Over short distances most phones are far from great, The galaxy S2 is alright but I know some of my earlier segment times were off by upto 10 seconds (sometimes faster, sometimes slower).
The EDGE 500 was excellent for me. The Edge 200 I would presume is of similar GPS quality, they are about 120 in halfords at the minute (in store) if you have an AXA card and/or wait for one of their 15% of all cycling related weekends, you could pick it up for approx. 100euros.

I'm very very impressed with the accuracy of my Sony Xperia Tipo.

Have a look at some of my rides - http://app.strava.com/athletes/1478161

Here's a good example - http://app.strava.com/activities/51936100

Zoom all the way in to the road just to west of Wellington Bridge - it even picks up what side of the road I was on.
