I'm thinking about getting a used 'droid phone to take overseas and use as an off-line language translator. I don't want to bring my real phone because I understand that tourists are targeted for theft - this might be an exaggeration to keep us on our guard, but better safe than sorry.
So I figure I could buy a decent, used, out-dated WiFi enabled phone, download my translation app and a web browser (to use in hotel WiFi hot spots) and I would then not risk losing my data if the worst happens.
I've already asked about this on this thread:

and some kind people answered my questions and it should work. (Thanks again)
Looking around for used droid phones, I found this site:
Mobile Karma | Used Cell Phones and Refurbished Electronics
that sells used phones, and I can pick up an old 'droid for around $30 - refurbished and 100% working.
I wonder if anybody has had any experience dealing with Mobile Karma, and if so, are they honest? And how did they treat you?
Thanks,
Bob
