This is reported to be the HTC Vision. It looks like a top-end device with Android 2.1, 1Ghz CPU and a 3.7" touch screen. Personally I'd love to see a QWERTY-sliding Android from HTC, so I can't wait to see this thing in the flesh. The bottom of …

The HTC Hero is one of our favourite Android handsets still and, if you're after one, it may be worth looking at this refurbished one at Three. It's available for £159.99 and then you simply stick your Pay As You Go SIM card in. Job done. It even …
In February we spent quite a bit of time on the Sony Ericsson stand. Their new range of Android-based phones includes the X10 and the tiny X10 Mini that's currently available on a number of networks here in the UK. The phone that impressed me the most...

Alright this is getting just silly now. Here's another one of those 7" Android tablets. This one runs Android 1.6 and, whilst it doesn't have a SIM slot for mobile browsing, you can pick one up for around £67. That's just mental. For your money you'l...
