Where can you get a $25 Android handset?
- briandh 12y agoAliExpress, though the listings might be lying. $50 is a more reasonable ceiling: http://www.aliexpress.com/category/5090301/mobile-phones.html?shipCountry=us&shipCompanies=&SearchText=&minPrice=&maxPrice=50&minQuantity=&maxQuantity=&isFreeShip=n&isFavorite=n&isRtl=n&isOnSale=n&isAtmOnline=n&similar_style=n&similar_style_id=&CatId=5090301&pvId=190-361828&isrefine=y http://www.aliexpress.com/category/5090301/mobile-phones.htm... That said, from everything I've heard they're almost unusable.

- edent 12y agoSorry, got the £$ conversion the wrong way round! It's easy to find £40 handsets (no contract) in the UK. See http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/phone/alcatel/alcatel-pop-c1/ppay?colourCode=BLACK http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/phone/alcatel/alcatel-pop-c... Is it shitty? No, not if it's your first smartphone. Or it's the most convenient way to read Wikipedia / play Angry Birds.
