Which mobile phone to buy - budget £120+

gittel

Earlier this year I lost my Nokia 6300 (bought in 2007) and the technology has moved on very significantly with Blackberry's, Iphones N95, N96 and goodness knows what else.

The insurers have assessed the replacement value of the phone as c £100 + accessories etc so basically got c. £120+ to spend on a phone. I'm on a TMobile solo contract of £15 with 350 minutes and unlimited texts

I'd be willing to consider phones which cost more than my budget if its facilities are worth going for.

I'd welcome recommendations on what I should consider buying and thanks for reading

Thanks for your reply. good keyboard for texting, decent camera, radio, organiser, free cable linking to computer. May well also want MP3 plus internet access for email & perhaps also browsing. If I'm going to use it for email etc, then I'd like to read/edit word docs as well.

Dont understand what GPRS is??

've seen a write up for the Nokia 5800 which does seem to have an impressive load of potentially great features

If you've had a 6300 then the logical choice would be the 6700 or the 5800 from Nokia.

The E63 is not a bad phone, and it should be in your price range.

What about the Nokia 6303?

Texting on the 5800 is not bad on the big full screen keyboard.

But it's not brilliant. Other than that it's definitely a brilliant phone and should be well within your price range.

In short, internet, but it's old hat now. You want one with HSDPA (think 3.5g)
