This could go cold due to recent £20 LikeNew deal (Now OOS though),
but this deal is for New, Fully Boxed and Possibly Net Cost only £10 more.
Unlocks for £0.99 from eBay (Search for model 5045X)
No. Hardly any memory is left to install apps, and the ones already installed can't be removed or moved to an microSD card.
Know someone who recently got one, and after installing a couple of small apps (not even games) can't do anything with the phone.

I got it on the £20 like new deal. I am really impressed with it for £20 so far and would happily have paid more for it. It is obviously a lower spec phone than most these days but for the money I think its great value. Brand new ones would come with the box and charger which I didnt get. Has a lovely bright screen and seems reasonably responsive to me. Suppose it depends on what you are used to though.

EE is rubbish in my area remember reading my local newspaper and some woman chained herself to the local EE shop with a big sign saying 'please release me let me go' thought this was hilarious it worked though, they let her leave her contract and giff gaff gave her a full page advert for her dog grooming business just to rub it in and show support!

Is the local newspaper online it would make an interesting read
When this op posted a pixi 4 4 inch for £10 with O2 a couple of days ago I looked on their website and they had the 5 inch for £20. I posted a comment about it on that deal and it sold out quickly before I could post a seperate deal. Might be worth checking the O2 website every now and then though to see if it comes back. They have a section for 'like new' phones.

I got the phone in front of me, and there is a sticker saying it is 8MP and 5MP camera. I got mine from O2 though.
Argos Q&A says this is 5045X model, which is the same as mine.
You can always check before you buy in Argos.

I have it bookmarked so if I see it come back in stock I will let you know. You dont even have to buy a top up with it. You have to select one but they dont actually charge you the £10.

I got 3x 3G versions in ASDA a few months ago (on Virgin for £34.99 with no need for topup) Got 2x of them for the kids (under 10) to play Pokémon go. Decent phone. clear screen. good audio. kids have never had any issues. front flash is a nice touch for selfies. Cameras on the 3G model are 8mp rear & 5mp front... Can't see the 4G version being worse. APP space seems good for the budget. kids have BIG game files installed. expandable sd slot too. other phone went to a teenager who's had no issues with app space. Facebook, Spotify all installed. thumbs up all round. ***Only note worthy point is the 3G and 4G versions need different cases/covers due to slightly different placement of camera and speakers! so if buying online, check the model number.***
