What kind of phone do you get for 150 used.
One that the hardware perfectly fits my needs.
Browsing some web pages can be a tiny bit sluggish sometimes, but if I'm doing anything serious I will use the computer anyway.
For what I use the phone for, which is, playing music, watching video, instant messaging, reading, light browsing and Lemmy I couldn't ask for more.
I also don't care about the camera, if I want to take photos I will use my DSLR.
The only single problem I have with my phone is the software which is non-free and loaded with spyware. Not the hardware.
