I'm thinking of getting an android device. what I an looking for is (reasonably) low cost, reliable, pocket sized, runs android, wifi connectivity, basically an android phone but without the phone bit. (and it must be available in the UK for obvious reasons)

does anyone have any recommendations?

So basically like an iPod Touch but with Android instead? Something without the phone that runs droid are usually tablets, not heard of anything of an iTouch equivalent.

in effect yes but I am willing to accept a tablet if there is nothing else available

You can also get a phone and not use it as a phone... or get an iPod Touch and install Android on it

the problem with getting a phone and not using the phone part is that I would have to pay for a monthly contract, and an Ipod touch is far too expensive

You don't -have- to pay for a monthly contract.

There's a lot of people that don't do that actually and just have it as a pocket computer

plus depending on the phone you could throw on a full desktop OS on the thing...

Hm... it's probably not a great idea to put a desktop OS on a handheld device, but I've seen people do it. Heck, I've done it but I didn't like it

I guess its a matter of if it fully supports the hardware or not, and that I can't really comment on. BTW I did see that post, very very cool!
