Mine's currently a Huawei Ascend Y300-100. I got it because it was a cheap option, with a lot of internal memory (I thought). In practice, I haven't found a way or rooting it, so the useable memory now is less than I achieved on my rooted Samsung Galaxy. Memory handling is awful on Android systems. I think you need to do a factory reset every six months. Also, I've now gone very sour towards Android since I bought an Android Tablet, and got so frustrated with the way it wanted me to work that I gave it the grand kids.
I expect my next phone will be an Ubuntu Phone. It will depend on what apps I can get for it. The only two Android apps I depend on are the free satnav app, and the Virgin phone app that lets me make WiFi calls from anywhere in the world via my landline based system. I used to use Callcentric for voip calls, at two-cents a minute. These calls are now free courtesy of Virginmedia! Does the Ubuntu phone currently run a compatibility layer to support Android apps?
I'm not planning upgrading anytime soon, but I'm going to need to know what it can do before I get one.
