I don't think that this is a model generally offered in the uk so you may not get many user experiences.

From the spec http://www.phonearena.com/phones/ARCHOS-45-Titanium_id8180 it appears that it do what you want. It say that it has wifi hotspot capability so you can use it to connect other devices to the internet.

If you buy it on line you can always return it if it doesn't do what you want. It doesn't have to be faulty, but you will probably have to pay the return postage.

Not a wizard but I've seen a few. An Android phone is an Android phone. They might vary in size and some may be more plasticy than others but basically they all do the same.

Size is the big consideration. Too small and the keyboard is too small. Too big, is that possible, and it might not fit your pocket.

Archos has been around a long time, not a rubbish brand though I've not seen one of their phones. I have a quite old Archos MP3 player, it's beautifully made.

There seem to be 4 sizes of Archos phone. I'd go for the biggest. It has GPS so can double as a SatNav, so the bigger the better.

Hi Mel,
I read the spec and it is very similar to my Galaxy III. I swapped from an iPhone and the quality is great. Archos are a very well established brand name. Go for it.

Are you sure? I thought the distance selling regulations were brought in as a result of an EU Regulation.

Have a look at the Motorola Moto G............look for some reviews then get one from tesco ( £99) when they have them back in stock they are selling out like hot cakes.... Costs even less if you have any tesco vouchers to redeem.........got one recently and its fantastic value.
