Im sure theres many threads on here about this, but thought im not too familiar with the search features..

Im looking for a cheap enough (under £100) phone with a good camera... good memory (expandible) and it will have to be pretty decent.. any ideas? :confused:

    The Samsung G600 has an ok-ish camera (slow) but good for still pictures, with expandible memory upto 2gb. But everything else is pretty limited. or samsung U800.

    The LG Viewty and LG Cookie is around that price, but i dont know anything about them

    Heard the K800i has a good camera. Then theres a few Sony ericsson bar phones like. K770i, C510.

    Only had a quick look at pay as you go handsets under £100, I've only really used the samsung g600 out of that list.:o, so i'm not sure on the memory capacity for the rest of the mobiles and their picture quality.

    Hope it gives you an idea on what to get, or what to look for.

    Oh you got the SE C902? Now i understand what you mean ;).
    Do you know how much it will cost for your phone to be repaired?

    P.S: Let me know what you end up picking, i'm curious what you "downgrade" to :p.

    Personally I would avoid the Viewty, bought one for my daughter at xmas, she loves the phone, loves all the features, especially the camera, but the back fell off it so many times she now walks around with sticky tape on it. LG and The Link were hopeless at trying to get it fixed as they class it as cosmetic :confused: I wanted to fight this, however, my daughter, being an adult (or so she thinks) decided to put up with it :confused:
