A phone with WiFI

Well, like, if you only spend 130 and want wifi, like, and a camera, like, then you aren't going to get much of a phone, liiiike.

That's not necessarily true. About 6 months ago I bought an unlocked Samsung Jet for €99. It has WiFi, a 5MP camera, comes with 8MB internal memory and a memory card slot. I heard about the phone thanks to a post on this board and I love it. It has a great media player too, probably the best purchase I've made in a long time. It has a few minor quirks, but all the other advantages make up for it. Sort of a poor mans I-Phone. Unfortunately the the site where I bought it, Maxroam has since raised their price to €149. but even at that price it has everything you want and more for only an extra €19 and if you keep an eye on it, they may reduce it again or you might get something similar for less. Samsung have been flooding the market with a lot of different WiFi phones. Also you can look on ebay for unlocked Android phones.

Maxroam is an Irish company based in Cork and the link is:

Just after seeing another post and it looks like Vodafone now has a BlackBerry Curve 8520 on Pay as you Go for only €139, this may be a great deal for you: http://www.vodafone.ie/df/prepay/prepayporting/index.jsp?handset=8520W&manufacturerSelected=ALL#tab[fulldetails]

Can anyone tell me whether i could get a wifi android phone for under €220 prepay?

did you try the websites of main providers...

http://www.three.ie/shop/samsung-spica-white-prepay.htm

or https://store.meteor.ie/phones/htc_wildfire/#tech-specs-tab

or others from https://store.meteor.ie/phones/android

I'm sure if you looked around on their websites or called into carphone warehouse they could tell you. not that i'm recommending carphone warehouse... you can just use them for advice and take it from there.

doesn't give a great review. It also mentions that hte gt540 runs android 1.6 which is a good few versions back. If you are investing over 200 in a phone I'd like to get a more current version at lesast 2.0+ the very latest one is 2.2

This article gives a good overview of your problem. At the money you're talking, you'll probably have to settle for a phone running and android version before 2.0. If you could afford a bit more, there's alot more on offer. I have a motorola milestone, which is on 2.1 and has a nice physical keyboard in addition to the touchscreen, which i really wanted, but if you were happy with just touch, there are a lot of nice android phones with 2.0 or better for the 300 mark. Maybe santa could come early for you?:)
