The Droid I'm looking for...

Hey guys, I've grown a bit tired of my iphone 4s, and was looking to get back in to the android market, back when I had an Android was the days of the HTC Hero and the Galaxy s1 (had both), then I jumped to iphone.

Things have changed quite a bit over the past 2 years or so, and I was wondering what you all would suggest as a good android performer in the £200 price range.

Your help is appreciated

Seconded. To be honest, even if your budget were £170, I'd still suggest spending the extra £70 and getting the Nexus 4. There aren't really any phones worth owning that cost less in the Android world unless we're talking proper budget handsets.

Maybe he wanted a much better camera, more storage and preferred SAMOLED. Oh and better quality music playback too.

£285 new on Amazon. Here's hoping he didn't pay more than that.

Given the choice I'd have opted for the s3 too, especially with the price for new Kona mentioned a mint 2nd hand i9305 would be the ideal in that price bracket.
