1257455 2012-02-05 00:43:00 I have about $500 to spend on my next gadget. I'm thinking either a new phone, e.g. LG Optimus P990 (www.2degreesmobile.co.nz electProd.do&_konakart_portlet_WAR_konakart_portlet__sorig=%2FS electCat.do%3FcatId%3D21&productId=87) (I would buy the phone on trademe, where there are a couple for about $500)or my other "want" is the PS Vita, which is coming out on the 23rd Feb. any thoughts? or other phone suggestions? preferably the phone will be able to run android 4.0, when it comes out, and less than $550 is good, becuase that is my absolute limit.

Thanks!

1257457 2012-02-05 02:13:00 I dont use them (vitas) but one of my mates who was very excited to get one was incredibly underwhelmed. Get a fancy android phone or tablet, maybe try a WP7, I tried one and really liked the UI.

Or you can give me $500 :D

1257459 2012-02-05 05:17:00 Don't get a PS Vita, if it is anything like the original PSP you will probably be incredibly disappointed. icow (15313)
1257460 2012-02-05 21:02:00 Had a play with the Huawei android tablet 2 degrees are offering the other day ($550 I think?).

Very nice. If I had your cash, I'd be buying that.

1257462 2012-02-06 07:00:00 Hmmm. Also, If I could make about $250 in about 6 months (paper run etc.) would there be anything worth realllly waiting for?
Don't particularly want a win7 phone, I prefer android. I have a HTC Wildfire A3333 (not the new telecom one) and it's getting quite slow, even thought I did a factory reset about 2 months ago. So a new phone would be nice.

1257463 2012-02-06 09:15:00 You could go for an Asus Transformer, or save another ~$250 and get yourself the Galaxy Nexus. In terms of phone, it's *amazing*! I love mine! :D Chilling_Silence (9)
