What last year's models have gone cheap?

The Alpha Gamer · 14-07-2012, 23:40

Last November I managed to get a Sony Ericson Xperia Play for just £200 sim free, but now I reckon it's time for an upgrade. What I'm after is something better than the Xperia Play for less than £200, don't mind it being second hand. Must be Android and I'm against Samsung's but I might take one if there's nothing else better.

Anyone got any ideas?

Htc sensation xe for £237 on adds/Amazon. Or xperia arc s for under £200.

Second hand you'll be able to get a lot of phones much cheaper.

HTC Evo 3d. Not sure if this is from last year or not but it was £199 sim free in my local Asda.

Last year's model was just a figure of speech, as long as it's better than the Xperia Play and cheaper than £200, I'll consider it

How about a Alcatel One Touch Ultra 995?

Have a look at Bargain mobile deals. It will find the cheapest deals around for a particular handset.

The cheapest deal usually the telco with the crappiest connections ie T-mobile – what’s a signal.

"crappiest signal" is very subjective.

Maybe I should have been clearer, I don't want a new contract or anything, just a new phone

ebay, from somebody who is close enough to collect in person
