How does this compare to the new Desire 530 currently £99.99 + £10.00 at CPW?

Voted hot BTW

Is there any way to buy this without paying £10 for a top-up?

This is a great deal either way. :smiley:

sounds very good
I bought a ph in DEC from o2 reserved online for store pickup they didn't ask me to buy top-up it was a cheap lg phone so worth a try

Gutted. I bought this sim free from Argos at the weekend for £149.99

Thing is, mine is the blue version and the one on O2 is black.

For the hassle of returning the phone, buying an unlock code, waiting for the new phone to arrive, having the black one instead of the blue, it's just not worth it.

I got £20 Argos voucher anyway as I bought something else and they had the promo on.

I love the phone. Probably the best I've had for a long time - I had a Nexus 4, then a Nexus 5, LG G3, and then the Moto G 3rd.

I prefer this over the Moto G 3rd - it has more character to it and is better in the hand. It's very light and the camera is good too.

When this was initially released, the reviews were not that great when compared to the Moto G 3rd Gen but it was £250 at the time!

At this price its pretty good.

The fixed 2000mAh battery would be my only issue

I can confirm this is better than the Moto G. Everything about it is better. No marshmallow yet but that's due next month.
