Escort boy Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I'm looking at getting a touch screen phone in about a month and reckon i'll buy a 2nd hand one on ebay. The trouble is I'm not sure which is alright and good value for money for what spec you get. For example an iPhone is not very good value for money at £300 for a second hand one imo as it's got all hype around how cool they are. I've looked at the Samsung Tocco and they seem like the perfect spec, touch screen, 5mp camera, micro SD slot. They are going for around £100 2nd hand. What other phones out there which have a similar spec are there? I have no clue about phone models but you guys seem to know all about which phones are good etc from what I've read. So to sum up, anything like a Tocco which I can pick up quite cheaply on e-bay? Gracias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewLX Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Ive got a LG viewty not bad at £100 new decent 5mp camera SD slot not too hard to hack either I can have an iphone theme on mine, not that I use it lol Also got a few movies on mine screen is pretty good for play back. There are probably much better phones for the money you have though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What actually happens if you buy one and they report it stolen? I did this years ago on ebay, bought a phone and somebody reported it stolen, what it was was sombodys parent selling there sons phone that they had bought, their son had it blocked but luckily i got my money back.That was my first ebay buy ever and almost put me off lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewLX Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 My sig picture was taken with the camera on my viewty, really cant complain at all. I they report it stolen the networks will lock the puc code of the phone making it useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
