mobile phone query

[rsvp]

spend hours trawling the net to find out things but usually end up here to get a sensible solution.
Always pre-empt any answers with ' I am a technophobe so simple answers please'
Would kind abers please recommend a simple, easy to use payg (vodafone) mobile which does what it says on the tin. Don't want fancy thingies (a camera would be nice though - big screen) - not too expensive, looks good and doesn't have fiddly keys. Is it necessarily expensive to have a querty keyboard?
Thank you, have been on ebay and amazon and am punch drunk.

I find Nokia's are very easy to use. Try Tesco.

[rsvp]

thanks ummmm - will look at those.

That is the trouble with too much choice, one gets to s state not knowing which way to jump.

Unsure I quite understood, you refer to Vodafone so you are hoping to save money by getting a handset locked into them ? If so the best bet might be to look at what the Vodafone website is offering first before deciding and then searching for a best price.

I think the cheaper they re the fewer extra functions they offer.

No one can get cheap QUERTY keypads as my spare one testifies. I just tried a few shops on the highstreet and found a cheap unlocked one to tide me over when my previous one broke.

Er...

"No; one can get"
Not
"No one can get"

I'm sure that has caught me out before.

[ummmm]

Tesco also do decent PAYG deals if you decide against vodafone. They triple your credit every month.

thank for the OG - I really don't want to split the atom on my mobile but do think that if I had a user friendly one I would maybe use it a little more - will check out the vodafone web site -thank you

[rsvp]

oohh - now you've got me thinking ummmm - thank you.

[rsvp]

have just re-read your post OG - no, not necessarily looking to save money - just looking for value for money

Don't buy on eBay, and personally I would use Amazon either
If you must buy on line use places like o2, Carphone Warehouse etc

You could look in CW for a SIM free cheap mobile that way you get a larger choice of cheaper phone

I like my easy to use Samsung. you can change the QWERTY keyboard to a number pad for texts in it's settings very easily. Nice camera, little apps you can download to make life simpler

Asda also have great deals

thanks ojread2 - have bought one phone but it was faulty so have returned it - now awaiting another - one with a querty keypad which should make texting easier.
