We see Android market becoming bigger and bigger every day. Vodafone decided to join the smartphones' competition, by pushing out its first branded Android phone, the super small Vodafone 845 first surprised a couple of weeks ago.

Unlike other smartphones, this one is surpringly small with a 2.8 inch QVGA display and a great optical trackpad for homescreen flicking. It also runs Android 2.1, has a 3.2 MP camera, 128 MB RAM and 512 MB storage. Nothing too impressive, you might say, but for the first branded Android device to start with, it's pretty decent.

According to Engadget, the device will be available this May, no specific date being mentioned, but it's expected to be a "low cost" device. Follow the source for more pics and a video too.
