If you don’t mind suffering the psychological pain of signing up to a 24-month contract in these incredibly fast-moving times, there’s a pretty sensational deal on offer at Carphone Warehouse right now – an HTC Magic for £20 a month, including 300 minutes and unlimited texts through a Vodafone contract.
The Magic’s a great Android phone. Small, slim and light, it’s the EuroDroid handset of choice at the moment. Even though we’re starting to get a little bit fed up of the battery life. But that’s a moan with every Android phone at the moment, right?
The Vodafone “With Google” Magic has been updated to Android 1.6 already and although the chance of an upgrade to Android 2.0 or 2.1 or higher is currently looking a bit dodgy, you can’t get anything better with Android inside it for less than £20-a-month in the UK right now.
Pick up your cheap/affordable HTC Magic at Carphone Warehouse right now, if you’re thinking of getting down with the Android, that is.
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
