The Android 2.1 (Eclair) smart-phone Vodafone 845 is now available at Vodafone stores in Germany. Due to its comparably low purchase price of € 129.90 without a Vodafone contract, the Vodafone 845 is a touch-screen smart-phone for new starters or for penny pinchers. As a contract phone with a “Superflat Internet” plan, purchase prices of the Vodafone 845 begin at € 1.00 at Vodafone stores. Except for at the Vodafone web store, it is also possible to buy the new Android smart-phone with a Vodafone prepaid SIM (“CallYa”) for € 139.80. The prepaid starter package includes the cell phone, the Vodafone SIM card and calling credit of € 10.00.

Since the phone is sold by Vodafone without a SIM lock it can also be used with a SIM card of any other mobile phone provider. below this short article you will find a list of overviews of prepaid plans of German providers for voice and mobile data services.

The Vodafone 845 is manufactured by Huawei and looks quite stylish and is priced competitively. The smart-phone comes with a touch screen with a 3.7-inch touch-screen with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and 262 144 colors. The relatively small size and low resolution of the resistive screen, which only reacts to pressure, is also the Achilles heel of the Vodafone 845: It is less comfortable to operate the smart-phone than with a device that has a large capacitive touch screen like the more expensive phones HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy S I9000.

Other features of the Vodafone 845 include a 3.2-megapixel camera, a media player and an FM radio. Even a GPS receiver for geotagging or use location-based services is installed. In addition to the Android Market App Store services such as Google Mail, Google Search, Google Maps, MyWeb, 360 People and the browser Chrome Lite are installed on the phone. For mobile data transfers the Vodafone 845 supports GPRS, UMTS, HSDPA as well as WLAN for Internet access at hotspots at home or on the road.
