Honestly. £20. It’s all bonkers isn’t it? This, as I’ve said before, is an Android phone that would’ve cost you £100 only a very short time ago. Now you can purchase a smartphone for a mere £20. Let’s get some things out the way. This is entry level. …

Europe. It’s a touchy subject for us Brits right now. Don’t ask me about it, I’ll just grumble, “I told you so”. Anyhoo, if you want to buy a Alcatel POP 4 (it’s available from Carphone Warehouse but we couldn’t find it on their website at the time …
