Cheapest Android Phone?

Sorry, I should have said QVGA resolution. Tapping away at a screen with a res of 320x240 is a nightmare. You're much better off with an HVGA or bigger resolution phone. So Vodafone V858, LG Optimus One (my personal choice if it had to be as cheap as possible), Wildfire S, Sony Ericsson mini/mini pro (not to be confused with the X10 Mini/Mini Pro which also used an SVGA resolution) perhaps the original HTC Desire, HTC ChaCha, Samsung S5660 Gio, Samsung Galaxy Ace and I'm sure there are some more but I can't think of them at the moment. The Samsung Galaxy Y has the same QVGA resolution problem as the the Wildfire by the way.

Not that I know much about phones but the Vodafone 858 Android Smartphone ain't to shabby. My daughter has saved up for her one and she is most happy with it. She got some games and apps from the Android App Market and for a 14 year old she is happy to bits once kilo and I managed to get the wi fi working. She has Whatsapp and LiveProfile on it and I can communicate with her via LiveProfile even if she has no wi fi or airtime on the phone which is very weird.

very weird indeed, does it have a internet connection via 3G with no airtime?

Damned if I know, I will have a look when she comes home on Sunday. I will have to disconnect my wi fi at home to see if it works.
 
I got a htc wildfire that I want to sell. Got 2 very thin lines on the screen. Still works 100% . Want R900 for it. Still got the box etc...
 
Yea have to say it is quite expensive. But worth it. I use to have a Nokia E72 :). I kinda stick awhile with a phone before I upgrade.
 
If I had to pick a budget phone it would be the wildfire s. A mate has the wildfire and the s fixed the screen resolution issue.

The htc phones are solid and get firmware over the air updates so a way better experience overall.
