Sub £100 Android 'blackberry'
 
Here is the budget Alcatel OT-980, to be released at under £100 in a months time:

It runs android 2.1 + 2.8" screen, 600MHz. Nothing amazing about the specs but I thought it might be interesting to show the range of the market Android has access to vs other smartphone OS's.

More like Android "Pre" :D
Or the old XDA

Hasn't heard of Alcatel for years now. They tried Android as their magic ticket to smartphone market ?

Yeah, I am pretty sure its their first 'smartphone OS', and you are right its touch screen size is more akin to the Pre! Looks a bit like the £570 blackberry torch though:

And I had that XDA, the blueangel, 3.5" portrait sliding qwerty was way ahead of its time.

I didn't think anyone else actually had an 02 XDA IIs.

I still have mine somewhere...

Was an awesome phone when I got it.

Yep, 3G too. I kept it long enough to put Windows 6.5 on it which is amazing considering it came with Windows mobile 2003. I got it for reading books but it was only the fast scrolling larger res and screen devices that sorted that out for me! I never got the XDA exec though but that looked pretty cool at the time, it was extortionate on contract.
