I need a new mobile phone, I would like a smart phone if possible, my price range is £100/150 can anyone please advise me on the best phone to buy, at the moment I have an HTC Wildfire and was very happy with it but would like to get something a little better if possible.

New or is used OK ?

Are you happy with the HTC sense interface or you don't care ?

Are there any specific features you are looking for ?

I think in that price range, Nokia Lumia 710 can't be beat. (£150 at Vodafone payg and comes with 6 months free unlimited music).

you can get Orange San Francisco 2 (£109 including 10 quid credit) and unlock it, it has 800mhz processor, 512mb of ram and for the price 400x800 pixels screen, ZTE Crescent is the base model

There is also the same phone T-Moible Velocity which just looks different.

bare in mind not all apps will be supported, for example although the phone has 2 cameras, Skype doesn't support them yet.

currently out of stock and checked with vodaphone and they don't know if they are getting any more in stock before the offer runs out.

I've been looking for a cheap phone this week and was looking at the SF2 but I hear the screen is not as good as the original SF.

In the end bought a virtually new wildfire S off fleabay.

Other option would be galaxy ace or SE live with walkman.

The one i got for my friend was from prepaymania it arrived within 2 days.

Personally i am using iPhone. as with any advice on the web i suggest you do a research first before running into buying anything, there are quite a few reviews about this device
