Went into Asda and asked about cheap vodafone handsets on PAYG for my little girl. They showed me what they had then said they had some clearance Vodafone Smart 4 mini's available at just £15.00! Thought it was a bargain for a smart phone.

Bargain! Vodafone Smart phones are very good. I had one for work and was sorry to leave it when I changed jobs.

I really wouldn't call this one good. Its not a bad deal, just dont expect to get much done with it

No offence but thats not particularly informative.
Its up there with 'red cars go faster' .
Which particular 'smart' phone did you have?

Very fragile build. Even 15 is too much.

Not true, my son has had one for over a year now (first mobile), dropped man times and still working fine with no damage.
I have put it in a £5 case from Amazon and put a screen protector on it, but its so light, when it's dropped it doesn't get any damage.
Would highly recommend this for a first child mobile.

Great little phone if you don't expect too much. Have this as a backup. Battery lasts a week turned on but not being used, good signal strength and can be unlocked for 99p on ebay. The touchscreen is a bit unresponsive but you'll struggle to find anything better at this price.

That comment can be rather misleading. Unlocking this phone depends on the particular IMEI.

Vodafone have a range called 'Smart', such as the Smart Mini, Smart Turbo, Smart Ultra and Smart Prime.

Bang a high capacity micro SD card in, some reasonable headphones, turn off mobile phone settings and you have a good music player.

good point, well made. If this was a sansa clip MP3 player people would be going crazy for it at this price.

Great price for a basic app phone, or even a home remote control for your gadgets with no sim, or with a sim for a house phone and remote :wink:

need something to replace my "gumtree" phone, an old san francisco which is having charging issues. Is this phone unlockable? and is it usable for just gmail, sms and reminders? I know it'll "work" but I dont want something terribly slow.
