Where can you get a $25 Android handset?

AliExpress, though the listings might be lying.

That said, from everything I've heard they're almost unusable.

Sorry, got the £$ conversion the wrong way round! It's easy to find £40 handsets (no contract) in the UK. See http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/phone/alcatel/alcatel-pop-c...

Is it shitty? No, not if it's your first smartphone. Or it's the most convenient way to read Wikipedia / play Angry Birds.

I too am interested. The cheapest I was able to find (and one that is almost definitely a terrible phone) is here on DX.com[1] and is still $44.55.
