Here’s a good deal for our readers from the UK who want an affordable Android device and don’t want to sign 12-24 month contracts; Orange is offering the ZTE Skate (aka Orange Monte Carlo) for 119 GBP (about $183) on PAYG. Along with the phone, you’ll also have to get a 10 GBP top up which shouldn’t be a problem (you’ll need to call some people anyways).
In case you wonder, the Orange Monte Carlo rocks an 800MHz processor with the Adreno 200 GPU, big 4.3-inch WVGA capacitive touchscreen, HSPA and Wi-Fi connectivity, 5-megapixel camera, GPS, Bluetooth, memory card slot, while Android 2.3 Gingerbread is running the show. To sum it up – it’s a solid mid-ranger that delivers great value for the money.
You can grab the Orange Monte Carlos from this page at the carrier’s website…
