    The cheapest I can see that wildfire is 229. An excellent phone but considering there are androids for 99 quid a bit over the budget maybe?
    I think when its stocked by the phone companies that the phone will be free with mthly tarifs in the £10-£15mth region which I think the OP was looking at

    I saw that HTC are bringing out a new budget phone in the next month or so wildfire (http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-phone/htc-wildfire ), might be worth having a look into this one

    Thanks - have just seen the wildfire is already available via mobiles.co.uk

    Deals not as good as the Pulse yet, but this maybe a better phone?

    £15 pm for 24 months - 100 mins; 500 texts; unlimited internet + £29.99 for the phone.

    Wow, just rang T-Mobile re the Pulse and was offered 100 mins, unlimited text boost, unlimited internet, free Pulse phone, free Co Pilot sat nav app and accessory kit; 24 months @ £7.50 per month.

    Bizarelly it depends which team you speak to as to which deal you may get offered. Another team is apparently offereing an additional boost (so you could get unlimited texts, landline calls and internet for £10 pm).

    Yes, really good. I ended up getting a second phone as well as one of my families contracts was up for renewal soon.

    Got the Samsung Galaxy Portal on 18 months 100 mins, unlimited text and internet for £15 pm. They originally offered it for £20 pm.

    Could have got for £13.89 pm via buy mobile phone, but this involved the dreaded cashback redemptions; for a £1 or so a month more it seemed a better option.

    Got my Pulse - great phone - and loving the Android apps - especially Drop and Trap two great games to pass a few minutes. Browsing is really quick as well
