    Ok, new phone...

    My w850i broke(someone stood on it ) and so i guess its a new phone time. I think my budget will be between £50- £100(cheaper better obviously). Heres what im looking for:

    Reliable
    Hard wearing(within reason)
    Good camera
    Stylish
    On orange network or unlocked
    Picture messaging(thats basic now though)
    Doesnt need:

    To be touch screen
    Media support

    Any recommendations are appreciated, cheers.

    It depends how important the camera is to you as a lot of phones still have a 2MP

    LG KS360 is quite a robust little phone with a slide out keyboard :

    G600 is another one but is a bit more expensive due to it having a 5 MP camera, I have found that the battery on them isn't the best though :

    Ericsson W302, just new out but seems pretty robust, most Ericsson are :

    Or you could possibly look out for a Nokia 6300, good all round little phones. I know someone who accidentaly drove over theirs and all it done was scratch up the casing and crack the outer screen. It still worked afterwards just looked a little worse for wear! :

    Re: Ok, new phone...

    Well i think the camera is quite important, im trying not to buy a digital camera as if its anything special i have a SLR avaible but for on the moment things i wouldnt have this hence the need for a good camera. The g600 is quite expensive for what you get which made me think of getting an LG viewty again but is there any new phones due out soon?. Its more about the lense used than the mega pixels which shows in alot of phones.

    If you have been looking at the Viewty which is becomming more and more difficult to get hold of a good alternative is the LG Cookie, its a lot more stylish than the Viewty and slimmer.

    Re: Ok, new phone...

    If you don't mind grabbing a second hand, go for a Viewty through eBay. There camera is awesome and it's touch screen too. I've dropped mine a few times and it's still good going. However, it's not very customizable and therefore you can't really say it's that stylish. Well the actual design is pretty stylish if I'd say so. (I like it more than the Cookie and Renoir in terms of design, also more than the Pixon).

    If you don't wanna get something like a Viewty, then maybe a Nokia as they're known for their build quality I think. Personally I don't like Nokias. (Just don't like the software and designs)

    If you're into music then a Walkman phone would be a must. I love the W series sliders. However, their camera isn't as good though. They're really stylish though.

    If the camera is the most important point then get one of the 5MP Cybershot SE phones. Not sure if it'll be under £100 though... Would have to check current prices.

    Hope that helped a bit.
