Basically my HTC desire packed in aftewr 18 months of abuse. Im now using my spare as Im not due an upgrade till next March. Problem being I use my phone a LOT at work, google maps, internet etc etc.

So what are my options, not fussed by make or elityeness but it must use the android operating system as I have a few apps that I couldnt live without that are not available for the I-phone.

I've just gone galaxy s3 after 2 years with a desire. Absolutely spot on, seems big at first but used to it now.faster, big bright screen , all the android apps etc and a good camera whilst h the desire lacked.

It is covered by my bank through my current account but I havent registered it and I need the original reciept to do so, which ive lost!

The Desire was sent to Mazuma last week as the fault it had with the mic didnt class it as broken to them.

Basically just after something thats not going to break the bank but is still decent. Would be happy to spend 150ish and I'll just not bother with an upgrade in March if its decent. Im on and off building sites all day in my lorry so dust is a big factor, not sure if theres any good options for phones like those old Nokias that were dustproof etc??

Huawei Ascend G300 - runs ICS and is currently the best sub £100 phone (Tesco are apparently doing it for £89).

There's a dust phone JCB that's runs android. Can't remember how much it is though. Have a look on mobilefun.com.
