Handset recommendations please

Hi, my LG Viewty has died so I need a new handset. I am with 3 on their £10 sim only contract which is fine for my needs (don't usually use the 100 mins call time, use around 300-400 texts, don't use the internet/skpe stuff). My only real requirement is a good camera. I loved my Viewty so I don't know whether to try and have this repaired (3 said it would be £19) or just try and pick up another handset from ebay or somewhere. I don't want tied in to a long contract and don't want to pay too much for a handset. Any ideas of a decent handset/where to pick one up? Thanks in advance.

Maybe should've said, 3 have offered SE G502, K660i or LG KF310 for £10pm on 18 month contract but for what I can see these cameras aren't as good as Viewty and I don't want a long contract.

    Ask for the Sony C510 - Sony have the best cameras in mobiles in my opinion. Dont even think of the Legalised Garbage.

    A while back there were 6 month deals with Three - if you dont want long contract, time to look somewhere else, 12 month contracts out there but usually with cashback. Three don't do 12 months (shame).
  • Thanks Oneaday. I used to be really up to date with phones and always have the latest model but that all went out the window when my babies came along, lol! I'm a SAHM at the moment so I'm not sure I'd be offered a new contract with a new network since I've no income. I'll phone 3 back and see if they'll give me the Sony you mentioned. Thanks for the advice.
