Wow, this super-small, super-affordable Android phone has been hinted at through online “leaks” for quite some time – now today Vodafone has lifted the lid off its 845 in official VIDEO FORM.
So here it is, the Vodafone 845, the first Vodafone-branded Android phone, running Android 2.1 with the bonus (ahem) of also coming pre-loaded with Vodafone’s 360 suite of mobile applications and tools. Take it away, Andy.
The 845 looks rather small with only a 2.8″ screen and we’re not “feeling” much love for that clunky bezel, but if it’s attached to super-cheap tariffs it ought to do the business. You can already pick up an HTC Legend for a ridiculously cheap £20 a month through Vodafone – so how low will the 845 be? Surely it’s pay-as-you-go bound?
The Vodafone 845 is coming soon – but Andy neglected to give us a specific launch date. Bad Andy.
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.

/ April 28, 2010I may be wrong but it seems it’s got a resistive screen. Have a look at 1:10.

/ April 28, 2010So it’s basically the same software as the T-Mobile Pulse Mini but in a different case.

/ April 28, 2010Hey PK, I thought that as well – he really seems to be PRESSING VERY HARD to make sure it’s registering his touches.
