    How's it going guys I'm hoping to buy a new phone in the next day or two, just looking for a few recommendations based on the following criteria.
    • Would like a phone with a fair bit of built-in memory, radio, mp3 player and not to bothered about the camera.
    • Don't mind if its touchscreen or whatever.
    • Prepay.
    • I am currently with o2 but don't mind switching if it means I can get more free credit.
    • Wifi would be nice but not if I have ta pay much for it.
    • Under 120 preferably
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Look at getting a Sony Ericsson c905 on eBay, comes with a 8meg camera wifi and 4gb memory card!

    I sold mine on eBay a few months back, that's the kind of cash it made

    My god when will people ever realise that in the realm of ordinary GSM/3G phones there is no such thing as "only available on such a network" or "only available on prepaid"?

    Every phone can be unlocked, can most likely be bought unlocked and it is *not* more expensive. Higher initial purchasing cost is merely a short term thing


    You do not need the network in order to buy a phone

    Adverts.ie, expansys, ebay all have plenty of unlocked phones at reasonable prices


    No need to allow yourself be gouged by a network who provides a crippled, locked handset with a 12 month tie in
