What smartphone for c.£200
Discussion
My Nokia Lumia(?) 520 had an accident this weekend so I'm looking for a replacement. I want to steer clear of Windows if possible as I just don't get on with it and the app store is severly lacking at the moment. Does anybody have any suggestions as to a budget smartphone? I'm looking to spend around £200 and use it for calls, texting, twitter and facebook etc.
Thanks

Phone arrived yesterday. First impressions are that it seems well built and the screen is phenomenal for handset of this price. Usual Android features so I'm chuffed to pieces with it. The phone came with a screen protector, two cases (one a flip case and the other a silicone(?) type rear cover, usb, charger, instructions and earphones).
One slight, well massive issue, is that it uses a full size SIM - I currently use a Micro SIM but looking at the adapters on eBay and Amazon they will take a week or so to arrive. Does anybody know if I go into a 3 store whether they can just sort me out with one there and then? I've tried ringing my local store but no reply and I can't face dealing with the customer service agents at 3 at this time of day

Don't know about 3 but Carphonewarehouse sell sim adapters for a few quid. They make your micro sim into a normal sized one.

Hmm, loads of people have them lying around.
As for the phone stores, they now come in three sizes that can be "pushed" out, and depending on your sim insertion type you can actually use the remainder of the plastic as an adaptor:
Might ask a phone store if they have some of the plastic laying around.
Cheers guys, will pop into 3 or CPW tonight on my way through town As for the phone stores, they now come in three sizes that can be "pushed" out, and depending on your sim insertion type you can actually use the remainder of the plastic as an adaptor:
