Whereas kids who aren't brought up to be spoiled little bas****s of less well off families will be grateful for getting what they do.

What an obnoxiously snobbish comment!!!
Not everyone can afford to buy their kids a iPhone for chrimbo...

NO one better say "great for teenagers"! Imagine the look on your kid's face when they've asked for a smart phone and open up this piece of .... on christmas morning!:smirk:

Right! Stop arguing you two and come in and wash your hands,your teas nearly ready!

An extra tenner would get you a 1GB / 4G / 4.5" IPS screen BLU Win JR available in 5 different colours. It depends if you value them specs at £10.

I certainly would.

what would this be like for web surfing and basic apps?

Even I know a micro sd card will sort that out.

Calm down dear. No one is saying you have to buy anyone an iPhone. You can find loads of excellent deals on HUKD for good phones that are better in every way than this Bush. Sometimes cheap just means cheap, not good value.

You may find that many apps wont run from an SD card.

Watching something like that now, thanks. I want a dirt cheap phone that I don't care if it breaks, but runs apps and allows web access.

Where oh where in my post does it refer even vaguely to an iPhone. I think your reply says a bit more about you than it does me.

Obviously I don't know that then. :smirk: I thought most would.

This phone is cheap enough to take the chance I suppose. Not much lost if you need to change again a bit further down the line!

Yeah, 30 squid wouldn't get me much else I suppose?

True, but if you were going to buy a new memory card for this, you could get a 64gb micro SDHC for a few of quid more than a 32gb (largest capacity) standard micro SD card.
Just saying.:smiley:

Just gone OOS for online delivery anyway. Can't be bothered to drive to a store to pick up. The part time hunt goes on.

You're so predictable. Go troll somewhere else.

I do not see Free £10 Lebara credit?

£29.95 down the drain. that's what this phone is

I think the "iSheep" comment (with your handily prepared graphic) is much closer to trolling than me calling you out on jumping to conclusions. :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks Buzz, something to think about.

Nice, how would this compare to the lumia range? Im thinking of getting a phone with windows OS for limited Microsoft Office tasks (spreadsheet updates, minor editing in Word etc,) on-the-move, to save lugging a laptop absolutely everywhere with me. Could you make any suggestions? I would prefer 5"+ screen, max £100. Thanks in advance

I'd agree, definitely worth the extra tenner if you can stretch. The 1gb ram alone should mean it'll get Windows 10 too, which, incidentally, does mean most if not all apps will install to a memory card.

Right! Stop arguing you two and come in and wash your hands,your teas nearly ready!

Ahh, just found out you can't get wotwine on windows app store. Android it is then!

Think you missed the joke here .....bit harsh

​Indeed. Many apps you can't move and many more that won't run properly when on external storage.

If you can get past the name-calling, few people have anything good to say about this. I'd go for a Lumia every time. You can get a Lumia 435 on PAYG upgrade for £29.99 from Carphone Warehouse or go up to a 640 for £79.99. I have the 640 and am very happy with it. See available options here.

A couple of words of explanation:
- Carphone Warehouse (CPW) phones are always unlocked, so you can use it with your existing network
- To get a PAYG upgrade at CPW you need a PAYG SIM that has been used in the last 6 months - the exact terms vary. CPW have all of the main networks except 3. If you don't have a suitable PAYG SIM, the phone will cost you another £10 plus another £10 top-up.

Maybe on Windows Phone 7, my personal experience was only an extreme minority of apps having SD issues on Lumia 535 on Windows Phone 8.1!
In terms of recommendation, the 535 runs fine but screen sensitivity is not the best - the BLU phones from Amazon look most competitive for the sub-£100 mark?

OK. thanks. Think ill stick with the plan for a Lumia. Subtle hints time I think cos I dont really need or want anything else for xmas. Thanks again for your time and effort.

Smartphone for secret agents! They usually use it once and then throw away :smiley:

Great starter phone or to have as a spare. There is some stock at the washington (sunderland ish) and metro centre Argos. Il be picking mine up from Washington, less traffic.

Thanks op

"You caught a Silver Gingerbread Flamedeer!"

You caught a Silver Gingerbread Flamedeer! better

silver silentnight for me

Flamedeer thanks

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah! :-D

How does it do with watching video, please?

While this is cheap, I would personally spend slightly more for the Lumia 435 or BLU Win JR LTE, both phones offer better value and a better experience for only £10 more.

The Bush is actually a re-branded BLU WIn Jr (the original 3G version, not the 2nd gen LTE version as sold at Amazon).


Sorry, but this is rubbish unless you are thinking about Android.

As long as you have a good SD card the apps will run without any noticeable difference, apart from slightly longer initial load times in some larger games.

99% of apps in the Windows Store are fully installable to the SD card


The SD200 chip in this phone is not the most capable out there. It will play videos in up to 720p. 1080p vids will either fail to play (green screen with sound), or will play at slideshow like framerate.

this also has a 2 year guarantee

If you can find stock and use or sell the £10 Lebara credit then the phone is effectively £20. At worst a spare mp3 player or sat-nav or emergency camera.

Getting harder to find standard size sim mobile phones, this one has the bonus of being dual sim, 1x3G and 1x2G. Good for holidays or having a personal/business phone all in one handset.

A technophobe or elderly relative can try this phone easily as most time they will have a standard size sim in any case.

It won't be the greatest phone or have street cred but for the £30 you also get an extra cover (backplate), a gel cover and 2 screen protectors.

Superb value for money. Voted hot.

this phone is junk even for thirty pound.if you havent much money which i know a lot of people struggling especially with this horrible evil make the rich richer goverment then at least spend an extra tenner and buy the blu windows phones for 40 off amazon its actually a decent phone and runs really well

Well, for this price you could get a similarly specced Android as a PAYG upgrade on CPW. Would be a much better choice, simply as the apps teenagers use like Snapchat aren't in the WP store.

All I need to say is well said! Oh and keep in mind people you can use your nectar points at argos so can knock off a couple of quid off :smiley: merry Xmas to you all

Thank you sO much for posting this deal...
My mum is being dragged into the 21st Century, and as takes a full size sim, no palaver of swapping her Three SIM out from her ancient Nokia! :smile:

heat added,3G, dual sim, windows - bargain.

Do not watse your money on this, i have the 5 inch version and its a piece of pimply ****.

this phone is Archos​ make not Blu​ win got one today.

did you get the Lebara £10 as a separate voucher?

in the box is a sim card pack it says on it £10 credit added.

The Archos 40 Cesium, BLU WIN Jr, and Bush Eluma B1 are all the same phone, manufactured in the same plant in China under different brands. The phone isn't manufactured by Archos, BLU, or Bush.

I only mentioned that it was a BLU WIN Jr, as that is the version with the most sales, and was put on sale first (the BLU WIN Jr and Archos 40 Cesium were announced at the same time).

looks like you are right as today watched some videos on youtube and it said what you said.

Thanks OP.

All the included accessories mean I don't have to fork out more ££ for screen/mobile protectors & earphones.
Dual SIM means I can keep my regular number as well as use Lebara.
Using a £5 voucher from a previous promotion and factoring in the £10 Lebara credit being perfect to use over Christmas & New Year to contact my friends/family abroad, makes £15 a bargain way for me to try out a Windows mobile. :smile:

Great phone for teenagers BTW :stuck_out_tongue:
