Hi, hoping someone can help. Does anyone know of a website where you can enter your requirements for a phone and it will give you suggestions? Where I could stipulate that I want a phone with wifi, ordinary non-qwerty keypad, good internet access, email facility and camera? Or if anyone knows of a phone like that, that would be good too! Thanks.

    http://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3

    http://www.omio .com/deals/pay-as-you-go has decent filters (hidden in the tabs)

    However, neither will filter by 'good internet acceess' that is meaningless.

    Hi,I suggest you buy xiaomi m2s phone
    Cellular: GSM+WCDMA
    CPU Cores: Quad-core
    OS: MIUI5+Android4.2
    CPU Frequency: 1.7GHz
    Camera: 13MP
    Battery:3100mAh
    it is a well configuration
    you can get the info from 365gate online store
  • I would look at one of the following:

    Sony Ericsson Elm
    Nokia E52 or E55
    BlackBerry Pearl 3G 9105

    They're all Wifi, with a physical numeric keypad, will support email and have a camera.

    They're pretty much the 'newest' phones before the wave of touchscreen android devices launched in about 2010.

    xiaomi produce good phone for its money. Unfortunately they haven't go international yet (although they do sell phone to Hong Kong and Taiwan)
    Xiaomi mi-2 has Snapdragon 600 processor, but only cost ~£210

    Yeh don't worry mate. I buy phones from China all the time so i know all about Xiaomi. They make excellent phones and they are much higher quality than some other "better known" brands.

    I was just picking on the obviously spam poster.

    But yeh, for the OP the websites listed above are good enough.

    It seems any smart phone can do the job.
    What is your budget?
    Do you want Android/ Windows/ Blackberry/ IOS?

    I think "ordinary non-qwerty keypad" means a physical keyboard.
