Hi all,
I have just sold my Desire HD to free up some cash and have decided to venture back into the world of SE after many years of using different phones.
Basically I have about £100-£120 to spend and wondered which phones people would suggest. Obviously I am open to new and second hand phones.
Things I need WiFi, 3G, Camera, Memory Card slot.
Let me know which you think.

Elm. Got one off ebay for £77 after I'd had enough of my Satio's stupid touch screen. Can't fault the Elm yet. |

First thing that pops my mind is Hazel and Elm. A second hand C905, W995 or Aino are available too.

I would also recommend the Elm, it offers all the basic features you need, it's not the best feature phone out there but it's not bad for the price.

What are the viewing angles like on the Hazel? (screen getting light/dark when looked at from left/right) The elm has terrible viewing angles

But still not the best I assume. The iPhone 4 has perfect viewing angles, hope we see more IPS displays on phones in future

Thanks for the replies everyone.
What are your opinions of the Sony Ericsson G900? I always wanted to try one when they first came out and was thinking now might be the perfect oportunity to pick one up.
Let me know.

I had a red g900 a while ago. Nice phone but camera and led light was a bit poor. There was also reported problems with the touchscreen not working but I never had that issue with mine.
I was thinking of buying another one myself as there was a seller on ebay selling the red version for 105 delivered but the listing ended and they havent put anything back up.
Ps. I was being serious about the mini pro btw

Thanks for the offer Rookwise but unfortunately I am not a fan of the mini pro.
I have decided to use this opportunity in one of two ways.......either spend around £150 and get a second hand BB Pearl 9105 or a SE Aino. Or get a phone that I always craved but could never afford at the time.......Nokia Sirocco, W980, G900 that sort of thing.
I do like the look of the Aino though especially the white one. Any opinions?
Thanks

What is it like as a phone? Does it work well? Menu smooth?
The last Sony Ericsson I had was the P990i which put me off them for awhile and now I have decided to venture back. I hope it's the right choice
