would like a phone with bluetooth or at least an infrared connection

I'd say the myc4-2 would be good for her (99). it doesn't have bluetooth or infra-red but its a nice little phone.

the cheapest bluetooth phone is the k700 at 129. important specs:
radio
camera w/ flash
video
bluetooth
infra-red
40mb memory (no memory card but what do you expect for 129).

the k700 is the best phone around for the money but the myc4-2 looks nicer and is 30 quid cheaper. if you can stretch to it get the k700

Few things you might want to include
Vodafone, O2 or Meteor etc?
PAYG or Billpay?

Clearly you aren't very up to date with the cost of phones

You won't get any sort of a decent phone with bluetooth for 100. For that price you'll get all of the lower ends phones aimed at younger teenagers and people who don't care much for features like the j300i, Sagem my x5-2, 3200, etc.

Speaking of which actually for under 100 you can get the 3200 on all networks. It has infra-red and a radio but its a crap phone.

For 129 you can Get a Sony Ericsson k700i. Fantastic phone with radio, bluetooth, high quality vga camera and great memory capacity.

You'd want to be looking to spend closer to 200 for any sort of a decent Nokia phone with Bluetooth really....

edit: The k700i doesn't have a flash as someone mentioned above but it does have a better then nothing led light of sorts.

The above is based on the assumption that you are looking for rtg phones...

And why not try the second hand market? 150-ish will get you a lovely phone with bluetooth and all the trimmings in most cases. Sometimes even cheaper. 120-130 should get you a Nokia 6230, lovely little phone with good camera, radio and bluetooth.

i know its an led but its classed as a flash. its the best there is on a phone

Surely Flash means just that: A Flash. Not a constant poor led light.

But Fair enough, if thats what they call it.....;)

The Sharp GX higher class Series all have Decent Lights on them, with varying colours, I always loved that about them

Some of the newer Motos have leds as well, like the E1000.

Nothing beats a proper flash though like on the 6680. But a led is much better then nothing. Does come in handy

Yes but my point was -

The k700i doesn't have a "flash". Its a constant led light that you either turn on or off.

The 6680 has a real flash, i.e, it gives a decent flash upon taking picture

Think thats clear enough

i'd go with the nokia 3200 or 3220 they're around €80-90 and include €80 free call credit

don't. the 3200 is a piece of crap and the rubber things rub off every 3220 within weeks
