Alternative to San Fran?

My San Fran had an accident. I was wondering if these days there is a better option than the San fran at the same price range, or if it's still "the" budget android phone to get.

Thanks.

there's quite a few good ones now.

the skate can be got for about 120ish

the U8800 can be had for 150ish (very good phone)

another blade can be bought for 80ish

a phone that isn't budget but is cheap atm is the xperia play (£149.99 at 02 PAYG atm)

EDIT: oh and btw why did you put this in the roms section? To MOD please move

Yeah sorry, i have a bookmark right to here and still not used to the forum tree at the top, i didn't notice i was in the roms section.

So the skate is a more powerful phone than the blade? I love the enormous rom support for the blade, so maybe i should just get another...

I would go for Acer Liquid E or the Liquid Metal from Expansys.Co.UK. its 135pounds for a high end android device... and has the Same hardware as Nexus One, so games are really good...

I went from the blade to the skate.

And I can say that for the money,it is a very good device,and there is good custom roms for it(including cm7)

Only problem is that there is no unlock yet,so locked to orange for now.

The skate has a 4.3 inch screen,overclocks to nearly 1Ghz,game play is much better than the blade.

The camera is not to bad,but video is a joke,however,rom developer tillaz is working on 480x800 recording.

Anyone knows if blade is available for 80ish somewhere? I can't seem to find it below £130. One of my friend wants to buy it after seeing mine last week.

Acer Liquid Metal:

480 x 800 pixels, 3.6 inches

512 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM

800 MHz Scorpion processor

Acer Liquid E

480 x 800 pixels, 3.5 inches

512MB RAM, 512MB ROM

768 MHz Scorpion processor

About the same as the Blade then. Not so "high end".

Is £130 a good price for new one then? In the UK yes. Or are new ones available somewhere for cheaper? I got mine for £109 (includes the £10 top up too) - but gone are those days..
