Cheapest capacitive android phone?

As title really... my current phone had taken a battering (old winmo) and I'd like something to tide me over until my contract expires (~6 months).

I assume you mean SIM Free/Unlocked or PAYG? What network?

i5700 or the LG GT540 are on play for £200. You sure you want to spend that much on something to last 6 months though? I'd recommend something like the Nokia C5 or even something cheaper.

Exactly at that level it's almost worth me paying up my contract early and getting something really good for £30 per month (e.g. Desire)?. Will have to have a think.

Then it's decided, get a Desire

The Pulse is £150 but you may have to get it unlocked... Pulse mini is out too but it's not capacitive.

Pulse Mini has a resistive screen. But yeah.. cheap, easy to unlock, has 2.1

the pulse (non-mini), can now be updated to 2.1, and I picked mine up for £100 second hand, its not much more than that new! (and has been less)

Galaxy portals go on ebay for around £130, this is my temp phone until my contract is up for a desire... It's a pretty good phone all reound, when flashed to 2.1 itis much better and I think the best handset around for that kind of price.
