Online retailer Carphone Warehouse is about to stage a NEARLY EVERYTHING MUST GO sale spectacular, with some staggering discounts to be had on a few of 2010′s hottest Android phones.
You really cannot go wrong with an HTC Desire Z for £200, or a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 for £150. The sale started this morning, so it looks like we’ll all be fighting for the best deals. Here’s some of what’s on offer:
Hopefully there’ll be a decent number of all the phones in question available. Check out what’s on offer here. Thanks to reader Hecatae for the poke.
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.

/ May 26, 2011the Samsung Galaxy Tab offering looks confusing, states 3g but, features specification suggests it’s the wifi model

/ May 26, 2011Nabbed a x10. The site is down ATM.
Gary C
/ May 26, 2011I was tempted by one of those, too. Like buying an old E-Type or something.
k0zmic
/ May 26, 2011The specs are great for the price IMO. Only the RAM is less than optimum but still adequate.

/ May 26, 2011Desire Z still available, rest of handsets sold out,
JC
/ May 26, 2011Doesn’t look like there is any way to actually add it to your basket though? Any ideas or does that mean it’s sold out?
BRI
/ May 26, 2011The add to basket button was not working on firefox but I purchased via chrome.
k0zmic
/ May 26, 2011Odd, I had to use IE for it to appear.
Ant
/ May 26, 2011I had to use Safari on the Mac to get the add to basket button, as it didn’t work in Chrome. Then I chickened out. All I want is to not have to worry about storage space constantly running out on my Desire. A keyboard used to matter to me, but not any more. Argh.
JC
/ May 26, 2011Yeah I eventually decided to try IE out of desperation and for some reason it worked!

/ May 26, 2011Not enough memory on the Desire Z ?? 1.5GB it says. I use to have a Desire. That didn’t have enough, but 1.5GB is enough for those apps that won’t go on SD card. I have a DHD , and have bought one of these Zs for my wife. Surely enough room for cookery apps ??

/ May 27, 2011Just shows you the huge profits they are making at RRP.
mintvilla
/ May 27, 2011i think its more to do with clearing unsold stock, they will probaly make a loss at these prices (but have already made a profit from the ones theyve managed to sell offsetting the loss there making)

/ May 27, 2011I ordered a HTC Desire at 12:40 yesterday. They cancelled the order claiming out of stock last night. Didn’t even apologize. Poor effort from Carphone Warehouse.
JC
/ May 27, 2011Odd, it’s still showing as in stock… I ordered at 17:30 and had neither a cancellation nor an approval yet. Assuming you mean 12:40 in the afternoon though, looks like I’ll be sticking with my Wildfire!
M
/ May 27, 2011Any word yet? Mine is pending as well. Got the confirmation of order but not of shipment.
JC
/ May 27, 2011Mine’s apparently just been dispatched so needn’t have given up hope! They’re still showing as in stock although the picture is missing from the clearance page (not even showing as sold out anymore, just gone).
M
/ May 31, 2011Any other news? I haven’t had any word from them yet…
M
/ May 27, 2011So they gave you the shipment confirmation? Interesting…
