Is the San Fran now outdated if i pick one of those up?
Any ideas? Needs to be on o2 or unlocked.

Anyone got anything in VGC?

Orange Monte Carlo, last I looked.

Or, there must be plenty of 2H deals to be had.

+1 for the monte carlo, bit harder to unlock than the san fran was but i still managed to do it in less than half an hour. Camera is still a bit rubbish but better imo than the san fran one. If you get one buy a case for it cos the plastic is shiny and there is no grip at all. I found a 's-line' one on ebay for less than £3 delivered thats excellent.

£120 for a 4.3" screen android handset which can be unlocked for free and has several custom roms available is cheap.

You can get mobile phones for a tenner, but not android ones, which the op asked about.

It's a hundred and twenty quid. Sure, it's "not cheap" if you're comparing it to the price of a box of tissues, but for a fully featured smartphone it's a steal.

Far as I can tell, the MC and the SF2 / Vivacity are the same spec, only the MC has a bigger screen and a forward-facing camera (and has a CM9 (Ice Cream Sandwich) ROM available for it).

Three will unlock their PAYG phones for a fee. They are selling the Samsung Galaxy Mini for £70, in black or very posh looking white. I have one wrapped for my daughter for Christmas.

Got an HTC Desire on Flea-Bay at the minute, 99p at the mo - I'm guessing it will go for somewhere around the £90 mark.
