Good cell phones for basic use?

[Canada EH]

I like the smaller touch screen phones, for basic transit maps using Google maps for route times, and basic internet.

 

 

In the $80 unlocked range are these phones - Acer Liquid Z220, Z320, Z410, also in that price range is ZTE Martin II Z730 and ZTE Simio

 

Then there are the more expensive $150ish Z530, $220 Z630, Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime and $200 Motorola (XT1064) MOTO G 2nd Gen

Are the Acer Liquid Z good phones.

the acer liquids are actually really good - i had one for a while cuz i was on a rogers plan and my phone died - i didn't want to get a new phone cuz that meant i would get charged a lot (you know how canadian cell providers work) i got an acer z just to hold over from costco - great performance - and at about 40 percent brightness lasts about 5 hours on a game or just video/internet browsing - it has a fucking subwoofer too

Does Costco sell them unlocked?

I see their cell phone booth but never paid much attention to it.

So Any Acer Liquid Z series. They seem like a major series for the brand.

They are not the refurbished, used and returned rejects.

I will have to check out their frequencies and what cases are available.

well the galaxy on5 is good for super basic stuff. I have it and can really only use maps and chrome and play one game (becase of storage issues, no matter what i delete it wont go under 7.63 gb used out of 8gb) its solid as in build quality, most $100 phones are cheaply made so the specs can be better and becase of that the charge port breaks on a lot of lower end phones, (like ones made by BLU)

but I'd suggest looking on ebay, I just won a s6 edge for $150 on ebay

Are the Nokia Lumia 635's any good?

BlackBerry phones - I never used one, but I find lots available unlocked for cheap. I might give one a try if the frequencies match up.

Oh and I got to look at the plans too, because they are different.

I will skip the BlackBerry's. The screen is too small.
