Mine's currently a Huawei Ascend Y300-100.  I got it because it was a 
cheap option, with a lot of internal memory (I thought).  In practice, I 
haven't found a way or rooting it, so the useable memory now is less 
than I achieved on my rooted Samsung Galaxy.  Memory handling is awful 
on Android systems.  I think you need to do a factory reset every six 
months.  Also, I've now gone very sour towards Android since I bought an 
Android Tablet, and got so frustrated with the way it wanted me to work 
that I gave it the grand kids.

I expect my next phone will be an Ubuntu Phone.  It will depend on what 
apps I can get for it.  The only two Android apps I depend on are the 
free satnav app, and the Virgin phone app that lets me make WiFi calls 
from anywhere in the world via my landline based system.  I used to use 
Callcentric for voip calls, at two-cents a minute.  These calls are now 
free courtesy of Virginmedia!  Does the Ubuntu phone currently run a 
compatibility layer to support Android apps?

I'm not planning upgrading anytime soon, but I'm going to need to know 
what it can do before I get one.

Regards,		Barry.
