Archos made the original ones and in fairness the windows one was not bad at all
Extras where a little lacking, but the mobile i had did come with a free case in box This model is £199 quid - way to much i think this will be a discounted handset soon I would say this could go for about £129.99 Every other bush phones did get reduced quite a bit soon after going on sale Last edited by davetech : 15-08-2016 at 17:38.

Same price as the new J5 and 40 quid dearer than the Moto G4? You've got to be kidding.....

Better spec than either of those.
On paper maybe but I await a review, although many sites seem a bit snobby about reviewing the very cheapest brands like Alba and Bush. I realise the Samsung J5 has worse specs but I include it because it's a Samsung and this is.... well a Bush....see I can do snobby too! |

I reviewed the Bush Spira D2 5.5 and wife bought it. That was a reasonable phone at the time, and for the price excellent value for money. Sadly, she dropped it...

Even though it's a Bush, it will still most likely be way more expensive than buying the same/similar spec direct from China. The question is how much is a warranty worth?
Edit: just actually looked at the spec and it's very very good indeed so maybe I was judging harshly. Appears to be the Archos Diamond 2 plus re-packaged? http://www.archos.com/gb/products/sm...lus/index.html The 20.7mp camera looks to be the superb Sony Exmoor I have in my Meizu MX4 Pro so no complaints there. The MTK processor (no NFC) is a bit of a bummer though. |

Bush as a brand has gone downhill a lot in the last few years. Just like Goodmans used to be very good at one time. Think both brands are now owned by the same company.
Alba is another cheap brand that's gone downhill in the last few year. Philips although still good is now a hit or a miss depending on what you are buying Phone in the link that the op posted looks ok but I would now tend to try and aviod cheaper brands like Bush, Goodmans and Alba and for some things Philips as well.

Bush, Alba and Goodmans haven't been brands in any meaningful sense for years. ...
Sainsbury's is about to complete the purchase of Home Retail Group, so I guess we may well see Bush and Alba branded stuff on sale in their supermarkets too. |

That's another odd brand - I remember them being seen as a premium German brand in the 80's (my Dad's swanky BMW at the time had a Blaupunkt audio system), but now they just seem to churn out cheap bluetooth speakers. |

Blaupunkt are just another brand name like Bush and Alba but they did produce quality gear back in the 80's and early 90's. Alas no more, it's any old rebranded stuff now.
