is this a good buy?

[Guest mrrog]

I like the look of this phone and am considering it against:-

1. Nokia lumia 520, £100 + £10 top up on O2, should take giffgaff sim without unlock, and

2. Zte blade 3, £70 + £10 top up on virgin, needs £15 for unlock

Phones have very similiar specs though the nokia is wp8 and dual core

Would people recommend this acer, and does anybody know where it can be purchased in the UK, I can only find it on 'expansys' at £125, presumably unlocked?

Hi, the Glow is nice but is getting old now. I suggest you go for a Liquid E1 as its price should go down when the E2 hits the market this month.

Not looking for such a large screen, cuurently have 4.3 on my zte skate but want something 3.5 - 4.0. Do all my browsing on my nexus 7 and want something small enough for a sports armband and shorts.

Well then you should be happy with the Glow but don't expect any new ROM for it neither from Acer nor from the community. That said, it runs fine the way it is :)
