So you want a phone, but you want it cheap. Of course! Android to the rescue! The following is a list of cheap and skanky phones that will get you a fairly stupid smart phone for dirt cheap - make sure you look for specials as these are reduced most weeks - who in their right mind would spend close to a $100 for any of these? You will be able to run 1 or 2 apps at once at best but if you want a dumbphone these will work swimmingly too - just disable everything smart from Bluetooth to Location to data and battery life will last roughly a week.
Telstra Rush - Comes in kinky red, frequently on special $29 at Coles. Seems to be EOL. Made by ZTE and comes with 512MB RAM and a poky tired dual core. KitKat.
Telstra Tempo - Such wit with models names! Also $29 special at Coles. Is definitely an older model but is still being sold. Same 512MB RAM and a dual core that is just as tired. KitKat.
Telstra Smart Plus - Genius! It is smart! And Plus! $49 at Telstra, was $24.50 recently, not seen (yet) at Coles. Rebadged Tempo more or less but with less colour choice (sad face) but a slightly lower SAR rating. And hear that echo - dual core + 512MB RAM. KitKat.
Telstra Pixi - Seems to be similar to Optus' Pixi Onetouch, hovers around $50. Just as skanky as the others although it may come with 1GB RAM. Rather hard to find. Seems to be KitKat.
Optus Onetouch Pixi 3 - PIXI! At $49, frequently reduced to under $30. Same 512MB/dual core combo as the rest. Don't particularly like Alcatel, last Pixi I had had battery issues.
Optus Samsung Galaxy Young 2 - A ridiculous $79, but can rarely be found at around $40. Single core and 512MB RAM and KitKat. It is a "name" brand though.
Vodafone Smart Mini - TeeHee, it isn't that smart. Specs as above and running KitKat. Even compared to other skanky phones, seemed rather sluggish.
For around $50 you too can be ultra modern! If you see any more skank add it to the list. Now I really feel like KitKats. Hmmmmmmmmm.
Samsung Galaxy Young 2 is single core
