Isn't as good as the previous argos offer mentioned a few weeks ago however having had jumped back up to £320 briefly it is currently back down to £280 online.
There does seem to be a stock issue in store with this phone nor is it listed in their catalogue however I have to say the delivery service is the best I have experienced.
I ordered my phone in store around 12.30 booked it in for the afternoon delivery 2-6pm and it was at my front door by 3.15.

Do you own a smartphone? If so, what OS? Just curious, does it have a half eaten Apple on the back?
Non intuitive, makes way too many mistakes. Has conflicting menus and operands.
From a software perspective (and I used to design software architecture) it feels as though it was designed by a group of people who never met, did not share a common plan and who were poorly managed, resulting in a bad end product.
Mine is going to my child to play with.

It runs stock Android. So, are you criticising the phone or the OS? Just curious!

Have just got one and really pleased with it. Running Marshmallow 6 and very straightforward to use.

I'm someone that uses android on a daily basis, but I put no value on stock android.
To me it seems like the os is perennially catching up and adding features that OEMs have been offering for years.

Well I've never found anything added by a manufacturer or network that I actually found useful. Perhaps Cyanogenmod might work for you?

This seems like a decent price and it runs stock Marshmallow but I agree it does feel rather disjointed and less slick than it could have been, in fact it feels a bit similar to how Windows10 is on a PC, a fairly decent OS (stability wise) that feels like it's been a marriage of designs that don't quite gel together. A beta if you will.
And yes I have stock marshmallow on a couple of phones .

I wonder if it's still scanning at £249 like it was before?

Not if it's still scanning at 249 like it was previously ;-)
