Title: Phone which can use Blockchain.info (app)
Post by: willids on May 15, 2014, 12:53:05 PM
Anyone in the UK got blockchain working on their phone's, if so what phone is best as I know it has been removed for iphones (although it can still be downloaded).

Thanks

You want to buy one? Just get an android device or a jail broken iPhone (but I'd recommend staying away from iPhones if you can).

Hmm, is that the latest version? Have you tried contacting blockchain's customer support to see which version might work?

Mine still works on my iPhone 3s as I downloaded it well before they took it down, but I won't be going back to Apple once this phone breaks.

Just been told (by HTC) the latest version is for 2.3 not 2.2 and that is why it will not work on my phone so I need to get another phone.

Looking at getting HTC and they seem ok.

The new HTC M8 looks great, but is very pricey, especially for me when I don't want or need a contract phone. I might look into going for a cheaper non-branded smartphone and possibly installing Linux on it. There seems to be some pretty decent looking ones for around £150.

All I need a phone to do is run the Blockchain App and a couple of other apps and make calls, not bothered about much else.

Just scanning ebay now see what I can pickup

What budget you looking at? There's a recent article here for phones under £200: http://tech.uk.msn.com/mobiles/best-budget-smartphones-under-200-quid
