Budget Android phones, ZTE Racer???

sava8

Hey

I want to get a cheapish android phone as a present for someone and wanted to know what you lot thought of the ZTE Racer (£109.99). I was thinking of the T-Mobile Pulse mini but have heard very bad reviews about it.

I am currently using a HTC Hero

thanks

Its worth the money, but it really is budget stuff and whilst it sports android, the rest is far from anything to brag about.

Messaging i found was dire, its a resistive and small screen so that will be its downfall for many.

Id be looking for the samsug tocco light, it can be had for less that the racer and is a far better phone in terms of quality and usability. But rather than a smart phone, its a good phone with a touchscreen, so no decent OS, no apps, just preinstalled widgets like music, youtube etc.

SO one a good os but rubbish phone, second no thrills os but good phone.

The Pulse mini is pretty poor, but I can't imagine the zte being any better.

They look very similar.

hmmmm, ok I can forget about the android idea then. Thing is with the Tacco Lite I don't think it even has Wi-Fi.
I know that 3 does the HTC Hero for (£159.99) which is cheap but the person I want to buy it for probably wont use the features much.

Probably just texting, talking, Wi-Fi, and play a little bit of bejeweled. Any other recommendations for a budget touch screen phone, as I don't want to buy the ZTE if its that bad.
