    Just bought a Lumia 630 from O2 for 79.99. Thing is a few friends didnt recommend it and reviews are iffy but it was so cheap i bought it. Its still in delivery stage so i have a 14 day cool off time. Can you guys tell me a better phone? The moto G is kinda expensive even sim free from amazon.de its 160 i think. The Kestrel phone got great reviews or huawei but i cant find a selling site for it? My m8s dont like the windows OS and i've only been android. Another thing i read about chinese sites that sell phones are they good or someone got links to any cheap sites like that?

    Thanks guys

    I bought a Swees 5.0 inch phone from amazon. Delivered to my door for less than 90 euro. I had an S3 and the swees is just as good.

    Windows Phone is a better phone. Its much simpler and faster to do lots of things. Like make a phone call things like that. I really like the speed of the OS. I think it works much better on a low end smart phone than android does.

    But its lacks some features of Android, and it has less apps, and the apps are often not as good. Android is a better smarthphone. If you want to run 20 apps at once.

    The 630 is a budget phone. But a great budget phone. The moto G is even better phone but its twice the price.

    If you are a power user, and a bigger budget, and love all your apps, you'll prefer the Moto G. (wait for the 4G one). If you are not a power user, but want something that just works simply then you'll like the 630. But it worth spending a little time looking up how WP works to get the best out it , as its a little different to Android.
