Vodafone launching own-brand budget Android phone?

Bit of a wild rumour this one, but it would go some way toward explaining why Vodafone UK is SHAMEFULLY only offering the HTC Tattoo as its sole Android phone option at the moment – it will soon launch it’s own affordable Android handset under the Vodafone name.

Mobile blog Unwired View claims the new “Vodafone 845″ Android phone will cost around 145 euros, although there’s obviously a catch – it’ll only feature a 2.8″ screen, placing it down at the “entry level” end of things.

However, Unwired’s source says it’ll pack Android 2.1 – which will make 145 euros seem like a pretty good deal and certainly a much better offering than the equally affordable T-Mobile Pulse, a phone currently left out in the firmware-update wilderness.
