What is the best smartphone (can be touchscreen or a BlackBerry) that works well and is under £80. It should have 3g at least as well. Not interested in ssecond hand also. Could also be a good phone on contract for about £7 a month with more than 200 free texts and some minutes. Thanks for any help.

For that price? Do you live in the same world as the rest of us?
The best you're looking at is gonna be the SE Xperia X8. It can be picked up for around £70/80 and it's not a bad little phone either. It should more than do what you're looking for.

Expanding the parameters a bit, but how is the Huawei ascend g300? Looks quite good, is it significantly better? Just for basic needs really. Are Windows phones and good? Any as cheap as 100?

I would rather buy the phone new and the Huawei ascend looks quite good but it's either that or a cheap Windows phone. Not too sure...

No offense but as the days pass, you're losing value on a phone that's two years old, so I hope you're prepared to keep that Evo because at least in my general region of the country, those go for $100 or less on CL.
As this price I prefer having a good mobile of the second hand before that a villain new mobile.
For cheap smartphones Zte and Huawei
the OG DroidX has got to be the best cheap device. Ive moved one from it. But owned about 3 of em before switching to the Gnex. But the X is almost impossible to destroy. And everything on it has been hacked for themeing and flashing.
Wait for the Key Lime Pie Nexus phone.

As others have said, it will be really hard to find a good phone at that price. If you are looking for a 24 month contract, this is the best I could find:
HTC Wildfire S [500MB data | 250 Minutes | 5000 Texts]
£7.50 monthly
£3.12 monthly with cashback
Hope that helped!
That's a great price!
Although, it is refurbished which doesn't bode well with the person I'm looking for the phone for

The Droid X will not work in the UK since it is a CDMA phone. You need a GSM phone for the UK and, afaik, there is no GSM version. I think you should go with the Wildfire S. Great phone for the price. Also, the contract is pretty good. But, if your friend does not want a refurbished phone then these are good options:
Samsung Galaxy Y [500MB data | 250 Minutes | 5000 Texts]
£7.50 monthly
Effectively £6.25 with offer of £30 Auto Cashback
HTC Desire C [500MB data | 250 Minutes | 5000 Texts ]
£19.99 upfront
£7.50 monthly
I would go with the Desire C if I were you. Hope these are better for your friend.

Original Quote by OnePlus Admin Carl : 2014 Q2 Production Update Today at 9:01 PM:
When we started OnePlus, one of the first things we announced was that our product would be available internationally in Q2 2014. We're well on track of achieving that.
However, after our product announcement, we realized that far more people wanted the One than what we originally anticipated. Over the past few days, we have been frantically adjusting our production schedule to make sure that as many people possible can buy the One, as soon as possible.
In our updated plan, we prioritized for two aspects; time to market and availability of the high capacity model (in that order). We now know that people want the 64GB Sandstone Black far more than the 16GB Silk White, but we also know that more than everything, people just want to get their hands on the device as soon as possible.
What we've done is dramatically increase the amount of 64GB Sandstone Black models in our production plans, while producing 16GB Silk White as long as they don't delay the time to market for Sandstone Black.
Our production schedule is as follows:
Ready now - 100 for phone smashers
Mid to late May - Larger batch 16GB Silk White for the first batch of invites
Early June - Larger batch 64GB Sandstone Black
Later in June - Increased general availability, people who want it should be able to get an invite without much trouble in June

I think this message is clear enough and i hope it will not be delayed more to get on of this piece!!!
Cheers
By the time end of June comes around, Two months after the phone was "released" .. I'm sure there will be another phone. Sucks but I'm out. Was looking forward to the opo for a couple days haha.. But not going to wait two months

Pricing
Man the pricing on the One+ is great but wonder how good the company tech support will be. I'm due for a new phone but LG G3, S5 Prime and Nexus 6 right around the corner.

But if they are releasing 100 phones a week for the next 2 months it will take a year before enough devs have the phone and can do good stuff..

Yeah but LG G3 and S5 prime is going to cost 600$/euro at least(like every other their flagship). Which is 2 times more than Oneplus One. I think Nexus 6 will be released later after August but who knows...
And when would it be available in india ?

Hi Everyone, Not been here for a while, since I defected to apple... Anyway, really looking forward to this OPO, I think its going to be a turning point for some flagship market domineers.
What I'd like to know is, does anyone know which retailers or phone outlets will be selling it?
To my understanding no retailer will ever sell the one plus one. You need to buy it directly from them. Though that's at least a couple months away.

I would like to upgrade my phone soon, but with the Nexus 6 disappointment I have no idea what to. I would like at least 32gb of storage, good camera, and better battery life than the nexus 5. I was looking at the G2, but it has to have 1700/2100 AWS frequencies. Any suggestions?

Do you think there will be any in the $350 range? Other than the oneplus two.
The 2014 Moto X is a great upgrade from the Nexus 5. I have and use both, and the X is an upgrade in pretty much every way.

The N5 is a budget smartphone, and was dirt cheap for what you got. You cant expect every phone out there to follow the same pricing model. I dont know why you think it's disappointing, it's a 2014 smartphone with 2014 specs. It has the same specs as the S5, HTC One M8, G3, but better build quality and performance, and cheaper than all of them. Just wait for the sale that you mentioned, thats an amazing price. And yeah it has the same GPU as the N5 but it is clocked higher, and side by side it is noticeably faster and smoother than the N5 is.
check the new Asus Zenfone 2 (Intel Atom, 4GB RAM)
