Default X-Post - Suitable phone for long term travel to Africa/India

for something like £20?


Read in (I think) the Register that there is a 12% import duty on all
smart phones so Samsung and Apple are planning to build factories in
country.

Further discussions required.


Especially as India could suddenly decide to put a 20% duty on all the
major components used in a Smartphone, so you'd end up having to move
your entire supply chain (fabs and all) to India.
