    How much do you want to spend on the phone? Are you looking to acquire one through a contract or just buy the phone outright? There are so many phones that fit the description. A good place of reference is https://www.gsmarena.com

    Well I would suggest you look at the Samsung tocco lite. It's quite a usable phone, and can take upto 16gb memory cards. The 3.2 mp camera has fixed focus though. If the camera is important, dialaphone are selling the LG viewty lite at a reduced price of 97.80, and it has a 5mp cam with a decent lens, but the phone can only take upto 2gb cards if my memory serves me right.

    i've sold hundreds of cookies and only had a small number back. it's the fastest selling handset at the moment so there are bound to be some returns, but it isn't a problem in my honest opinion

    The cookie - Camera is rubbish on cookie - touch keys are annoying (you need keylock to be safe from it dialling numbers by itself), texting is not easy. Sound is good, memory you need to expand with a card, gameplay and apps (impossible with the touchscreen).

    C510 would have been preferred option for the price range but I got the cookie cheap in june.

    you need a keylock with anyphone and the cookie, like most, has one. camera is fine at 3.2 and texting is very easy when you flip it round so it brings up the qwerty keyboard. and just because you cant get on with a touch screen doesn't mean that others can't>

    like i said, it's the fastest selling handset at the moment, can't be that bad.
