1266873 2012-03-26 07:54:00 Dont get the 858 they are terrible, @errorguy dunno when you checked iphone prices but you can get 3gs's 2nd hand for under $400 easy. I do agree that's still not "cheap" when compared to an andriod or windows equiv. icow (15313)

1266875 2012-03-26 08:08:00 Cheers chill, the 858 was the one I was looking at. Might have to see what sort of bargaining I can do on the galaxy plod (107)

1266877 2012-03-26 08:42:00 the sony xperia active should.not sure about the galaxy y but I doubt it would work. Nick G (16709)
1266878 2012-03-26 09:10:00 I wouldn't touch any android device under $200. You will be disappointed. sahilcc7 (15483)
1266879 2012-03-26 09:27:00 I won't be, my son might. As far as I'm concerned I haven't used a decent one under about $700 plod (107)
1266880 2012-03-26 09:36:00 I'm thinking about buying the samsung galaxy w. Does anyone know anything about this device. Also, is Fair Buy reputable? Nick G (16709)
1266881 2012-03-26 10:10:00 While it might only be a $50 difference, the step up from the 858 to the Galaxy Mini is huge! The Galaxy Mini is a far nicer phone, and I'd strongly suggest trying your luck bartering it down if you can... Chilling_Silence (9)

I would take the galaxy mini over the 858, but even better would be the LG Optimus One p500. It has a larger, (3.2 inch) screen, which is has a resolution of 320x480, which is better than either the samsung galaxy mini (3inch, 240x320), or the vodafone 858 (2.8inch, also 240x320). Here's a a link to the LG optimus one.
