My Desire HD went through the wash and ideally I would like a new phone tonight or tomorrow. So I'm after an android phone that has a 1GHz+ processor and can be picked up in Sydney.
Either new or second hand is fine.
Anyone that helps me find one will receive lots of good karma! ;)
Or, for $235 you can get a Moto Defy which would probably survive the wash. Emphasis on probably.

CPU is a 800 MHz Cortex-A8 though.
This phone is classed as a 'Retailer Second' and is in a 'near new' condition with minimal if any marks, and will be shipped in its original box with all standard original accessories.
Should be plenty of options…
LG Optimus 7 has recently been $159 on COTD.. WinPho7 though and you probably wont find them that price today.
Samsung Galaxy S are surely below the $300 mark now.. Pretty awesome phone even now (I'm still running one).
I presume you've tried disassembling the Desire HD and thoroughly drying it (ie leaving it in a hot car far a day or two) before reassembling and turning it back on? It used to work for my old Nokias that I'd drop in puddles on work sites occasionally.
Went to post office and saw incredible s is 299, not sure if thats a bargain but sounds decent
HTC Incredible S that's Optus-locked used to be $269 a few months ago so $299 is probably not a decent deal. I bought mine in January off eBay (also Optus-locked) also for $26x.
Nice phone though, if you like SenseUI.
It's a good deal, but i'd be holding off a bit. I was thinking about getting the Nexus S myself, but tbh it looks to plastic, and I'd prefer to get something like the Defy that'd probably last twice as long as the Nexus S.
It's a great phone especially after you install a custom ROM and OC it (see thread) and is what i'd recommend .
What about the Huawei Vision? It is selling for $278 at Allphones, outright.
It is also recently reviewed at GSMArena. Quite a decent phone: http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_u8850_vision-review-735.php
Hmph, looks ok. I've got the Huawei Sonic and it's a well renowned phone however I wouldn't pay $188 for it anymore. The specs for the Vision are decent but I wonder what the community support for it's like. Without a decent Cynagoen Mod port IMHO this phone would be useless to me.
Well, having a nightly for the Vision is a good start: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916796
OOps my bad that's the HTC Vision…
under $300 your looking at a Nexus S from vodafone, they are all unlocked and are $299 at Dick Smith
