Need cheap android for 2 months!

LM101 · 2 May 2011 at 18:03

Hey everyone,
my phone has died and with two months left on my contract until i can upgrade so i need a cheap android phone to last me until the upgrade.
I need a smartphone so i can use spotify on it.
Ive been looking on the bay but there is so many so if any people could recommend one for me to search which i might pick up for the 50 quid mark would be great. It can be crap as long as it lasts 2 months

Thanks.

Orange San Francisco.

I dont own one but I'm thinking a San Francisco would be attainable (second hand) for that kind of money and I'm pretty sure its the best in it's price range.

The san francisco was actually the last phone i had

Zte racer, should be cheap.

T-Mobile Pulse. Unlike a number of handsets around this price this has a capacitive screen, and had a large following for modding, so finding a decent rom shouldnt be too difficult either

Due to theft of them being common and IMEI blacklisting issues. I still think we should be allowed though

You can easily check imeis ive found out, after my ebay purchase went wrong

Tmobile have a no to ring and you just enter the imei, i now know for next time lol, as im still waiting for my dispute to go through.

if your contract is due in 2months, why not just upgrade early? how much more is 2 months worth of contract than the £50 you're willing to spend on a phone?
