What's the best sub £200 smartphone? Want an android that's decent for music and web browsing. Can I get this for less than £200 or will I have to spend a bit more?

Orange Monte Carlo - £115 currently

i managed to get it for £90, 2 months back when it was on sale at argos (no longer available).

unlock it for free
root it for free
put CM7 on it for free

all the above will take less than 30 minutes.

good to go.

HTC Evo 3D is £207 unlocked at Asda Direct, about as good as you'll get for the price.

Nokia Lumia 710, It's £150 from Vodafone. That's if you fancy a Windows Phone.

Same here, Got mine from Argos & have been well happy with it especially as it all costs under a hundred quid. :cool:

HTC EVO 3d looks good but they don't actualy have any in stock

This item is available for ordering however it will not be despatched until stock is received in our warehouse

So if I order one now could I be waiting potentialy a long time before it arrives?

While it's probably the best sub £100 smartphone it's not one I'd recommend in a best sub £200 smartphone thread when you have phones like the Nexus S, Evo 3D and Xperia Arc available for this price. I managed to get my dad a brand new HTC Sensation for £200 from someone who didn't want the upgrade so there are other bargains around too. Psycho Sonny seems to bring up his flippin Monte Carlo in every thread possible though!
