UPDATE: Ah. Vodafone UK won’t be stocking the Vodafone 945 for the time being. A spokesperson confirmed to us that the company is “not at the moment planning to offer the 945 in the UK”, citing other low end Android phones already on sale through the network.
The Vodafone 945 has just been outed, and while it’s another “competitively priced” Android phone, the specs are a whole lot more tempting than the rather bland Vodafone 845 launched earlier this year. Read on for the photos and details.
The Vodafone 945 appears to correct the biggest flaw in the Vodafone 845, by switching out the terrible QVGA resistive touchscreen for a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen that should prove much more responsive. Wi-Fi is on board, along with an improved five megapixel camera, and 300MB of inbuilt storage can be bolstered by a micro SD slot.

Vodafone claims that the Vodafone 945 has a “contemporary feel”, and while we haven’t yet played with the device, we’re not sure the same can be said of the software it runs: it’s stuck on Android 2.1, while Android 3.0 is rumoured to be just around the corner.
But hey, if the Vodafone 945 can come in at the same price as the Orange San Francisco and Alcatel OT-980 on Pay As You Go, it could still be a tempting telephone of a stocking filler.
