hi,
I've kept a very basic nokia mobile on contract for many years - I've never been keen to learn how to use a new one & not really needed anything different (but getting on board with 'apps' would have been nice). Anyway the phone has finally konked out and I have to get a new one. Orange have offered me the following 2 phones for £20.50 p/m and I wondered which of the following to get (I want to stay at the budget end of the market, below £30 unless you think that's a really bad idea) any thoughts on these?
1) Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 (android gingerbread, whatever that means)
2) Nokia Lumia 800 (windows 7, whatever that means. I do have a windows 7 computer having changed from XP last month)
3) To say 'no' to these and ask for a different one that you recommend (but see below & note my budget which I think should stay in the sub £30 mark).
In recommending any phone please note that I'd not use a phone much like most of you might do.... I'm old before my years and don't like technology. l only use the mobile for calls and texts. I think I would use the phone to check my emails now and again but not much - I have full access to computers at work and at home so I'm ok. I wouldn't go on the net much on the phone and I've got wireless at home btw. I've heard about 'apps' so I'd like to get on board and use them. I don't download games, play games, movies etc.. which I doubt will change.
Been offered 400 free minutes (my average useage is 318 mins) for £20.50 p/m which looks like a good deal to me. But what do I know! I will ask them to bump it up to 500 and say they've got a deal but I have no idea what phone to ask for. Ease of use/simplicity is another major factor!
