Best smartphone for £100

rwalton159

I'd like to purchase a smartphone and would appreciate some recommendations on the best one available for £100.

I'm with T-Mobile so unlock costs would be useful, if the phone is not unlocked at the outset.

Thank you

Orange San Francisco is about that money, Android 2.1, 3.5" Capacitive touch screen.
99p Unlock Solution available.

Search the forums as there has been a discussion about it recently.

I was hoping for some recommendations.

I am sure this thread would be useful to others.

to be fair it looks like you had a reccomendation within an hour of your post, I think this seems to be the smartphone to get at this price point

San Francisco is the only choice at this price point for me now.

You can get the T-mobile Pulse Mini for £79.99. Only problem with this is it resistive touch screen, which means it works better with a stylus than it does with fingers.

if I may re-iterate. The Orange Sanfrancisco IS the best option for under £100 at the time of writing. 3's Zte Racer, Vodaphones sub £100 (845?), and Tmobile's Pulse and Pulse mini don't even come close to the quality of this baby.

it literally is the best thing since Jesus Christ came and sliced bread

Buy It! Besides it's one of the cheapest to unlock. can't go wrong for 99p on ebay can you?

hi all,
i am to looking for a cheapo smartphone but will go to £150.
i have just signed from a 30 day rolling with TMOB to there 12 month 600mins 500 text 3gb data and unlimited landline at a bargain £7.50 per month.
i have been looking at the san francisco as an option.
you can buy this from orange for around £100.
what i dont understand is why they are on ebay for upto £150, ok they have been unlocked and rooted, but why so much difference.

People trying to make fast buck off people who don't check the actual prices.

Get the San Francisco - it's excellent and works perfectly on T-Mobile after being unlocked.
