UPDATE: starting new thread this takes to long to scroll and the new thread will be more to the point as I know what I want now.
hey everyone I'm new here and I've never had an android phone let alone a smart phone at all. my birthday is coming up in the middle of march and I was hoping to get a prepaid vodafone or unlocked android phone. I got a limit of $200 Australian (doesn't really matter what country atm the dollar is about the same)
I've been looking for a good android phone for about 2 weeks now with no luck, I've stumbled upon the ideos and the lg optimus but have read nothing but bad reviews, I'm looking for an up to date phone (with latest-ish version of android) with a big screen (I use an ipod touch 2nd gen so it's about 3.2 inches/3.5 size screen. (love the ipod but it's old, I want a better phone and I don't like giving apple money) I love playing angry birds and fruit ninja so if it can play those I am happy. I don't really mind what mp the camera is because i'm use to a 1.5mp so any bigger is a plus.
I heard the huawei ideos x3 (which seems pretty good) is coming out in March (only in japan though so I might be waiting a while, it will hit the rest of the world later but I was hoping to get a phone on my birthday)
thanks for reading and I hope you can help! I do stress the screen size though as I have low vision and can just see the ipod.
EDIT: found out the gw620 doesn't upgrade past 1.5 officially. (I really don't want to root or flash or use roms I don't like to mess around with firmware)
I was really looking forward to the gw620, had a keyboard, it had a nice screen and it looked really good.
does anyone know of a either 2.2 or 2.1 android phone with at least a 3 inch display screen with a keyboard, (kind of like the keyboards how they slide out but it doesn't matter if it has one or not just would prefer it) and a 3+mp camera for under $250USD/AUD?
