Do you see anything with 2gb ram for under 150 euro.

Android needs 2gb for a decent experience.

Those MTK processors give a basically unusable GPS experience on any phone that uses them, Im going Snapdragon next time, maybe a OnePlusOne.

Also worked on my quad core T versions.

Does it get a fix and then lose it the minute you start moving though? Thats what a lot of people report. The old dual core versions are complete cack anyway, I have one.

Never happened to me anyway, I do recall the dual core being muck.

Ordered. It's going in and out of stock though so you have to keep an eye on it if you want to order.

Thanks OP.

The only model that seem to have malware is the N 9500 which is a clone of the Samsung S4. But some US posters are questioning if the malware is any worse than what is provided by Google. "We don't know what happens the data stored by Google" is their complaint.

Some chinese phones had a virus that send a 50c text to the states periodically on the sly, so i would defintely be checking out any model i got.

Apologies for raising an old thread from the dead but thought I might get some advice here. I managed to smash the screen on my Star S6. Finding it impossible to locate a replacement. Any ideas?

Or if anyone has a dead Star S6 with screen intact please PM me. Maybe we could do a deal.
