I ideally want a new phone,, not contract as I want to use my existing contract SIM in a new phone.

I want it mostly for:

Texts and Emails
Internet
Decent music player with Radio
3mp Camera with flash

On a bit of a budget - £100.

Thanks

I found myself with the same dilemma recently, and have bought the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8.

I got this from Carphone Warehouse for a shade under £100, and am amazed by what it does and how well it does it. Including, a full querty software keyboard, and spacial orientation so you can make it work lengthways by turning the phone.

OK, was going to suggest San Francisco, but that's on Orange.

Nokia E63 is a bit above your budget on 3 PAYG and camera is slightly under specced, but it fits the bill for the other stuff, incl FM radio.

E63?

Super nice Symbian phone. I had one before I got my Nokia E72. For all the noise and thunder there is little that an Android or iPhone can do that a Symbian can't and the Battery life on these phones can last 4 days.

I have been very happy with both of mine. These are very good mobile phones.

Unlockable for free online. Still the best £100 phone around IMO. Easy to get rid of all the Orange crap and get it updated to 2.3 too.
