HTC Explorer

The HTC Explorer is an entry-level Android smartphone with a 3.2 inch display, 3 megapixel camera and 600 MHz processor. For those not in need for, or wanting to spend savings on a dual core 4.3 inch smartphone, the HTC Explorer might be the perfect choice. We have seen it before that very cheap smartphones from large brands are perfectly capable of doing most of the same things you expect from flagship models. The smaller display and resolution requires less computing power for the processor which makes the need for a quick processor less important. The 1230 mAh battery are giving the HTC Explorer 460 minutes and 485 hours of talk time.

This is actually a cute looking
Handset but I think it's abit overpriced
If they started it at £79.99 instead of £149.99
which they want For it then I might of thought about
Getting one as a spare knockabout

See specs here & yes it does. I think no new Android handsets should come with anything lower now. The Wildfire S had same specs except camera was 5 megs & it was a solidly built reliable phone.
