My beloved iPod is struggling a bit - it's already been for surgery to repair the earphone jack socket and now the battery life is starting to go as well. Sadly, Apple (in their infinite wisdom) have stopped producing the iPod classic, and there is practically nothing on the market that comes close to replacing it, but I do need a replacement. I currently have between 80-100 GB of content stored on it, but realistically I don't need that much - maybe as little as 32GB would suffice for a replacement player.
But, now my phone has decided to pack up as well - it's still OK, but part of the screen is damaged - unsurprisingly it's right in the middle i.e. the point on the screen that every website and app on Earth seems to direct you to. Anyway, I now need a new phone as well, but I don't want to 'upgrade' to a more expensive contract - I'd be quite happy with a sim-free phone that doubles up as a quality mp3 player as well.
The only other consideration is that I'd prefer Android as an operating system, but I'm not that fussy about it since I use Android on my tablet, but use Windows elsewhere. My budget is negotiable, since replacing the iPod would have been around £170, and my phone cost me £50 (second hand), £200 is a reasonable estimate.
Any tips??
