phoning people and nothing else then there are plenty of those on the market and they're not very expensive. If, like me, your phone is very much more, it is not really much hassle to charge it every night.

3g is quite good ... better than 2g but not as good as 4g! What's not so good is the coverage problems that every network has in some areas. But at least they advertise their coverage black spots so that everyone can make a reasonably informed choice. Exeter is not very good on my network, but as my broadband supplier gives free access to wifi hotspots, and most shopping centres, shops, pubs, cafes, etc supply free wifi then I'm never more than a few metres from a connection if I want it.

My car is very much 'from another era', but I don't decry the 'gimmicks to make money' that most modern cars have. If, as I suspect, the OP has made the adjustment to power steering in the car, a phone touch screen is a similar leap!

I really don't get it with smart phones, the screen is so tiny, what is the point, the one's with larger screens are to big to fit in your pocket.

If I need computer type facilities, I simply use the iPad or Acer Tablet, that my firm nicely gave me.

Thankfully I have never had to buy a smartphone, Tablet or Laptop, as the firms I have worked for hand them out like confetti.
