DaggerSo I'm gunna bump this instead of making a new one.
I bought an iphone 4s a couple years ago for 200 bucks with a $60 monthly plan and realized how much a terrible waste of money cell phones are. I'm looking for a phone that is:
$100-$200 on it's own
calling
texting
3G data
good battery life
If you really want something well priced I'd say get a Moto G, however it is pushing more to the smart phone area so the battery life isn't the best, having said that I don't think many phones in general have good battery life these days with moderate usage.
Another good shout is the Moto E and some of the Huawei phones are pretty decent as well.
There are some better options out there that are good (LG G2, S4) which would be about a year old or so now, however I do believe that you guys in NA get fucked in the asshole when it comes to phones on contract.
Here I would pay nothing up front for the phone but pay like £42-£52 p/m for 2 years. I think in NA you gotta pay like £100+ for the phone?
Anyway, Moto G or E.
