Getting really into DH mountain biking and scared of smashing up my £500 phone,

Looking to buy a cheap one to not worry so much about so i can send it a little bit more ;D

I'll put my sim in the phone incase i need to make a call and obviously for the 4G to make strava work

so what is the cheapest phone i can buy that will run strava and let me hold and listen to 100 songs or so.

Many thanks guys

Probably one of these cheap chinese Android phones you can buy on Amazon. Plenty of those will do the job.

just to add to this, you don't need mobile data for strava. It will plot your ride using gps and you can use wifi to upload when you're done.

I would avoid a chinese handset as they tend to use the fairly poor mediatek chipset. Get the cheapest samsung or an iphone 5 etc.
