Android-powered HTC Click rumored to be crazy cheap unlocked

One more note about that Android-powered HTC Click that we saw in a gloriously-framed shot yesterday morning: it's going to be cheap. It had been said all along that the Click would mark HTC's first Android entry into the low-end fray (joining the Touch Viva on WinMo), meaning the sticker price would be kept to a minimum -- but the Vietnamese forum that first brought you this picture is saying that we're looking at somewhere between 5 and 6 million dong, which works out to $280 to $336 unlocked. That's cheap enough to ensure that it's free on contract virtually anywhere in the world where it's sold, bringing Android to a whole new demographic. Now, just call us when the Hero's down to $280, eh?

Man, I love going to Vietnam just because their currency is named "Dong". It's worth it just to visit so some lady you don't even know can walk up to you and ask you "Excuse me, could you give me some dong?".

Beat me to it. "Dong in your pocket" "Not enough Dong" the list goes on. Vietnam is an amazing place as it is, let alone wandering round making dong jokes... really puts the place over the top.

Moving on...

That's one epic win of a deal.

Wow - looking forward to seeing specs on this. MyTouch and Hero both look great, but have flaws (MyTouch = headphone jack, Hero = performance). If this ends up being cheap and a decent phone, and makes its way to the US, it might be a winner.
