Cheap Smartphones: Nokia Lumia

Alternatively, you could reconsider a Nokia Lumia, which you say you found "excellent". The Nokia Lumia 520 is better than the three cheap name-brand Android models mentioned above. It has a faster dual-core processor, and a bigger (4in) screen with more than twice the resolution (480 x 800 pixels). Also, its 8GB memory can be expanded with a microSD card up to 64GB in size.

Amazon.co.uk has the Lumia 520 for £129.95, but you should be able to get one for £10-£20 less on the high street.

You don't like the Lumia's "terrible media player", but there are already some third-party alternatives. For example, you could try the free VK Player, Audio Player Free, DAAP Media Player ($1.99) or Ultimate Media Player (beta), amongst others. The old Zune software was good, so Microsoft may well improve the current player, or Nokia may add a better app.
