Hi
I currently have a Samsung s7350 which I need to replace mainly due to the battery not even lasting a day!
I would like to get a blackberry but at the moment funds are tight so thats on the back burner. (although there is one on ebay weekly deals at the mo but it's on Tmobile)
I want a phone with a qwerty keyboard (text ALOT) and if possible a camera with a flash, althought thats not essential.
I use my mobile alot for t'internet, mainly facebook sometimes MSN.
I have put in to 'recycle' my current one and can get £43 for it, so I'm looking at about £100 mark for the phone.
Anyone got any reccomendations?

Oh by the way I am on o2 network and would really like it if the phone accepts micro SD memory card.

    hello :)

    micro sd format is used by all makes except sony ericcson, they have their own formats.

    there are very few qwerty keyboard phones on the market, there was the lg ks360 which was crap, and there is a samsung genio qwerty which cpw sell but i have no idea if it is any good or not, that looks very much like a cut price blackberry.
    things arent the way they were before, you wouldnt even recognise me anymore- not that you knew me back then ;)

    I unlocked my BB 8100. The code was supplied free from O2. You can get codes to unlock them on Ebay and other online retailers.
