I am going to buy one to use as a music player for when I am in the gym. If anything happens to it, I wouldn’t care.
Did you get one? I wanna know what the sound quality is like. I’m after a new audio player to keep permanently mounted on my bike.
Sorry mate. Didn’t end up buying one as we replaced my son’s HTC One M8 on the weekend due to a camera failure. I am going to use that whilst he plays with his new Galaxy S5.
Probably get one to setup as a security camera
You’d have to be REALLY low on money to buy this phone.

These ultra cheap phones can have other uses.
I have a super cheap handset paired just to my Bluetooth toothbrush and to the Bluetooth speaker in my shower to play podcasts.
