    You're not giving yourself much to play with at that price. I haven't used either but I've heard good things about the Vodafone smart prime 6 at 90 bob and the Samsung galaxy core prime is 110 quid.
    Neither will blow your mind but should be pretty decent. Do a search here on boards for comments on either or use devicespecification.com

    Better screen on the Prime 6 - 720p HD IPS. Core Prime has a dreadful 480x800 TFT screen.

    Also, Prime 6 is €20 cheaper. No-brainer really.

    Thanks folks, just bought the Vodafone one, 90 quid, grand. But how do I then unlock it? I assumed there'd be something on ebay, but there aint! Is this site a good alternative? - http://www.unlocklocks.com/

    That's the smart ultra 6, & not the smart prime. I think they're different?

    Yes, the smart prime can only be unlocked by Vodafone at the moment.

    No idea. I know you can get ones bought from Vodafone UK on eBay so maybe it's just a matter of time before the codes become available for Ireland too but that might just be wishful thinking.

    Stick something like Nova on it when you get it, its an excellent launcher and gets rid of a lot of the idiosyncratic crap some cheaper phones get stuffed with.
