I have been looking for 2nd/spare Android handset to keep my Orange and Vodafone contacts, calendars and notes in sync now that I have moved away from Nokia and Microsoft Outlook.

I went into CPW yesterday and found that they were selling unlocked Apollo and Europa at £49.95 plus top up. Picked one up and it seems to be good value for money.

Prices on the wall may still be higher and it is cheapest buying a 3 sim, but as the Apolo are unlocked -( not 100% sure about the Europa as one CPW store says they are unlocked but the second says not ) - then you can use any sim.

If this is of any use to anyone, feel free, but do your research on reviews first. They are Android 2.1, so if you want a later version, read up how to upgrade and also the pitfalls.

Helps if I could spell Samsung too!
