Hi, my first 'moneysaving' post!!.:hello:

I'm looking for a decent camera phone, pay as you go or contract, but have no idea where to start. I text more than phone, are there any good deals about?

TIA

    Questions don't get much easier than that. Apparently you can now pick up the Soney Ericsson k750i for around £50. At the time it came out it was the best camera phone and even now only the k800i/10i or some of the dearer Samsungs are better. Besides, it's a fantastic phone too.

    agreed. the k750i is one of the best phones ever made by SE and has one of the best 2mp cameras around

    I agree about the Sony K750i, you can get one for less that £50 on O2 at Bargain crazy at the moment.

    Cheers,

    My mum's got that phone, and she's pleased with it.

    I've had a good surf and can't find it anywhere cheaper than £70, and can't find it on Bargain Crazy, am I looking in the wrong places.

    get your sim, before you top it up ring up customer services and ask to go on online text anytime
    a texter after a camera phone will love that combo, if i didn't have a d600 and a contract i would go for it
    things arent the way they were before, you wouldnt even recognise me anymore- not that you knew me back then ;)

    My teenage son (fussy) bought (birthday) a K750i when it was £80 and has been delighted since.

    The photos are easily better than my 3MP N80.. the lens/autofocus does the trick. It's also a great all rounder for music & browsing is ok with opera mini.

    Absolutely no qualms about recommending it for £50... go for it!

    Oh apart from SE's tardy support of Vista, that's all........
