PAYG mobile wanted for almost 21 year old lad. Touchscreen and decent camera are important as is internet ability. Has to 'look cool' and not chunky, cheap or girly. :rolleyes:

Either on O2 or sim free. (Where we live, signal coverage is an issue especially for orange.)

I need to order something today otherwise he's not got a hope of getting it for Xmas.

Has a Samsung Tocca already. I think he'd like a Blackberry but he's not got a hope as the decent camera models are £400 roughly. Will cough up £200 ish or maybe £250. Suggestions please?

    I have seen hair replacement ads on tv - that might help?

    Nokia 5530 XpressMusic£99.99 but its not 3g - on O2 thats ok I think.

    Lol...can't help feeling it would be easier. :)

    The camera on the 5530 is 'only' a 3.2 ......his exisitng one is a 5 mega pixel so I wouldn't go lower than that I think. I may have to revise my expectations or spending I think.

    I found a Samsung Jet....anyone any opinions on that?
