Mobile Phone recommendation

Hello,

My girlfriends birthday is coming up and her phone is knackered so I am going to get her a new one.

I am unsure of my budget yet but I not willing to spring for an i-phone. Anyone any suggestions?

Id like it to be a nokia but not essential and have wifi capabilities if possible.

Cheers

What features are important to you in a phone? (i.e. camera, gps, FM radio, Stereo Bluetooth) - Camera i guess, em......easy texting ability?!?, whatever features a girl uses on their phone. Im pretty clueless on the matter, and shes not much more informed.

Form factor - i.e. touchscreen, slider, flip phone, etc. - Touchscreen would be cool but i read on another thread they can be bad for texting. No flippy/slidey stuff please

Internet - is 3G/mobile internet important, or WiFi/EDGE - Wifi would be what i would be looking for

Pre-pay/Bill-pay/SIM-Free - have you a preference for either - Prepay

Price range - $250?!!? - Yet to be decided really

well at your budget my choice would be HTC Wildfire...dont think you can get it from any network here on PAYG but you can find brand new ones sim free on adverts.ie

heres a review it also has sense on it so she can configue the texting keyboard she wants from qwerty to mini qwerty or phone keyboard

heres seems the only unused one might be locked to meteor ill add something else if it comes across my mind
