Most HTC handsets are good, not sure on price now, but the wildfire and desire s phones are good, wildfire being the cheaper option. Desire s is my current phone and I love it. |

"Best smartphones under £200? info appreciated "
Kinda depends on which OS you want to run. What makes a smartphone a smartphone is the apps on it.
At the =£200 mark, you've got a choice of three, really - Blackberry, Android, or Windows Phone 7.
Android has the most apps and the widest choice of handsets by a mile - it's the #1 Smartphone OS, having overtaken iOS on iPhone. However, personally, I find it hateful to use - it slows down to a crawl if you sneeze in its general direction, even on £400 phones.
Blackberry... ignore, it's a dead platform walking.
Which leaves Windows Phone 7. WP8 shipped a few weeks ago, with the cheapest WP8 handset at £240, and prices on the older WP7 handsets have dropped a fair bit... the downside is it doesn't have nearly as many apps as Android or iOS, and WP8-only applications now exist which will never be on WP7. The upside is that WP7 is super user-friendly compared to Android, in my humble opinion.
For £200, I'd probably be picking between a Sony Xperia U (Android) or a Nokia Lumia 800 (WP7) |

Sony xperia U is not bad, the only thing that puts me off it is that the memory isn't good-and you cant expand the memory via a micro sd card...I'm leaning towards HTC X or HTC Z bang on £200 mark...Great phones!! |

A samsung Galaxy S2 can be had for around the £200 mark these days. WOuld need your own SIM though. Great phone, love mine and it constantly amazes me with just how much it can do. |

I have an IPhone, no idea how much they cost as mine is on contract (you I guess want to buy one) so I don't care, I just got it for the keyboard. Not bothered about downloading apps, be careful about who you choose to be with ie 3 (not the greatest at the start), Orange etc.
My daughter has a HTC something touch phone, probably quite old so may have improved since she got hers but I find the graphics dreadful along with the layout, cheap nasty crap |

iPhone 3GS from eBay it's still a good smartphone and the only restriction of second hand phones is they may be tied to a certain carrier. Mine is on O2 which for £10 a month gives me more texts and 3G Internet than I use. And I almost never use it for phone calls. So the credit builds up until I am abroad and want to text J , she is on the same deal, does use the phone more but stays within the £10 most times |
