My D500 is completely b0rked, the screen had been displaying some really weird colours and just sticking on each page and last night it finally died on me giving me the BSOD! I need a new phone for around £60-70 mark any suggestions?

Been looking at the Samsung E250, any got it and think its good?

See if you can get a second hand D600.

Got an e250, and I think it's great!

Very similar to the d900 but the camera is only 640x480 but you get a fm radio instead. Well worth the dosh!!

Mint thanks for that, my dad took my D500 apart and found that the screen connection was a bit loose and it now works fine. Still a bit weary of it though, bought a new battery a few months ago because the old one wasn't holding its power - I have to almost power up everyday now. I may still consider getting that E250.

If you can stretch to around £80 and don't mind a 'candybar' style handset then the Sony-Ericsson K750i is worth a look, decent camera, expandable memory, radio, mp3 capability although you'll need a new memory card if you want to store more than a few. It feels solidly built, the only problem is the joystick can become a bit dodgy but for all I know they may have solved the problem with later revisions of the phone.
