Best PAYG phone £160

45 year old mum. She is stubborn and wont go on contract.

Last phone was N95 she likes here Ipod touch so she wants touchscreen.

She wants a Samsung Tocco Ultra but im trying to convince her that its a total waste of money at £160

i just got an HTC Tattoo off ebay for £110 - maybe look there?

I tried to convince her of the tattoo before but she doesn't like it. Instead she'd rather blow £160 on a rubbish dumbphone because it looks nice!

sell her ipod touch and put the money towards an iphone 3g . cant believe im recommending an iphone but it seems to make sense in this case

touch was an xmas pressie from my dad so she sint going to do that.

She couldnt afford an iphone 3GS either case.

This is great for the price, far better than my N97! at less than half the price!

What about the Samsung Jet, bit over budget at £199 though.

just phone the store near you and ask
i did and they have loads in the derby store
but after reading there not upgradeable from the android 1.5 i went for something else

The battery on the Pulse is beyond a joke. Just having it on overnight kills the battery.

if she likes the iphone, why not go for a second hand iphone 2g off ebay? i picked up a 16gb one last week for 150inc and love it

most go for a bit more, and just make sure you read it cos theres a loads of knackered ones on there

find a good one tho and it shouldnt cost you too much more, if shes gagging for the internet go for a 3g one but itll cost another 50 or 100 sheets
