    My Samsung Wave seems to be dying, the battery is going from 50% to 0% then back up to 30%. have changed the battery and is doing the same thing. The erratic switching off is driving me crazy.

    I would love to replace it with something similar if possible but don't know if i can do it for the money i have at the moment which is about 100 euro.

    I am not a heavy phone user, main things i want :-

    OK camera
    Android would be nice
    GPS would be nice, but not as important as the top two.
    Anything else isn't so important.

    Any recommendations to look for old or new that fits the price range?

    Plenty of the 2nd hand shops in dublin city centre stock older phones so if you are in or near dublin it is worth a look.

    Reading up on this am now leaning towards a Nokia Lumia 520 or a Huawei Ascend Y300.

    The navigation app on the Nokia is nice but Windows OS is putting me off.
    Any other reason to choose one or the other?

    The 520 is a decent phone, good spec for the mone. Anything particular about he OS you don't like?

    Good camera option wold be an N8, but might be to old for what you want?
