Google Android phones are some of the hottest handsets on the market and we were really surprised when we recently looked to see how affordable they were. We just used our search facility, specifying that we wanted to see only Android handsets that cost under £10 a month.

Around a dozen handsets appeared - From the low end Samsung Galaxy Europa and LG Optimus Swift, to the Sony XPERIA X10 Mini and the HTC Wildfire.

Most of the deals are cashback offers, where you initially pay the line rental, then claim it back from the retailer.

For example, the XPERIA X10 Mini is available from mobiles.co.uk (part of the Carphone Warehouse) on Orange Racoon 20. This gives you 200 anytime minutes, unlimited calls to landlines and 300 texts per month, on a 24 month contract. The offer is for 14 months free line rental, giving you a total monthly cost of £8.33.

There are lots of similar £10 Android deals out there, just use our search facility and have a look!

The Nokia C6 is a decent spec. touchscreen phone, with a 3.2 inch resistive touchscreen, 5 megapixel camera, slide out QWERTY keyboard, Wi-fi and GPS (with assisted GPS for faster location finding). It comes in black or white.

At the moment, you can get the black version of this from mobiles.co.uk with 100 minutes, 100 texts and 1Gb of data a month on an 18 month contract for only £9.99 a month after cashback. If you'd prefer, you can swap the 1Gb of data for unlimited texts instead, for the same price.

Similar deals are available on Orange. A 24 month contract with 100 minutes, unlimited texts and 500Mb of data a month is £10.83 - Again from mobiles.co.uk.
