    You'd be going backwards from the Wildfire S with a Tippo, the Wildfire S is still nearly double the price of the tippo.
    I know it's not android but have you seen the HTC 8S, it's a smashing looking phone, think it's about €249 either that or a Samsung Ace2. The Galaxy S3 Mini is nearly out i'd expect the price of it to drop rapidly over the next few weeks.

    I was thinking about the ace 2 but that only gingerbread will it be getting an update to ics or jelly bean?

    Samsung have said it will get Jelly Bean. Not sure if it's up to meteor to do it though, you could be waiting.

    The only thing I could find was that Samsung said it on the Facebook page in Romania and I can find it anywhere else which makes me unsure buy if you can post another link where they say it is getting jb then the ace 2 is the phone for me as I was very interested in it but I didn't think it was getting updated

    Quick google found this (see bolded text):

    http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/24/samsung-rolling-jelly-bean-toward-most-of-its-smartphone-tablet/
    Now that Samsung has commenced beaming Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OTA toward deserving Galaxy S III customers, it's announced a raft of other devices set to receive the buttery OS in the near future. On the list are the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and 10.1, Galaxy Note 10.1, Galaxy S II, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, Galaxy S Advance, Galaxy S II LTE, Galaxy Music, Galaxy Chat, Galaxy Ace 2, Galaxy Beam, Galaxy Ace Plus, Galaxy mini II and Galaxy S Duos. That should bring a bit of extra speed and smoothness to those devices, along with Google Now for search and Samsung's own flourishes from the latest TouchWiz UX. As for the rest of us, there's more than one way to skin a Smartphone -- or avoid skinning one, as the case may be.

    Article was from September but based on their rollouts for other phones you could be waiting a while. There are prob unofficial versions out to tide you over.
