I'm after a phone around £30-£35 (for a present). I don't want one of the ultra-basic phones, but it doesn't need to be super fancy either.
Key things I'm after are: camera, bluetooth, looks nice, not a PITA to use, reliable.

Games, music player etc not as important.

So, what would you recommend?

I have just purchased the Nokia 2630 at Argos. It has good reviews and I am very pleased with it.

At first I couldn't find the SIM card as it wasn't in the box but it came with the SIM card already fitted in the phone by Nokia.

a little bit over your budget at 39 pounds

Cheers, the 2630 looks pretty good. Other contenders have been a Sony Ericsson T250i (but didn't have bluetooth) and a Sagem phone, but some reviews said it broke easily.

What's the deal with the sim card...?

The SIM card is already fitted in the phone by Nokia and has £1 of Vodafone credit. If you register your details with Vodafone you get a further £1.

There are cheaper ones on the Argos website but I got this one because it has 17 good reviews, has masses of facilities, looks good and was £29.39.
