Which reasonably priced smartphone could replace my old Nokia Lumia?

Jim doesn't need a high-end mobile, but would like something he can rely on at a decent price

My Nokia Lumia 820 smartphone is approaching obsolescence after six years' use. Apart from that, I used a second-hand iPhone for a week before it failed, but I have never used an Android phone. I am clearly not someone who places a premium on having the latest phone, but I would like something I can rely on. I don't use phones for music on the go - I still use iPods - and I very rarely watch videos on them: I use my laptop for that. I have a sim-only contract and the idea of spending 700 or so on a phone doesn't really apply to my wants, needs or financial reality. Jim

Every Windows smartphone user should be thinking about this topic, because Microsoft will stop supporting the platform roughly a month from today, on 10 December 2019. Obviously, this won't be as traumatic for as many people as the end of Windows 7 support on 14 January 2020, but it does mark the end of an era. And the end of an error.
