Can anyone recommend a pay as you go camera phone that is approx �100-�150 that is an excellent choice?

I bought a Sagem my-X7 in June for 110 notes, but that was sale price. Its around 150 now in argos. Its not a flip fone, isnt tiny either...but you shouldnt be worried about that.

Its got a smashing camera in it, with a good sized screen. Takes short video clips (20-30 seconds). Has a fair sized internal memory. Has a voice recorder, which can be used to record music and set as your ringtone. You can also access the web to check ur hotmails etc.

My advice too would be to buy it with an o2 sim card as they dont lock their phones, and if you later want to change to orange or vodafone, you can just put the sim in. If however, you are putting an old sim card into it so you can keep your numer, you will need to contact your network to update your settings (so you can send/receive picture messages).

The Sony T630 below it is quite good also, but i prefer the screen on the Sagem, and most importantly feel that the sagem has much more user-friendly navagation/interface.

Phew.

I bought a Sony Ericsson T610 a few months ago, because it had the best spec, including ability to email pix (rather than just being restricted to sending to another camera phone) plus its tri-band.

 

Pay as you go with Virgin, who give excellent service.

 

It cost me 119.99 then, just checked and see its reduced to 109.99, and if you buy online theres an extra 20 quid off, making it �89.99 plus �15 free airtime.
