For £100 i'd look at the ZTE Blade aka Orange San Francisco - get it unlocked for $3, flash the Modaco ROM to it and you've got a decent Android phone that is a far amount better than the HTC Wildfire.

He did ask for a £100 phone :rolleyes:

Thread title is best smart phone that's not an iphone :rolleyes:

Which the E63 certainly isn't, he also then goes on to talk about 18 month contracts etc :rolleyes:

It did have GPS, It comes with Nokia Maps on it.

Also has WiFi!


I have one of these for my business. Kept umm'ing and arr'ing over this phone and a Blackberry something-or-other, I decided after trying out both phones I liked this one better.

It's also pretty thin and lightweight too, and unlike Nokias of old it doesn't reboot itself on a daily basis! :thumbs:

I like using it when I'm out on site because I can use the WiFi to check my email on it and the screen is pretty big for what it is too!

well if you want payt

htc wildfire is your best bet

or pick up a second hand htc android from ebay or something

can get the htc hero for around £100, really good phone for the price

or if you want a contract the htc desire HD is out this week or next

Think it has GPS as well can't remember.

You won't get the best non smart phone for that but try to get a Wildfire.

Right due an upgrade and looking at new phones

have 2 options

1. get an upgrade for 18 months now

2. wait till feburary and change provider to tesco and get a better deal through my other half probably with an i phone


phone i have just now is pretty fucked tbh


Is there any good smart phones that can be bought for £100 ish and could get a sim only contract?
