Best reliable mid range smart phone for PGPSW software

[Tafia]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a mid-range smart phone with GPS, say up to £150 for use with the Pocket GPS World speed camera warning system?

Anyone got such a phone with this app in use?

Reliability is prime. I understand that using GPS does not eat into my data allowance.

Thanks

The GPS functionality may be built into the phone, but the maps for using the CamerAlert 'map mode' will probably need to be downloaded before/during your trip and thus use some of your data allowance.

Cheers,

Yes I understand that Google maps for example uses 6MB for ten minutes use and any such data use would be well within my 500 MB per month allowance.

Any recomendations for a good smartphone to handle PGPSW using reliably?

My Motorola Moto G works fine with the PGPSW App. It runs reliably in the background with Android TomTom on the screen. If you use the App in 'list' mode it doesn't use any data when on the move.

Many thanks for that suggestion. I have looked at the Moto G and it gets wonderful reviews.

Any issue with the battery not being user-replaceable?

Best wishes

Not that I've experienced yet but I've only owned the phone for about a month. I saw a film somewhere which showed the battery being removed, I'd imagine that if the battery becomes a problem there'll be supplies of batteries and methods to replace. Cheers - Andy
