    They are very similar. The main difference being a MicroSD on the Ace II on on the U. I think the Ace II has a better spec, the U is a bit higher quality.

    Hope that helps a little bit. You can use that site to compare most phones on the market.

    bought this on adverts for gf for 100e 2months back and it is a fine phone. essentially the same as my xperia ray. no problems with it and it is very fast, if you can get over its quite bricky feel in your hand then go for it

    i have the U which i bought after my iphone broke. It’s actually pretty good, well worth the money, fast and the screen resolution is excellent. My only complaint is the type pad, it’s too small and not very accurate. If you do get it the swiftkey is the best though

    I always use swiftkey too. Much better than the default android keyboard.

    May seem a stupid question but

    Is it new or manufacturers seconds.

    I guess its new as it comes with a 2 year warranty.

    I bought it too after my iPhone broke. This is my only complaint too. I got fed up typing the wrong thing with fat fingers (they are actually skinny!)

    The screen is small for browsing but it does the job

    Download Big Buttons if you have fat fingers.

    If you've big fingers, don't buy a smaller smart phone. Buy a big one.

    Turn the phone 90 degrees (on its side), and the keyboard is much larger.

    I changed the keypad to the old style tip with three characters on each button. So abc etc... So you toggle across.

    Even with the phone turned on it's side it's still not perfect. I have skinny fingers myself so god help anyone bigger than me!
