I just got my PB Tech friday email....and they're selling Acer BeTouch E400 Android phones with Android v2.1 for $299+GST ($344-ish).

That's a pretty good price......Amazing, really, considering what you can do with one of these phones. They support wifi and GPS...so for turn-by-turn Nav (Maps [brut]) alone it's cheap.

I might buy one just for the hell of it. Had a look last weekend and they looked like tidy wee units - 3.2" screens.

...and then we also have the 2degrees Huawei U8150 IDEOS for $379 running Android v2.2. Even better.

This is cool to watch. Cheap smart phones for everyone/anyone who can get their head around them....(which will prove to be the ultimate limit on uptake, I suspect).

My mum got the Vodafone 845 which is a Huawei 8120 and runs Android 2.1. Seems ok but the screen res of 320x240 is a little too small.

All comments are my own opinion, and not that of my employer unless explicitly stated.

But there's a lot of places selling it for $199 at the moment...
At that price it's great value.
