Android Phone

Big screen == all those other shiny features.

If you want a big screen without features, get a media player -- like the Archos tablets. But they can't make calls -- they're just Android.

If you want to make calls, and you want a big screen, you won't get anything for ~?150. Maybe a secondhand first-generation HTC thingee.

Biggest and cheapest screen on a phone would be ZTE Skate at 4.3inch for 220euro

I specifically want a handset... a tablet the same size as a handset wouldn't be very useful

Seems a good buy?

P.S. Don't bid on it!

I have a htc wildfire, its pretty good but the processor isnt amazing it would probably be better to get the new wildfire.

[Daekesh]

The wildfire s?  That's 50% more

the ebay thing seems like a very good offer if he used a protective thingie over the screen so it isnt overly scratched and the battery is in good shape. You could even replace the battery at that price and still make a good deal.

I rarely see good deals on ebay, when it comes to phones. They have well-known values, so it's rare to see something go below its market value.

In other words, check to see similar auctions that have finished recently -- as it will almost certainly end up around that price.

[Daekesh]

Yeah - I'm not going to bid on it until it's close to running out.  That's tommorow morning!

Like anything even come close to using a last-generations full CPU power, let alone the new Dual-Core ones, only thing i can see using alot of CPU would SEs Xperia Play playing games.

The Desire is a very nice phone! I know cause ive ahd one for over a year, and it has an extremely good grp of developers for Custom ROMS/Hacks on XDA, and they are still going strong eventho its not even close to a new phone.

There's quite a few desire hd's on there aswell.  For similar prices, too.

[Gaeios(Graxlos)]

The HD is very nice and has android 2.3, the normal desire doesnt.

Imo the HD is too big for pockets though.

[Rash]

I have the HD and don't think its too big at all, fits in all my pockets!

quick note: not all desire HD's come with 2.3 yet, still depends on your service provider if you get it or not
