What phone to get?

Ok I have about £90 to spend. Not looking for a brand new phone so second hand is fine. Just sold my Nokia 5800 so looking for a replacement.

Would prefer a Sony Ericsson and to avoid a Samsung I hate them. Would like a phone with a 3.5mm headphone jack on it. Anything over 3mp for the camera is fine. To be honest i am not to bothered but a nice camera is a bonus.

I have not sent the 5800 yet as it only sold last night. I dont mind it but i miss the Sony's.

So should I keep the 5800 or if not any suggestions on a phone?

Cheers

Re: What phone to get?

Not sure I can recommend a Vivaz at all. I tried my sisters. Didn't like it.

While I have been a fan of SE (in fact, I've owned more SE phones than any other brand), the Vivaz is not, IMO, a good phone.

While the screen, camera and video playback are excellent, the touch screen is almost non-responsive and the UI feels like they suddenly realised two days before release that they had no OS for the phone, and quickly hacked Nokia's S60 to run on the phone.

Regardless though I only have a £90 budget. The Vivaz is not £90

Re: What phone to get?

Why don't you get a O2 contact might work out cheaper for you?

The LG Cookie is meant to be a nice phone.

Re: What phone to get?

Think I am going for the Sony Ericsson W995. I can get it for about £130 second hand. So that will do me I think. Going to have a look in a few mobile phone shops and see if I can haggle a bit to

Thanks alot guys
