Andriod cheapish phone

shadowcreaper · 20 Nov 2012 at 16:32

So looking for a cheapish andriod phone, upto 180 to spend.

have looked into the Hawuii phones but there quite a lot of them and unsure which one to go for.

Any suggestions?

plan on getting unlocked phone by the way.

Does it have to be new? You could get a mint SH Sensation off eBay and have money left over.

If you want to cheap cheap you could get that Alcatel that's £40 lol

HTC Desire C

£160 and already unlocked

Do not buy a Desire C. I repeat, DO NOT BY A DESIRE C.

Awful, awful phone.

The Ascend G300 is better and cheaper.

Great option IMO - Getting Official JellyBean soon, great screen, camera, sd slot, big ROM community etc.

lol funny as thats my current phone, i like it a lot though sometmes get annoying by the screen freezes on google chrome (JB i hear will fix a lot of this though)

i have looked on amazon warehouse and they all around 280 quid mark (though they fullfilled ) .

Depending on your usage needs and how much your willing to stretch that budget you could afford a Nexus4 8GB for an extra £60. Although you would need to wait another 3 weeks or so for them to come back into stock at the Google Play store.

How do you think you're going to get a better phone than an S2 for £180? You're not

Thing is I can't find a decent second hand one for the that price, ATM best price I've seen is 235...
So search goes on it seems..

+1 Nothing will top the S2 for that money - except a second hand Galaxy Nexus depending on your needs. It has a better screen and JB stock software, lesser camera and 16GB storage.

But that's your current phone o.0

Oh, you're not buying for yourself, oh I see. I thought you were trying to upgrade from an S2 with £180

e; You can buy mine for.. £200

check for phones on AVFourms Classifieds - quite a few on there. Mint s2 is worth no more than £200.
