    If you have a spare £100, the Huawei Ascend G300, is by far the best value smart phone on the block at the moment. Easily unlocked, rooted and upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich.

    If the op had a razor its very basic, op goto carphonewarehouse and get a cheap pay as you go as they are unlocked
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    Buy S/h either unlocked or locked to your network, transfer the SIM and marvel how MSE you were!
