I'm now fed up with my crappy Nokia 5800. Symbian crashes 2-3 times every month and I spend time on fixing everything. :mad:

So I want to buy an Android phone (unlocked PAYG).

HTC Wildfire has low quality screen resolution (240x320). But otherwise it ticks all boxes. Price around £150.

I fancy HTC Desire. But at £350 (Amazon) it is too costly.

Is there any other good Android mobile in between? :o
Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

    Buy an Orange San Francisco and get it unlocked. RRP is £99, unlocking is straight forward.

    Motorola Defy could be an option, it is also dust and water proof http://www.trustedreviews.com/mobile-phones/review/2010/12/16/Motorola-Defy/p1

    The Wildfire S will plug the gap between Wildfire and Desire.

    It has 480x320 resolution and Android 2.3.

    Soon to be launched in UK market. Don't know about price but it is available £150-£175, it should be a hit.
