    Hi all,

    After tolerating an old iPhone with no WiFi from for so long I'm hoping to get a new phone. Budget is €230 max and I need it for email, a few apps (TuneIn, Facebook etc), 4G and to be reliable for texting and phoning with a good enough battery.

    Is the HTC Desire 510 or 610 a good enough phone for what I need? Any other recommendations?

    Cheers

    I was in the same boat as you recently and was looking at the htcs with meteor after doing some homework on it I got the moto g. spec wise its better than the htcs and will update to android 5
    meteor sell them for 159
    also available in tescos and argos
    I m very happy with it and after coming from an old phone I'm asking myself why did I not do this ages ago

    I get asked this question a lot in work so I made up a list of what I think are the best phones around at the moment.

    The HTC 510 and 610 are grand, but they both have flaws.

    Low res screen on both of those phones.
