Managed to smash my current mobile screen and am toying with getting an android phone. But a cheap one without a package.
Any ideas?

Thanks for all you replies and also this came out today: http://www.reghardware.com/2012/08/22/ten_low_end_android_phones/ so now I have too much choice....

I'll be able to give a hands on review of the Huawei Ascend G300 later - the one I got on Ebay for a friend arrived and he'll be up later to pick it up. Scores the highest on that website, and frankly the spec is not far off my HTC HD7 which costs a lot more and runs Winblows Phone 7 - which by the way is a pile of Castlemaine XXXX and I recommend you never touch it. Bad mistake, I should have waited and got the Desire HD when it became available on O2. WP7 is a half-hearted attempt by M$ to cash in on the boom in smartphones and they couldn't be bothered to fix hardly any of the faults reported at launch, in fact the only one they did fix is you can now have custom ringtones - in a roundabout way at least. If you're interested http://www.kaotic.co.uk/wp7-wishlist.html for what I consider to be the major flaws - by no means all of them.

Roll on February when I get my free upgrade!
