    I bought the new moto 4g 5' & really hated it... I found it slow and sluggish, unresponsive & very laggy especially when typing!!
    I also hated the fact that you can't multitask so apps had to be reopened & started from scratch each time..
    Every time I was on a call I would do something in the call with my ear or cheek and that did my head in...
    Also It was quite heavy & thick with a short battery life!
    There was more I didn't like about it but can't remember now!

    I bought it for 199 & sold it for 150... Bought myself the ultra 6 which I genuinely love... It's a FAB fone for the price and the only issue I have is the one of changing settings etc during a call...

    HOWEVER The size is starting to get to me a bit and I find that I leave it in the car etc if I'm going out as it's just too big if you don't have pockets or a big bag with you... Which kinda defeats the purpose... I don't really know what I'm going to do now, probably sell it & look for something a bit smaller & hopefully as good... :(

    I would probably go for the smart prime but I heard it can't be unlocked from Vodafone...

    Haven't bought anything yet, but we had a look in the Vodafone shop today - the Smart Ultra is lovely but she thinks its too big. There is the smaller version for about half the price, but I'm worries it would be a bit slow etc - camera is not as good. Can anyone advise?

    That (Smart Prime 6) is good for the money but not a premium phone. The other problem is that it is very difficult to unlock from Vodafone
