    Budget Android Phone?

    I'm looking for a budget android phone not exceeding £150.

    I found the huawei ascend g300 to be fantastic for its price.

    Any recommendations for me?

    HTC Wildfire S

    I paid £220 for it a year ago and thought it was a cracking deal then.

    Now you can get it for £140

    Probably the best android device I've used. Not for being good at anything but for not 'sucking' at anything either.

    Battery is good, screen ok, OS good, etc etc. It's 1.6 diesel focus of the phone world.

    I own a G300 and it's excellent. Highly recommended, especially now the ICS update it out.

    Another vote for the Wildfire S. Bought this for a family member last Christmas as they're overjoyed with it

    Re: Budget Android Phone?

    The ZTE San Francisco and San Francisco II are excellent budget smart phones, and well worth considering. Best screen size available for the money and my wife's one runs very well. Saved our bacon the other day when we got off the train in the back end of nowhere only to find we'd left the printed map behind...

    g300 is a great phone for 80 quid at tesco then 5 quid more if its not already unlocked. Put an ICS of JB rom on it and its fantastic. the only down is the screen in sun.
    But now...
    You can get the 330d (dual core dual sim version of the above) for 110 plus depending on how luck you are customs vat etc. Soon to be out in the UK
    Also, talk of a 4.5 incher dual core dual sim with jellybear JAIYU G3, not so exe but from China.

    Mind you... for not lot more the oppo find 5 looks interesting, actually looks like the best mobile on the planet, even te new iphone 5 wont be as good.
    According to tillaz (at modaco) this site is trusted. fastcardtech dot com (newbie).
    Make sure you report back
