I've been considering an Android phone for a while, but I like my old Nokia and it does all I need most of the time. I'm getting a bit tired of carrying my phone, my tablet, and my iPod to work though, a single device would be handy. I'm going to the UK for a couple of weeks then Singapore for a few days, it might be a good opportunity to try one out. Having maps, GPS, email, etc would be very handy.

Cheeky request - if anyone has an Android phone they don't use lying around I'd give you a few bucks/some beer/whatever if I can borrow it for a month or so. If I break it, lose it, or damage it, I pay for it. Mauricio knows where I live, a few blocks from him, so I'm relatively trusted. Nothing too old or too tiny, Android 4 or better, so I can get a taste for the current OS and whether I want to buy one myself.

Alternately, can anyone recommend a cheap Android phone, preferably in stock and available from Amazon.co.uk, that I can use as a "taster" device? I don't need huge storage, best performance, just a solid device that will work without being too sucky.  I go next week so no time to order from ebay. Either way I'll probably sell it when I get back to NZ, either giving it up or upgrading to a top of the line model.

New S3 is only about NZ$220 - does it require a contract though? Doesn't look like it.

This one's only about NZ$110. Rayyan 4".
