Looking for a budget android phone

fireice

I have been looking at the htc wildfire but i'm concerned that the screen resolution will be a problem because even the g1 had a higher screen resolution.

Also, after looking at this post, is it possible to haggle for the desire at £20 per month?

Which phone should i get?, i'm looking to spend £15 to £20 per month with internet allowance over 12/18 months?

as an upgrade customer in april/may three network had initially offered the desire to me for 15£ a month for 18m contract plus 150£ for phone for 500mins xnet plus 300mins 3-3 calls, 1gb internet. so yes 20£ is achievable. i took a plan with higher mins for a higher amount.

you could look at the samsung galaxy s too which has better hardware but has its flaws too. this probably might be easier to get and might be cheaper too.

I got the Desire for £167 + £10/month for 100 text, 100 mins, unlim land line, unlim internet + tethering when it came out in April.

One of my family now wants the same phone but this offers no longer seems available. If you do spot a good offer for the Desire (ie total cost over 24 months <£500) please post it.

T-mobile have an Android PAYG phone at £99 at the moment... (+£10 topup) if budget's the key thing for you. You get 6 months free internet too. You'll have to charge the phone daily though - the battery life is its worst aspect!

And the LG Optimus is currently a similar price at cpw.

You get 6 months free internet. What I do with it is tether and download avi files.

Though you also have the mandatory £10 topup.

True, although that £10 seems to last a long time if you don't make a lot of calls - texts on mine seem to be free.

I got one on July 1st (they were £99.99 then), topped up £10 and I still have £7 odd left plus free texts and free internet.

You can get a Desire for £20 a month with an upfront payemnt of £80. When I got mine ti was £60 upfront and £20 a month for 18 months.

I don't think the screen resolution ont he Wildfire would be too much of an issue though. PC Pro gave it an excellent write up this month.

Have you considered the Legend as well?
