It could be worth considering the htc one v or the sony ericsson xperia sola. They are probably two of the better Android phones (imho) for that price.0

Save yourself £134 and get the Huawei G300
You could buy the superb Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" tablet with the difference and STILL have £15 left!

= £185!

I got a nice white T mobile Vivacity. After unlocking, rooting and changing the rom, it has morphed into a beautiful ZTE crescent.:T
Cost £49. Why pay more?0 -

What do the more expensive ones have that these don't? (other than paying for brand names like Iphone).0 -

NEXUS 4 is worth £39 extra top of the range phone heavily subsidised by google yours for £239 sold out at present but be back in stock soon, £239 for a phone equal to if not better than Samsung galaxy SIII and Iphone 5 BARGAIN hence sold out in first hour of release!0

Speed, better camera, "quality", storage, better screen. Apart from that, nothing to warrant the extra cost if you are on a budget.
Look at the specs, check if you can add a storage card as well, make sure it's an Android as well.0 -
I think the Lumia 800 deserves a shout here. I think it's available for around £150. Seriously solid construction, brilliant screen and a high quality camera.
Windows phone isn't to everyone's taste but I'd take a windows phone over a budget android anyway.0 -

Nexus 4 is a marvel no mistake, an explosion of hi-tec bits crammed in it for an unbelievable price... but its over 5¼" long! I couldn't use that as my daily phone its just too bulky and wouldn't survive long, its basically a tablet, that can make calls!0 -

Is it even 'apart from that' though?
Take the budget G300..
"Speed, better camera, "quality", storage, better screen."
1GHz, 5MP camera with flash, Gorilla glass, 4Gb +sd card memory, 4" 480 x 800 screen 233 ppi pixel density
You have to go a way into the HTC range to get all that even, certainly costing a lot more.0
