I am on a PAYG orange tariff at the moment, but I really want a decent, but inexpensive, camera phone, without having to change my number or network provider. :confused: I know very little about phones, but have seen a Virgin LG KE500, 2MP camera at half price for £49.99! Is this a decent enough camera and phone, at a good price? I would be grateful of any advice or recommendations, and also is it possible to keep me my orange network and number?? Many thanks in anticipation of your help:beer:

    If its an orange phone just fire your simcard in

    Is the KE500 the chocolate?

    If it is it never really took off despite a major media campaign, make what you want of that

    Personally Id go for the nokia 5300? on O2, free texts with each top up and 49.99 to buy

    I've had one of these for over a year now, and am reluctant to change it. Its got a 3.2mp camera, but more importantly a zenon flash, so its every bit as good as a normal digital camera.

    I really cannot recommend it highly enough!

    I'll second that.

    I has one and now have a K810i which has the same camera. The pictures are excellent for a phone.
    Hark at you going all strict :D

    It used to cost £190 so you got a bargain. It's a fantastic phone - enjoy!
