Phone reccomendations...

Sometime between RnB and BdB me phone has started to crash and pretty much died at BdB.

So I'm looking for a new phone. I'd prefer one with a flip or similar front so I can be lazy and don't have to lock/unlock it, though this isn't to much of an issue.

Otherwise it needs to be able to make calls and be small, don't really care about other fancy bits, though I'd be tempted by another sl45 for the mp3 player.

Any suggestions, preferably under £100 second hand.

depends G, you looking for pay as u go phone, new contract or just a handset? you'll get the best handsets well cheap, if not free on new contracts, pay as u go is still pricey. What features u after? camera? games? etc...

Sorry, it needs to be on virgin or Sim Free.

Don't really care about 'features'... providing I can use it as a phone:

if you want a decent flip style phone go for Samsung T100, cant beleive no one suggested it when you said you wanted one with a flip. i got one. its well cool, and the 2 screens are well handy. the colour main screen is high resolution and you can download any picture from your comp to act as your background Twisted Evil

So your own bike then? Laughing

To look at the T100, it looks fairly flimsy, but trust me, ive dropped mine so many times and only got a couple little cratches on it. comes with 2 batteries too (handy since they're 20+ quid each)

Check it out, its cheap on contract (i paid 30 odd quid) and it looks cool as a phone could look.

Worth a look

I had an ericsson T39 last, good solid phone, very droppable. Sold it on ebay when i upgraded to my siemens SL55.

Other cheap flip phones... can't think of any. I always get flip phones, has the samsung A100 which was fantastic, but i killed it when it got wet in my pocket in the rain. Got an A300 after that, which was shit, fuck all battery life. I'd be inclined to think the new samsungs are similar for battery.

Lots of cheap phones out there, go have a look on ebay.
