Hey guys
Im looking for a very small phone that is good looking. It doesnt hav to have camera, video, kitchen sink ect. All i want is to be able to phone and text someone. Also the phone has to be between the £50-100 price bracket.
Any ideas??

ACTUAL SIZE
well, i'm about to get a new phone, and after looking through all the avalible phones, the best one i would say is the samsung d500.
262,000 colour screen, 1.3mp camara with flash. 92mb memory blue tooth etc etc
i cant see any other phone that comes close.
apart from nokia, but i dont include them, because there silly and everyone ends up with the same phone.

you rang?
small sexy phone you say?
A samsung x460 will do the trick i expect (although they are about £120 on payg)
that or a siemens sl55 - a rather sexy small phone - £90 on payg
*top tip*
buy the phone on virgin mobile. Virgin will subsidise the handset down for you to a lower price and the sim free cost, and all virgin mobile handsets purchased from reputable dealers (http://www.carphonewarehouse.com) will be sim free, allowing you to just use your old sim!

that is, if you can actually find one to buy. Please also remember its samsungs 1st phone with bluetooth (so the BT interface will be SHOCKING). but yes, i really want to take a look at one - they do sound awesome
(and for all those interested i use One of these (http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=gb&lc=en&ver=4000&template=pp1_loader&php=php1_10140&zone=pp&lm=pp1&pid=10140))

yeah nokia's advertising was a tad odd for that one, obviously on purpose though
"slide me open to explore my secrets"
"Cunningly hidden integrated VGA camera for a touch of mystery"
just LOL :)

Get a cheap CHAV nokia phone until you get a better price budget :)
Then get one of those new Motorola's that Guigsy's likes.

The samsung e300's look good,infact ive just ordere the wife one for xmas
It does have camera plus dual screens, photo ID calling,limited video capabilities
not bad for 100 quid on PAYGO (Orange)
www.Thelink.co.uk
Personally i use E700 ,but that maybe a little out of your price range they still selling at around the 200 quid mark
Good luck finding what your looking for :)

Hi Steadders,
Just to let you know that Samsung's new D500 is out at last after alot of waiting...myself included. Got mine on Monday and haven't stopped playing with it. :D
This is a good site for info if you want to find out anymore about the phone. (http://www.online-mobile-phone.co.uk)
and I got it from Mobiles 2 Your Door (http://tracker.tradedoubler.com/click?p=18205&a=1044121&g=19570&url=http://www.mobiles2yourdoor.co.uk/samsung/d500/vodafone/?Source=TradeDoubler)
That is the one you should go for if you ask me!
Anyone else got one?
Cheers
Tim

I got a D500 yesterday.
Went into carphonewarehouse on saturday, they said it'd be £260 upgrade, so I said ok i'll cancel and start a new contract but I wanna keep my number. The phone was 100quid on that (I only wanted a crap tariff) and after about half an hour of the sales guy sorting out the number change over they said "ok if you don't take the phone today and stay on your current contract, have it delivered for tuesday you can have the upgrade for £80" so that was a result, may do that again next year too and save a lot of hassle, and money :D.
