Want a cheap to maintain but good phone i.e. has internet, camera included.

Any ideas?

I have a Samsung Tocco atm which ironically is having issues as I speak- getting same messages off people 4 times which is getting annoying! and it froze earlier on the camera, wouldn't respond!

Thanks.

    The Sydney is not an improved San Francisco, you're thinking of the Monte Carlo.

    Prices from Orange site:

    Sydney: £49.99
    San Francisco: £104.99
    Monte Carlo: £149.99

    All + £10 top up. 10% discount for NHS employees and some others I believe, and it might get a discount as an existing customer if you phone and ask.

    Guy from orange recommended nokia c3 touch and type, so i've gone with that. £12.50 a month with internet, minutes and texts. Not too bad considering I get first few months free as my phone fund was £53! Also I spend £50 a month on payg apparently so this should save me! lol.

    Only problem is 24 month contract but oh well, was never going to change company anyway. Orange will do :)

    How many minutes and texts, and how much internet?

    I bought a Nokia C3 Touch and Type phone for my Mum and it was awful, the worst of both keyboard and touch screen!

    Orange and T-Mobile are giving £121.20 cash back if you order through Topcashback by the way.
