I've had one of those Nokia Windows phones for about 6 months. It took me ages to figure out how to use it. My previous Samsung was much more intuitive, I'll get another Samsung when this phone dies.wackyjacky wrote:If you can live with Windows OS, a lot of recent Nokia models are going super cheap now. Microsoft is giving them away to gain market share me thinks. Same w/Google & the Motos to a lesser extent. Some decent Samsung Korean models are great deals here. GF got a good one for $120. IIWY, I'd spend a little more and grab an LG G2 for $220. That would be a great price even in the States. A shop is advertising them on Khmer 24.
Best smart phone for under $150

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
I was able to get a great condition, second-hand Samsung Galaxy Note II for $130 at the Chbar Ampov market. It's been 3 months and the phone itself hasn't caused any issues for me.
I was also going to suggest a galaxy note 2. And for $130-170 it's probably the best phone you can get specs wise if you don't mind the size of the phone.

I've been offered Samsung Galaxy Note S2 for $150. It's second hand (obv) but in good condition.
Is that a good deal or not?

$150 for a note 2 isn't bad at all imo as long as it's in good shape. I've never seen a note 2 for $80-90 in any of the shops. Last time I checked it was $190 but that was a while ago.

I'm also in the market for a $150-250 phone. My past two have been Sonys and I'm pleased overall. The note seems like a good deal because of the 720 screen and the fact that it could act as a mini tablet. However, the size seems a bit bulky to me. I'll have to go tonight shop and test it out, but I like phones to fit comfortably in my pocket (dress pants, jeans, shorts...). I'm afraid a phone that size would be uncomfortable while sitting on a motorcycle or anywhere for that matter. Any other ideas?

You can get a Sony Experia Z C6603 for $195 delivered on Ebay if you've got a Paypal account. It's a great phone: http://www.engadget.com/products/sony/xperia/z/

That Sony looks pretty nice. I like that it's water and dust resistant. That's one thing I like about several Sony models. Not sure I want to go with Windows as reviews are so-so both here and elsewhere (plus, it's Windows...). Also forgot to mention that a phone with large integrated memory (16G on that Sony should be enough) is a must. So many Android phones come with memory slots, but then you're stuck with like 4G of internal memory, and tons of Apps are automatically installed on the internal memory (and can't be moved). Often even pictures and videos go straight on the internal memory. I've seen it happen on several Android phones and it's extremely annoying (can't transfer the files over to the card). That's one thing I liked about the older Nexus phones, but I don't feel like forking out $500 on a phone.
