I'm glad it's an excellent music and Audible player as I would find that a useful bonus! 4-4.5" is about the maximum size I would consider in a phone for myriad reasons. $10 is incredibly cheap though! I liked the look of the 520 but it would cost me £60 refurbished at cheapest. The 630 is looking like the winner at the moment as the price the midpoint between the other two options and I'd be willing to sacrifice 4G (I almost never have that strong a 4G signal anyway). The 530 looks nice, but has smaller storage and I've seen a couple of reviews point out that it feels "cheaper" compared to the 630.

The reason it was $10 was because Amazon had a sale on it for $20 and I had a free $10 credit from them. I almost didn't get it, but I'm very glad I did. I placed a 64GB mSD card in mine. I plan to load it up with audiobooks, music, and a few cartoons.

On my 520, I deleted a bunch of the pre-loaded apps and placed most of the others onto my mSD card. By doing that, I have about 4.5GB of internal storage available. I strongly recommend getting a mSD card. The phones you're considering will take up to 128GB. That's quite a bit of storage, not to mention expensive. Amazon frequently has 32GB and 64GB mSD cards on sale.

Personally, I don't consider any device with less than 8GB of storage; and then it must have a mSD card at that level. If there isn't a mSD card, then I won't get anything less than 16-32GB depending on its use.
