If you are looking for a cheap value for money smartphone, I can recommend a motorola moto g. I bought one a couple of months ago for £90 - they were being discounted as a newer 4g model was released.
The basic 4g version can be bought for around £130 but if you don't want 4g or the ability to put an SD card in it, you can get the older one for well under £100. There are plenty of reviews around on the net. I previously had a Sony Xperia U and this knocks spots off of it. |

By the way, if you see a deal for one that is locked to a specific provider, you can get it unlocked cheaply via E-Bay (cost me £1.60).

Samsung S3s are now about £160 SIM free so you can just put a Pay As You Go SIM in. I expect they have GPS. Also Iphone 4 are now about the same price second hand. The cost of new phones is only going up. The top spec iphone 6 is now over £600 SIM free. Ridiculous. Be careful buying phones on ebay as there are thousands of nicked ones on there that will eventually get blocked in this country.

Can't you put it in your pocket? I quite like the strava app. Mainly for cycling but it has a running option. People enter routes on their website. As you go on your run you may complete some of the segments others have completed. It then puts you in a leader board. I'm not bothered about getting to the top but it's a good way of measuring your progress.
