Re: Android phone question

Checked out prices, and the Galaxy 2 (2300 shekel) is a bit much.

What is the consensus regarding Galaxy S5300 Pocket? Runs Gingerbread
(Android 2.3) according to the specs (
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_pocket_s5300-4612.php), seems to
have a GPS, and priced somewhere between 1/3 and 1/4 of the 2?

I think it only works with Golan and Orange, but that is not a problem.

Bought this for my daughter a few weeks ago, when the spec I had was the
cheapest phone possible that can run whatsapp. She's* **very* happy with
it (also installed some other apps, of course, but no hacking - yet). To my
old eyes, the screen's a bit small, but hey, that's just me.

Re: Android phone question

Glad to hear your experience.  Can't bring myself to spend on the phone
twice as much and then some of my netbook...

The screen is small, but I hope it won't affect the sound quality. If your
daughter likes it, it probably has nice texting features, which might be
good, as a lot of times I can't talk but CAN text and email... So maybe I
should try it in a store and see how tiny is the virtual keyboard.

Thanks,

Z.
