madbradd Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 So MTN have released an android smartphone for R499. Might be worth a look for anyone wanting to use cheap phone for strava or bigyear or any others. http://mybroadband.co.za/news/smartphones/95627-mtn-steppa-android-smartphone-for-r499.html
MrJacques Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Definitely worth a look, thx! Specs and battery life don't look too bad! Edited January 30, 2014 by Jacquers
Super Sywurm Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I would like to know how Endomondo works on the that phone.
jaaki Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I'm using a Vodafone Smart mini. Actually quite a decent phone for the price. Karakoram 1
madbradd Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Definitely worth a look, thx! Specs and battery life don't look too bad! And at that price if you lose it or break it... not the end of the world. Plus adding a bluetooth heart rate monitor could set you up well. Edited January 30, 2014 by madbradd
MrJacques Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 More info and discussion on it... http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/581313-MTN-Steppa-Android-phone-%E2%80%93-%E2%80%9Cmost-affordable-high-performance-smartphone-ever%E2%80%9D
Smit90009 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Just bought myself 2x MTN Steppa's Already downloaded Endomondo, busy with the setup now. Now I don't have to waste my battery life of the iPhone anymore :-D :-D
Cellar Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I would like to know how Endomondo works on the that phone. Um, the same way it works on any android?
Super Sywurm Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Um, the same way it works on any android? Ja I know man, but I want to know if it works properly on that cheap phone. Would it be wise to buy the phone only for cycling and to use Endomondo, or not!?
Cellar Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) Ja I know man, but I want to know if it works properly on that cheap phone. Would it be wise to buy the phone only for cycling and to use Endomondo, or not!? I've run endomondo on a old, f***** samsung pocket s5660 or something. It's slower and less ram than this phone, and it worked fine. So, yes, it would probably work like a bomb. Edited January 30, 2014 by Cellar Super Sywurm 1
doppelganger Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I have a Galaxy Pocket for sale (brand new in the box) PM me if any of you want it. *end of shameless plug*
ReCycle-D Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I never fancied taking my iPhone out on rides with me (precipitation and mugging) but i think this budget phone will be my next purchase. Heres to becoming a segment slave....
Joeboy69 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 R500pm hefty for a cycle phone. I'm using previous iPhone with a bit if prepaid data so virtually free
