Market Leader Smartphone

IamtheWalrus

Hi all,

I want to buy a new mobile. I have about €200-250 to spend.

Can anyone tell me what the market leader in mobiles is, the best value for my budget? I do not want to get an iPhone because I cant afford a bill. I want to go PAYG.

Any suggests welcome.

Thanks,
Walrus

Market leader?

As in which sells the most, which is the best phone you can buy, or the best phone for under €250?

Samsung Galaxy S2 is the answer really. A friend bought an an immaculate second-hand unlocked one today for about €300, which was a brilliant deal I think.

I'd have a look on Advert.ie for high-end phones which people got as a bill pay upgrade, but decided to keep theer current phone.

Click on "8 neu ab EUR 189,90" and then select price-guard. Shipping to Ireland is about €20-30.
Engadget gave it a good review:

Is it possible to buy a second hand iPhone and put a regular SIM into it and use it as PAYG?

Has anyone tried this?
