    Alright, I have an old Samsung Galaxy Spica.
    It's this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_i5700

    Here's my problem: I use wi-fi at home and it works wonders for my laptop or playing games on the xbox but downloading on anything other than the laptop is pretty slow. I have no idea if phones are just natually really slow or not with downloads. I usually get about 20-30Mbs on download nad 3Mbs upload on my laptop.

    So basically if a new phone is gonna be slow, I don't want to waste money on it.

    I can spend up to about 370 yoyos. All I do on it is either browse the internet or else play games (and not even 3D ones, more casually-puzzle type games and the games like farmville on your mobile etc).

    I'd prefer android since it has the most apps. I'm not going with apple stuff since I hate iTunes. But I'm open to other OSs if they're particulary good or have many games (for free ideally).
    Has to be pre-pay.
    Ideally on o2 but I don't mind switching networks (so long as they have good 3G in Dublin City).

    The one thing I'm interested in is this HDMI output thingy. Am I right in thinking I could just hook it up to a TV and use it to play videos on the phone? If I can, I'd like a phone with that and at least an 8GB of memory. I'm not playing any HD content if that matters, I'd just be copying over DVDs I have and not Blu-Rays.
