Most smartphone retailers are pushing the two year contract option for most of their smartphone range, but there are some people who simply don’t want to sign on for such a lengthy agreement for whatever reason, and some retailers are taking note of this.

According to Gary C of Eurodroid, the word is the UK’s Carphone Warehouse has now launched a promotion whereby the retailer is offering 3 Android based smartphones which come with a 1 year contract rather than the lengthy 24 month option.

The three Android smartphones on a 12 month option from Carphone Warehouse are the HTC Wildfire at a cost of £49.99 and £20 a month, the LG Optimus GT540 as a free handset at £20 a month and the Samsung Galaxy Europa again as a free device at £20 a month.

Apparently for your £20 per month on any of the three Android handsets you receive 200 minutes talk time, unlimited internet, and 1000 texts, and apparently you’ll be connected via Talk Mobile which means that unlimited internet is actually 500MB a month.
