Phone for £200

funkyphantom · 31 Jan 2010 at 16:42

Hi guys, could anyone spec me a phone for £200 or less. I Dont mind buying 2nd hand. Would rather touch screen so long as its a decent touch screen using a decent operating system. Which rules out windows mobile as i cant get on with it. Already have it on my Omnia. Must be able to use '3g' internet too. Id love an iphone, but i think sadly they're out of my price range. What would you recommend?

Thanks

Now that the T-Mobile Pulse has disappeared, I'd suggest that you have a look at the Nokia 5800 and 5230 - available PAYG for £160 and £100 respectively.

The LG GW620, due in February, might touch down in your price range.

It's out now, only on contract.

Well the X6 is due in February, see if that's on PAYG. And the Pulse isn't gone forever, i believe it's coming back at some point if not being replaced by another PAYG android phone.

Also you can get an HTC Tattoo for under £200 can you not?

Nokia have announced the 16GB variant for £299.99 SIM-free, so it might just make the £200 mark.

I haven't seen it anywhere recently on PAYG. It should be just a smidge over £200 SIM-free though. EDIT: Spotted for £196.74 at an OCUK competitor.

Yeah, i was talking about SIM free. I'm hoping T-Mobile do a massive 50% off on the X6 (launch day or something), like when you could get a Pulse for under £100.

Although not exactly new and not a smartphone, I'd recommned the Samsung Jet
