T-Mobile UK is now taking orders for the popular Samsung Galaxy S Android phone, with the new handset coming in on some rather top-heavy price plans. The network suggests you pay £35 per month for a “free” Galaxy S on a 24-month contract – which would give you 1200 minutes and “unlimited” internet were you to take it on.
We’ll pass on that one for the moment, nice as the Galaxy S is.
There’s an absolutely mad list of alternative T-Mo tariffs with a huge range of differing upfront fees, if you want to get that monthly cost down a little…
Check out the full range of tariffs here. If you fancy only paying £10 a month you can – but that’ll come with a huge £305 upfront fee for the phone and you’ll be on a 24-month tariff.
Horses for courses and all that. Don’t judge people on their tariff choices.
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.

/ July 8, 2010I’m thinking that buying a Nexus in one go is the best move. If only some sort of global crisis would happen to bring the £/$ exchange rate back to where it was a few years ago…
