Those built-in video cameras are great. I keep wondering how the keep the lens from getting scratched though.

The processor is important on smartphones and the RAM (random access memory) too, in the same way that those are important for a computer in terms of better performance.

Thanks everyone! I'll go away and consider all of that. It seems crazy, but I have dozens of laptops on which I can install almost any Windows or Linux operating system, and can even use the Linux terminal a fair bit these days, but I wouldn't even know how to switch a mobile phone on and off.....

If it wasn't for the huge monthly payments and the ads and tracking I'd have bought one years ago. Oh, and the touchscreen. Touchscreens hate me.

Best of luck with it all anyway DeepHour I'm sure you'll get there

My daughter reckons you can get a smart phone for 50 odd quid in the Argos on Vodafone

A lot of the cheaper smartphones can be unreliable in terms of their performance. For example, they might be slow when using the internet, even slower than the performance specification of the phone model suggests. Or the software might have poor support and the cameras might take poor quality shots etc.

It is worth researching which the better models are and getting one of those if a person can afford that, in my experience.

I'm finding a lot of good discount deals recently. Could become an important financial survival tactic in the next few years.

You'll have to give us the skinny on them whips when you've tried them

So they're charging in dollars for discounted milk?

Well spotted

Aaaaagh.....didn't notice that. Result of sitting in a semi-darkened room with the laptop keyboard at arm's length. Don't know why the milk was discounted anyway, as it has an 8 April sell-by date. This Poundland deal of 2 litres of milk for £1 seems too good to last, so I'm going to make the most of it.
