Hi, I have a nokia 6100 which I have had for over a year now and want a new phone. My budget is around £300 but I want it on PAYG.
Basically I want a good looking phone with a 1MP + camera, nice display, fair amnount of storage but I don't need PDA functions etc, flash would also be nice.
Theres seem to be so many phones out there or that are jujst coming out I don't really know where to start.
Thanks, Nick. |

Wait for the SE K700. It has a mp camera + video play back and lots more extras.

wouldn't that be out of my price range though? Also I could do with a phone a bit earlier ideally. |

thanks for the info. When does the SE K700 come out again? Would it make sense to buy the SE T630 then seel it and buy the K700 when it comes out? Also on a side note, how much do you think I could get for my Nokia 6100 - good condition, box, instructions, charger etc.
Thanks for your help, Nick.
EDIT: hmm, the K700 doesn't have a megapixel camera does it? I like the looks of the K700 but the features of the S700. Are there any other future models (other than SE) to be looking out for?

@nicholarse - How about an old Samsung V200? It has a high-resolution colored screen. That is if you are not a die hard SE fan. It's a flip-type one too, maybe similar to an SE Z600 fone. |

apparantly the much awaited "T650" is still rumoured to be released...more memory, better camera but thats just a rumour for now.

thinking about going with the Sharp GX30 but on contract - much cheaper than PAYG/sim free, I've found it for £100 with £15 a month - anyone seen cheaper? Also are there any links or has anyone got any photos that the sharp GX30 has taken? And another thing, some places say the GX30 comes with 2mb memory others say 8mb - which is correct? Can you buy memory upgrades? If so how much? and how many photos can you store per mb?
Sorry for all the questions, thanks. |

as far as i know gx30 has 6mb and a 8 mb sd card included....
but that's not a problem considering that 256 mb sd cards are cheap...
anyway i would go for gx30, it has a fantastic camera and display definetly the best for imaging.... |

But does the gx30 have a flash? Also, the k700 has a vga cam and not a MP one.

I think I might sacrifice a flash. How many photos could I store (roughly) with a 256mb sd card using the GX30 highest res/image quality? thanks. |

As a rough estimate, more than a thousand.

K700 doesnt have flash, i thought it was just a light and not a flash, i could be mistaken though

It is not a true xenon flash but is similar to the light in the sendo x.
