Cheap Phone

I'm after a cheap phone that takes microSD memory cards.

Preferably with a decent screen, and 3g/hsdpa but those are very much not a necessity, cheaper the better

*Sigh* I am in the same boat, would like a cheap payg phone (that is just a phone, sms and calls) that can be used anywhere in the world, but no replies

HTC Smart sounds up your street, but it's not out yet...

Nokia 5800? Does the job, my gf has one and it's fairly good to be honest, very good indeed considering.

Samsung C3050?

£34.90 (with £10 credit) and comes unlocked from here

Cheapest phone I've seen that accepts Micro SD.

Is it another Android phone? If so not for me anyway.

Looks nice, can't find one that isn't a contract phone though (sorry I didn't say it needs to be sim free).

That isn't bad, not a huge fan of Samsung phones or sliders, but that might be worth a punt.

It is actually a suprisingly good phone (I am using one at the moment). Doesnt have 3G though

Can be had for less than £100 though

No, it runs Qualcomms BREW MP. From what we know already it's competing with the Samsung Genio, so hopefully similar prices.

I have no idea what that is, but the phone looks really good!

Damned annoying that all these places force you to buy £10 credit.
