I'm leaving for a 1.5 week trip to Australia next Friday, and my phone does not work internationally so I will need to buy one. I'll be staying in Sydney for the duration.
Since I only need it for 1.5 weeks, I really don't want to spend a lot of money. I'll realistically only need it for Google Maps and maybe making any reservations, checking e-mail and that type of stuff, and any emergencies. I came across the BLU R1 HD for $99, but I've heard horrible things about Chinese spyware on their phones.
Anyone have any recommendations for a cheap (<$100) smartphone that will work with the Telstra/Optus networks? Thanks.
EDIT: Nevermind. My work is giving me a temporary iPhone.
