O2 are best for pay and go users, I'm sure you can put on £10 a month and either get unlimited O2 texts or unlimited data usage (don't quote me on it )

Best bet is to go on their websites and have a look what they offer.

The HTC Wildfire is an excellent phone - not quite as good as the Desire, but it is much cheaper. The only main gripe I have with it is that the battery life is very poor (especially when compared to my work BB Torch). You really must charge it every night and then often need to top it up during the day if you have been using it heavily.

T-Mobile give you the most data for android handsets - 3GB. Virgin gives 1GB and the rest all pretty much give 500MB on their basic packages, Orange and maybe O2 have a couple at 750MB.

(Note all the above describe their internet as unlimited but have fair usage policies with the above limit).

I'm on giffgaff right now. They have no official capping you are correct. But the speeds I get from them all the time are so dire that I would recommend going with someone else.

This is in spite of me usually having full 3.5G signal.

Also, obviously giffgaff are sim provider only so can't get any handset subsidies from them which is relevant to this thread.

e2save (carphone warhouse) do the HVGA LG GT540 at £75 which is most aspects is better than the QVGA WIldfire. (usually supplied unlocked anyway by them even when choosing t-mobile)

Even better is the highly desired £100 WVGA San Francisco(average camera) which can unlocked for free in seconds.

A WVGA screen is by far the best for internet.

If you are going to recommend something and then give an affiliate link, you should make it explicitly clear that it is something you stand to gain from.

Yup, have to agree with this......the biggest thing i hate about GiffGaff. Quite a few of the people i've spoken too who have raved about giffgaff at first have later admitted they aint that good but say they are great as they earn money for everyone they introduce.
