    Wow! They're cheap. Has anyone here used them?

      I'm on my third. I'd still be on my first, but I keep breaking the damned things -- reason No.1 for not paying EUR600 a pop. I've had a Doogee and a Xiaomi. and I've currently got an Asus. All of them brilliant (and already superseded by better models -- which is good, because I'm bound by the laws of the great god Buggermi to break this one, soon).

        I'm rather tempted - my ex-contract Galaxy S5 is falling to pieces (through complete and utter neglect and abuse, it must be admitted) and there's no way that I'm either going to pay current Samsung prices or go back on contract. I'm not a big user of the "smart" aspects of a 'phone and I really don't need a camera that outstrips Hubble for something that might occasionally be deployed as a hand-held scanner so the whole concept of paying more for a 'phone than a laptop is kind of ridiculous to me when 'phone calls, texts, an alarm clock, a browser and the ability to run a handful of apps are the only real requirements. For me (and I suspect the majority of users) 'phones hit the "all you'll ever need" level a good while ago - does being the latest thing really offer any benefit other than being the latest thing? I suspect not. Old and Chinese could well be the way ahead!

          I haven't regretted it; they've all worked fine -- at a total cost of around EUR500, rather than closer to EUR2000. [edit] And DX is very hot on customer service -- don't tell them, but one of the phones I broke sort-of didn't look like I broke it, and they gave me a full refund within a couple of days of my returning it. [/edit]
