A good mobile phone

which can play music and take decent pictures for around 40 quid.
Ideally sony erikson or Nokia, or I am free for suggestions.
Any ideas where I best look for this phone?

Thanks for help and advise;)

    Do you mean they just sell the phone for this price and will not flog me with a contract?
    I have a great deal for a contract so only need the phone. Is Virgin the only place I can buy it from?

    for a total sum of £53 it is a PAYG phone with no ties or contract. You are free to do what you want with it. It is a very good value.

    The price include ...

    phone £40 make sure you get a free 200 free minutes voucher
    PAYG sim card £10. you will actually get two sim cards. Use the one in a CD case. It has £5 credit
    Delivery £3

    total £53

    go for it. I have bought 3 already for the family and they love it for the tv, radio and as a mp3 player. You can fit a 2G memory card to store large amount of music

    Oh no!!!!!!!!
    I was going to buy it today after spending the weekend thinking about it.
    Now where else could I try that gives me a warranty and a good phone.
    I seem to be plagued by bad luck.
    Any other suggestions?

    I am baffled!
    How do you see the offer?
    Do you have to log in first and then go through the offers as when I look at the page now I only see it advertised for £99.

    Where did you see that?
