    I'm looking for a new phone, either unlocked or for O2 with a maximum price of €100.

    I've taken the questions from the sticky in this forum.

    * What features are important to you in a phone? (i.e. camera, gps, FM radio, Stereo Bluetooth):
    GPS would be nice, there is nothing specific I require other than basic functionality.

    * Form factor - i.e. touchscreen, slider, flip phone, etc.:
    Don't care

    * Internet - is 3G/mobile internet important, or WiFi/EDGE:
    3G would be nice, do I have to upgrade my sim card though?

    * Operator - have you an operator preference:
    02

    * Pre-pay/Bill-pay/SIM-Free - have you a preference for either :
    Pre-Pay

    * Price range:
    0-100

    From looking at the O2 sites upgrade options, the LG KS360 at €99 caught my eye

    Don't touch that lg with a bargepole its really buggy and sure to give u a headache...

    If ur prepay I'd be jumping at meteors deal at the moment before it finishes, 131 free credit and a nokia 3210c for 79.. The same phones 99 on 02 and you'll only get 35 upgrade credit..

    I shows how long it been since I bought a phone.

    I see I can avail of the generous free credit with new phone when joining a provider but still keep my old number. Times have changed.

    I rarely use my phone for calls / texts to be honest so it makes little difference to me what provider I am on as I don't use it enough to see the consequences of any particular price plan.

    I'd be very interested if I could find something with GPS, then add some routing software / at the very least Google Maps, to use the phone as a sat nav.
