What's A Good "Slide" Phone For Under £100?

I'm looking for a new phone, and quite like the looks of "Slide" phones, meaning the ones that slide the front away to reveal a keyboard underneath.

I was just wondering if you guys knew of any good Slide Phone for under £100. I'd prefer it to be on 02 and available in a Black colour if possible, but I guess it's not essential. I really don't know where to start when looking for this type of phone, and I want to try & get the best deal I possibly can, so hopefully you guys will be able to help me out, as I don't want to jump in & buy the first phone I find. I've seen a few around, but don't know if they're overpriced or are the best deal I can get for the price I'm willing to pay.

I'd appreciate some help, many thanks guys.

    My partner has a nokia x3. Hes not into all the newer smartphones but it does everything you need a phone to do. Its simple to use and he's never had any problems with it. It was around £89 from carphone warehouse
  • Hi, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the X3 isn't what I'm looking for as it doesn't have a QWERTY slide out keyboard. I know it's a "slide" phone, but it doesn't slide into a keyboard, just the number pad.

    Have you looked at the samsung genio slide?This has the slide out qwerty keyboard.
  • Nokia 6700 Slide available for £94.99 at prepaymania.co.uk on vodafone. The build quality is very good and has aluminium body.
  • Thanks guys, I think I'm going to go with the Genio Slide.
