Best phone for under £100???

[Smoj]

Hi guys,

This has been driving me crazy! I am looking for a phone for £100 or less on pay as you go.

I have looked at loads of phones but not sure which is best?

Phone needs:

1) Good MP3 player
2) Audio Jack socket 3.5mm
3) Reasonable camera and basic web browsing like Facebook and BBC news website would be a plus

I almost went for the Sony Ericsson Zylo, but then realised it didn't have a 3.5mm socket. This makes no sense to me - as the much cheaper Sony Ericsson Spiro does?

The Spiro looks reasonable due to its price of £30, but it's slightly basic and low end of my budget.

Any ideas will be appreciated!

Thanks,
SMoJ

android (with community created roms) 3.5mm headphone socket, and will be a good web browser.

can't go wrong.

Wow!........

You get a lot for your money! & it has got really good reviews......

Thinks I might go for it, do you think the mp3 sound quality will be good through some decent headphones? I presume it should be pretty good? Good shout on recommending this phone!

Thanks

orange:SF its actually an awesome phone in its own right and considering its less than 1/4 of the price of iphone it cant help but be a complete bargain also if your registered with Quidco (free cashback website) you can get £12 (£7 for new user) back if you buy directly from orange online shop. phone is not cheaper elsewhere, im an avid hotukdeals user i would know if it was, and as if that wasnt enough a free Xmas gift pack with a nice LTD brand watch, rubix cube, playing cards, phone sock and a few other tidbits such as free ringtones.

[its also very easy to unlock this phone takes about 20 seconds the following website can provide the unlock code for free too and i can verify that it works and i have so far unlocked 2 O:SF thanks to the site. http://www.nextgenserver.com/calculator/
you will need to put in a non-orange sim card to access the unlock code menu in the O:SF]

hope this helps -merry xmas

I use a orange san fransico (retired my old 2G iphone) and apart from the battery life its very very good.

Yeah I bought San Francisco almost 2 weeks ago and have to say its a very good phone.

Unlocked the phone after about a week which was nice and simple and only cost 99p.

The phone is such good value for money! Still cant believe how good the screen is.

Only bad point is Orange didn't give me the £10 credit I bought with the phone (which I'm still chasing that up).

Can’t fault the phone apart from the mp3 player could be a bit louder... but sound quality is very good.


Thanks 4 the recommendation!
Great phone
