Which Phone?

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.

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.
