Can i get anything decent for this price, PAYG ?
I've seen the San Francisco but build quality is meant to be poor, as is the camera. Last thing i want to do is drop it and see it turn into dust.
Secondly is the Wildfire but that doesn't have as nice screen but perhaps built better.
Any other i should be aware of? I'd prefer android as this whole open-source thing has got me interested and i like how updates are released (regularly?) for the majority of phones.
Cheers guys!

for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
I almost bought a Desire on O2: £20 x 18mths not sure whether it is still available.
Then after lots of research, etc I bought a San Fran this morning for £78.99 and will PAC my SIM to giffgaff
Will wait for dual core smarphones to come out Q1 or Q2 2011.
From what I 've read this phone at this price is a steal.
HTH
If you want to just give it a try, I paid about £100 for my LG GT540. Touchscreen isn't great (it's the cheaper of resistive and the other one) and it's low res, but build quality is good - dropped it several times and no damage whatsoever. It's not great - slow and all the rest of it, but for a budget android I'm pretty happy.
Will of course upgrade to HTC once I have a bit more money.

Because of this I wouldn't spend a lot on a Android phone (hence getting a san fran), but having a cheap phone on payg I am happy to use custom ROMS. One thing to bare in mind is that you'll need a data and calls package, so going contract over 18 months, can cost a similar amount to PAYG. The giffgaff sims are worth a look for payg, but are obviously useless if you cant get usable reception.
Do you reckon looking over some contracts would be better then? In terms of both the phone i could possibly get as well as calls/text/data over cost ?

just bag the orange one it will last you fine and can be unlocked for free via the modaco sticky in the blade forum.
