Hi all, I have just seen that EE has 4G rolled out in my area and I'd like to try it, trouble is my phone doesn't even support 4G, or even DC Hsdpa!

So, I am wondering which is the cheapest, and decent Pay as you go phone Which supports both 4G and DC Hsdpa, as I'd like to see the true speed of 3G.

I'd like to know what is the cheapest of the cheap phone that supports those and which is the best overall, I've looked on the EE website and the cheapest is a Alcatel One Touch Idol S. Looks good, but has no removable battery and only 4GB internal space.

Cheers! :)

    Nokia Lumia 820 cheapest windows £100-120

    PS Z10 doesn't support DC-HSDPA but supports LTE.

    I'd recommend the Sony Xperia SP then - really good spec and battery life for the price.

    I've got a HTC one sv
    Guess they are well under £150 now for a used one.

    Nice phone, I've had mine now for a few months which is a long time for me to keep a phone.

    Surely the Lumia 620 is cheaper?

    The OP said they are not a fan of Windows Phones and want an Android phone.

    OP I had a HTC One SV which was 4G. Not a bad phone.

    If you want a Android 4G device the HTC One SV and the Xperia SP are probably the best choices. With the Xperia SP being the better of the two.

    Plus to clarify the Lumia 620 doesn't support 4G anyway,

    The 625 is the cheapest phone 4G to my knowledge at around £140. You aren't going to get a lot of Android 4G phone for that money.

    My only reason for mentioning the 620 was because the Lumia 820 was mentioned as the cheapest Windows Phone.
