Best Android Phone around 250e?

LanceStorm

present for the missus, but my knowledge of android phones is next to nothing...

Ive an Iphone myself and she loves to be able to check facebook/twitter/news/angry birds, so it has to have 3G and WIFI.

Budget is 250ish, she's on meteor pay as you go, the best they seem to have on their site is - Samsung Wave 723(199e) or the HTC Wildfire(229e)

Carphone warehouse have the HTC Wildfire S(229) which I gather is just an upgraded Wildfire with a nicer screen resolution or the Samsung Galaxy Ace(269e)

Can anyone please shed some light on what might best suit?

I'd try for a s/h but new and unused HTC desire or Galaxy S over on adverts.ie

"So O'bama didn't rock a green tie. We're taking €20 off Android phones tomorrow anyway. We were reliably informed he has green boxers on "

At least they're honouring it!

At €230, little doubt that the Galaxy Ace is the best choice

HTC Wildfire is your best bet.

Lightweight, reliable, only €180 and has everything you could possibly want.

Only downside is the battery life but that probably applies to all androids!!

checked this out in store today, suitably impressed, very Iphone looking, they only had the old HTC Wildfires, but they didnt have the Ace in stock, was raging as I need it for Thursday...

Thanks for posting this, I wouldnt have remembered they do next day delivery if you order before 12, order placed, thanks Zonda!

€180 in Currys. I have not used a Wildfire S so I can't comment on it.... for the idiot in me by porting do you mean upgrading from one model to another? Kinda like an exchange?
