Hi all

I'm looking for a reasonable 4 inch or smaller Android phone for my wife to run with. She's got an iPhone 6+ which is impractical for running so if someone has something suitable I'm happy to pay around the $100 mark.

Hey, have you listed a price, location and how much shipping would be to other parts of New Zealand? Also if you are asking for a PM make sure your Privacy settings allow your account to receive PM otherwise people can't contact you. Also note if you are selling something we ask you to offer to other members first. Links to private sales (including Trade Me posts) aren't accepted anymore and will be removed.

Got one for my teenager 3 months ago and not getting any complaints.  Strangely the touch screen stops responding when connected to the iMac at home, but not bothered investigating this.

Ok sounds like it might be a winner. For $35 I don't really care if it's a throwaway to be honest

So it turns out the smart 4 fun doesn't have a gps, which I only found out once I bought one. Bugger. Oh well on trademe it goes for $25 with $20 of Vodafone credit.

Anyway back to the drawing board. Any other suggestions?

ake sure the ones there have GPS - sometimes pricespy's specifications are a bit off, but they're a good starting point.

Vodafone Smart prime. $149. It's the answer to almost every question at the moment. Yes, it's cheap, and it also happens to be rather bloody good. I guess it's 5" so doesn't fit the 4" requirement, but it is very light too. :)
