i got a samsung galaxy s2 second hand for 130, got another one for 150, great phone and will run all apps, good camera and great all around phone.
id recommend getting one second hand lad, or possibly even an s1 if budget isnt that high.

P.s. whats app is only free for 5 months now???
also any android phone will run those apps, think of android as windows and ice cream sandwich as 8, jellybean as 7 etc(could be wrong way around by latest version but you get idea)

Mine gets used several hours a day for WiFi. And takes all the pics I need, gets covered in oil and car crap on a regular basis, gets regularly squashed and leant on in my pocket and still works perfectly

The only thing I'm not keen on is the battery life, but it's not broken, its been the same since new.

Don't knock HTC, but DO NOT - UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES - get a wildfire. They are horrendous handsets, and everyone I know that's had one hated it. My sensation xe may well be for sale in a couple of months, never had a problem with it. *awaits Mr lobb to pipe up about his sensations*

Must be the luck of the draw then, my gf had one, had nothing but issues with the firmware, constantly ran slow, and at its worst, she had to restart the phone every time she wanted to send a text or make a phone call. My ex-neighbour also had one, and had similar problems.

Having said that though, on the subject of the sensations, Darren apparently has had nothing but trouble with his, but mines been fine. Had to replace it about 10 months ago because I busted the screen, but otherwise I've had no problems. I'm due my upgrade in may though, so need to start researching what I'm gonna get next.

4.0 = ice cream sandwich (ICS)
4.1 = jelly bean

They are fairly similar. Dont go for anything older than android 2.3 and youll be doing well. As I said before. The orange san francisco is a great phone for £99 and remember you get warranty with that too in case it goes wrong.
