Looking for a mobile ?

I'm looking for a good deal on a pre-pay or sim free mobile. Its for my wife so probably a more girly phone would be best. I'm willing to pay upto about £180 and i'd like the phone to be preferable a flip style with colour screen and camera/video.

Many thanks
Titch :)

    Lidl's are doing a "Sim Free" Motorola V220 for £100 from Thursday, but only in certain areas. :(

    Most places (online) do this phone for around £130 Sim Free, but i'm sure someone else will post if there is a better option. :D

    Ignoring somewhat your specifications (apart from one) is this the most girly phone ever??

    Daft price (but there is a pink one on the same site for more....)
