Best Androids For Less Than $100

Android phones for less than $100 don't have to be more than two years old, and as fast as technology is moving today, you can get some decent tech for much less than $100. Pantech, a company new to the U.S. is selling a brand new device for $100 with a two year contract from Verizon. It's got a four inch screen, a five megapixel camera and runs Android 2.3 right out of the box.

For the best deal, check out AT&T's Samsung Captivate. With a new two year contract, you can grab one for a penny (online offer only)! This may be a limited time offer, but it's such a good deal. It runs on an older version of Android (2.2 Froyo) but it's got a four inch screen and comes with Swype for faster texting and typing.

Sprint's HTC Evo Design 4G can also be had for $100 on contract after a $50 mail-in rebate. It comes with a four inch qHD touchscreen, Android 2.3 and 1.2GHz processor. This is a good option because Sprint allows unlimited data on their network. If that sounds good then check out the Nexus S 4G, also from Sprint. This was Google's second phone and it's over a year old now, so it costs $100 on contract with the $50 mail in rebate. It even comes with Android 2.3 and a four inch Super AMOLED display. If T-Mobile is your flavor, there is the HTC MyTouch 4G, free with a new two year contract. It runs Android 2.2 also, but has a 3.8-inch screen and four gigabytes of on board storage expandable to 32GB with an SD card (eight gigabyte card included).
