The 5 best value smartphones
by Kesken
5 smartphones available on Amazon that do a lot for the money.
Affordable smartphones
In the coming months, many of us will be inundated with a slew of new phones, making us regret that brand new(to us) phone that we spent so much on. It's frustrating how they state a phone as obsolete after a couple of months. Many of us would not care to buy new when they already have an adequate phone. Others still just want to purchase a smartphone that has features we actually use, with recent technology and to be relatively affordable. Affordability is a huge factor. For those that just want a competent smartphone without the unnecessary bells and whistles- check these phones out. These phones are listed according to my personal experience with some of them, are brand new and are each under $300.00.They are all touch screen types too. (Sadly, physical keys are a dying breed.)

Samsung Galaxy
S5570
This is one of the more affordable ones, but a brings a lot to the table with some popular features. It can be held with one hand too.It lacks the quality of some other phones though. It seems they made it a little too entry level so it feels rather cheap. It was rendered inoperable by a pal of mine in two months. (Granted,he sat on it, but he's a skinny guy!) But that build quality still seems suspect to me. However,for those that seek a small affordable phone with decent specs, this fits the bill.
Nokia C6-01
I have always been a fan of Nokia phones for a good reason. It has some great build quality and looks expensive.I blushed while holding it! However, if you are coming from an Apple product, I can't recommend. I had to actually train my friend to use the phone when she moved from her iPhone! She got lost in the menu constantly. She was so frustrated,I washed my ears after hearing some of the expletives she aimed at the phone.

Samsung Galaxy Ace
Another phone from the Galaxy line. It brings to the table a decently sized screen, Android OS 2.2 (Froyo), and a high class smartphone look among many other features. On first seeing it, I thought it was more expensive than it is- and that's a good thing. Just don't expect fantastic pictures. it looks better than it feels though...

LG Optimus GT 540
LG has it's own premium smartphone line- the Optimus brand. This phone is one of the more affordable choices. It is an exceptionally stylish and unique phone and comes in varying colours. It's a great start up phone and for people who marvel at these phones as if it was shipped direct from the year 2030 makes it a good option. Don't expect too save a huge amount of apps though, space is limited.

HTC Surround
Maybe it's because I like novelty in my stuff, but for me, this phone represents an excellent value buy! It has cool features all round including speakers that slide out. I have never seen that on a phone and was instantly impressed. It has a large clear screen too. Yes, it is rather gimmicky (who really pulls out speakers from their phone?) and I have heard it falls flat in speaker quality but at this price, one can't complain!
HTC Surround
