URGENT Advice needed in buying a phone PLS!!

1 replies · 2,869 views · Started 04 May 2008

hi and thanks for a brilliant forum. I would be grateful if someone could help me choose a phone. I'm not looking for anything spectacular and also i don't want any contracts, unless they are extremely cheap to take on.

Currently I have a nokia 6230i, but it is fairly old, the screen is damaged and the battery loses its charge, so i think now is the time to upgrade to another PAYASGO phone. Most likely whichever phone i decide to buy, it will have to be off ebay i assume??? of course if someone knows where i can buy a cheap new mobile, then that would be great!

Compulsary Requirements

1. A good battery life
2. A LOUD tone as i'm hard of hearing
3. Must NOT be a touch-screen
4. Price must be within �100 bracket as i am on a limited budget

Requirements which are not compulsary, but would be an additional bonus

1. Prefer a flip phone because with current phone i tend to press answer/reject buttons which is a nuisance
2. Tend to like nokias as 1st choice and samsungs as 2nd
3. Prefer a SMARTPHONE
4. Large screen
5. Good Camera, possibly with flash
6. Large amount of memory storage

Any help at all is MUCH APPRECIATED!

thanks
