The online arm of Carphone Warehouse has set up an entire “Android Sale” sub-section of its web site, where some relatively decent Android phone deals are hiding. Like, for example, getting the original Super AMOLED Nexus S on a £25 monthly contract, or the excellent HTC Desire S on a £18.50 tariff.
Have a look. See if anything takes your fancy. There will be no pressure sales techniques from us. If you don’t like anything, feel free to leave.
An INQ Cloud Touch for £119 plus a top-up isn’t bad, either, if you need a cheap PAYG spare or replacement. Check all the CPW Android deals out here.
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.
