Hi from the UK - which phone?
#1
Hi all,

great to be here , I'm here to learn & be advised on what phone that i could possibly get from china to work in the uk with my provider being vodafone.

i believe my 3g bands are 900mhz/ 2100mhz

I've been doing some research last couple of weeks & found some really nice phones but bands restricted.

im looking for good speeds
good gps & wifi
would prefer 16gb storage

my findings have me look at for my budget of approx £100
elephone p6000 ( problems with gps & compass i heard)
umi c1
lenovo s serries
iocean X7S (problems with back casing i heard)
PHICOMM X100w

any recommendations/advice would be highly appreciated

regards

Jammo

Elephone p6000 just released. The GPS in the review worked great. I don't think he tested compass. Might want to add a comment in the review for checking. So far the phone looks awesome for 900/2100. Umi and Lenovo are also a good bet.

I agree that the Elephone P6000 review seemed promising .

Right now (as of yesterday) the ulephone has my attention. Unfortunately, I haven't seen many reviews for it yet. If it were me, I'd wait until we see how it does.

The Elephone P3000s really has quite the feature set and power for the price as well. I'm optimistic to see how this one turns out. Right now it's backordered everywhere, but that also likely means there will be plenty of reviews out there to scope. Right now it's kind a bit out of your budget, but maybe we'll see some coupon codes or something pop up.

For an ultra budget phone, the THL 4000 really has my attention. I love battery life. I love battery life so much. I'm considering downgrading my phone to get one of those just because of the insane battery size. With coupon code it can be had for around $85, which is roughly half your budget. Kind of cool.
LG Nexus 4 | APQ8064 | 2GB / 16GB | 4.7"
Star S7589 | MTK6589 | 1GB / 8GB | 5.8"
THL T200C | MTK6592W | 2GB / 16GB | 6.0"
Mlais M52 | MTK6752 | 2GB / 16GB | 5.5"
innos D6000 | MSM8939 | 3GB / 32GB | 5.2"
Asus Zenfone 2 | Z2560 | 2GB / 16GB | 5.5"

I have the THL 4000 and it's an excellent phone regardless of price. It's thick but not in a bad way (if that makes sense). I pick it
up after using my Lenovo k910 (7.9mm) and I don't really notice it. For the price it's by far the best thing out there. If you're worried about Street Cred and people teasing you there's no better smackdown than reminding them about the shitty battery life of their phones and the fact you have dual-sim.

@jammo

If you're considering THL 4000 at all jammo. Stop considering. Just get it. Thumbs Up . Use the coupon and get it for $85 at Gearbest.

Good luck. Let us know how it turns out. If you don't like it you can still buy the THL 4000 and probably stay within your budget!
