Looking for a pay and go Android phone for under £300, looking to upgrade from my iPhone 3G to something with more power and freedom to customize. What's the best phone for this price range?
It needs to have the latest Android software updates available - I don't want to get left behind

The HTC Desire is also on there for £329. HTC has also just confirmed that the Desire will get the Android 2.3.
You may find better prices elsewhere.

Quoted for truth..
Very good phone, but if there is ever any issues with apps or software, the Samsung phones seem to get an overly large amount of attention/warnings/workarounds. I think there is also issues with slow OS updates - but I might be wrong.
Yeah I'm now torn between that and the Desire HD, but O2 don't do that one, damn them - only the original.
Showing as £399
Must have changed - fairly sure I sorted the phones in price order and the Nexus was above (cheaper) than the Desire,
Where is the unlocked version? all I see is network locked phones.
I think the HD suffers from less than stellar battery life... relatively speaking.
If you do want to get it, get it from CPW. I am on o2 and always upgrade via CPW as you get unbranded phones, This means you don't have to wait for o2 to monkey with OS updates prior to releasing them to your phone.
The handsets from Phones4U are unlocked, no matter what network you buy it on.
Good advice.
I was going to wait and get the Desire but I quite like the look of the new Wilddfire S which has solved its poor screen issue.
The smaller size and better battery life of the Wildfire S over the Desire is what appeals to me.
Well let's face it, with Android there's ALWAYS going to be something new coming out! Eventually, you have to bite the bullet and buy one. I'm waiting for things to slow down a little before replacing my Hero because I want to make sure whatever I get will be able to upgrade to the newest version of Android at that time.
