Thread: Wanna try out Android ?

For those who have the cash $159 will buy you a Huawei Ideos Android phone unlocked and with 2.2 the stock OS. Bargain. Crazy Johns and Aust Post have em. DSE too not sure on the cost there though.

The spec are:
Android 2.2
2.8-inch capacitive touchscreen
3.2-megapixel camera
Qualcomm 528 Mhz SoC
FM Radio
256 MB RAM
GPS
Wireless 802.11 b/g/n
HSDPA with up to 7.2Mbps

It will also come with a 4GB micro SDHC card (expandable to 32 GB), and apparently Crazy John will give you 300 MB data with every recharge.

Why bother with that little device, cheaper to just get a htc desire.

no its not.

Chad, you've not only produced an amazing bit of advice... but you've also made me realise that my concept of "cheaper" was far from accurate.

To think all this time I could have had a Bugatti Veyron instead of my '85 Toyota Corona.

Buying a phone is the cheapest part, so its not a factor in any of my buying decisions. Instead what is important to me is the use of the Optus or Telstra network. This includes the plan's they have on offer. To me, the phone cost is irrelevant, and doing it alone is far more expensive.

Some of us only have the option of buying phones outright for whatever reason.
I might even consider a dodgy brothers phone for a while for a crack.

If you want to try it I think the title says... So the only cost is the unlocked phone. You can then put your own SIM in and try it out.

Except it's locked when you buy it. $100 to unlock.
