Hello,
I'm looking to buy my first android phone. Really I would love any advice you think is important for a first time buyer, like things to avoid.
I will probably use it mainly as a music/movie player, so I want to keep the price below $200 if I can, and used or refurbished is fine with me.
I don't know anything about "rooting", but I'm open to that, as I heard you can buy a cheaper device and put a better version of android on it.
I've searched around a lot of ebay and amazon, but I can never make a decision because I don't know much about some of the technical stuff. So any recommendations or advice would be appreciated.
Also, does anyone have experience with these chinese generic android phones, some running jellybean. Many sound too good to be true and have inconsistent reviews.
Summary:
- Battery life is important to me
- Budget: Around $150
- Main uses: MP3 / Movie player
- Don't have a data plan, so I will use a 2G AT&T simcard and wifi for data
- Open to/intirested in "rooting"
Thanks a lot.
