Brother wants Sub £100 3G phone any ideas?

Hi there

My brother is after a phone for no more than £100, and wants 3G, a camera on it and so forth (general good phone) and a reliable one. He's looking at the LG GW520 is this a decent choice (about £89)

He's also looked at the "Tocca lite" also but wants 3G/internet on the move etc..

thanks

Tony

LG Pop? If they can wait a little then the T-Mobile Pulse Mini should be coming out for £99 PAYG, and hopefully the Acer e110 priced similarly.

Nokia 5230. Absolutely the best value phone in the sub-£100 space. Available for £78.85 + mandatory £10 top-up at Carphone Warehouse. You get a fully-functional smartphone with a large good-resolution touchscreen and GPS with free satnav. Downsides are a rather limited camera and no wifi.

EDIT: I think the phone should come unlocked. FYI, you can get £5 Quidco cashback.

Oh, i thought it did have 3G. My suggestions about those android phones still stand though.

They do have 3G, I'm assuming Antx777 is confusing 3G for "Three" (network).

LG Pop doesn't have 3G
