I went out on a mission to find one of those last week and got a Nokia 2650 from phones4u for 29.99 last week. They only do them on Orange. They're quite nice too, wee flip phone great colour screen but not too gay I lost my SE K700i and am NOT forking out that much money again for something I won't use!

If you only use £10 in calls per annum then you wont be taking it out much to look at it.

What do you expect for less than 40quid? Mind you, I don't really care what it looks like, since I got I it's been dropped numerous times, been covered in baby sick (note the plastic cover stops it goig in between the buttons ) and out in the rain!

Why do you want a colour screen if you have no camera? Surely thats a gimmick that a phone doesnt really need?

Cant wait for youre reply

The requirement for a good colour screen is because I can read the texts easier!!

Anyway, I have narrowed it down to the Sony Ericson J300i (NOT the Pink one!!)

Comments on the Sony??

It's £39:99
