Need help with this one very quick!

Whats your phone? Would you recommend it?

My BT Verve 450 has broken down, the battery just suddenly doesn't work anymore. Seeing as it was fine right up until it just suddenly died I doubt its in need of a new battery, its more likely its broken.

I replaced it with a basic Tesco Value phone which is pretty bad! It makes everyone calling sound like aliens and then cuts out mid call, sometimes wont let me make calls and also does not have an answer phone. (Its faulty and is going back asap.)

I need a phone with...

an answer phone
a loud speaker
that is cordless
possibly best if I can pick up from Tescos

The BT Verve wasn't actually so good, the loud speaker didn't work, it looked good otherwise though but I am wary of this model so wouldn't get another.

Any advice would be great, I need it to be affordable but aware I am not going to get decent quality for nothing.
