Seriously?!

I ask a question in a "Gadget" forum, on a website full of geeks and nobody knows what a fracking droid is?

Given the fact that you started the thread on Thursday, and nobody responded for three whole days, I think the answer is fairly obvious. :P

Orange San Francisco

£100 (+£10 top up on PAYG) for an Eclair (I believe a Froyo rom is floating about), a good dev community and already a FREE unlock method and rootable for extra goodies like ad blocking :)

Gets very good reviews for a budget phone, 4.5 on Techradar

For the extra £80 you'd be much better off with a 2nd-hand Desire, the Wildfire is limited in functionality.

I would only ever buy a contract phone or a cheap seconhand one so I agree with you.

Yet the San Francisco is better specced (WVGA over HVGA for a start) and £110-120 cheaper than the wildfire, you can just unlock it as soon as you get it then put any other sim card in

I don't think these droids use sim cards.

They might be a bit expensive though?
