Hello all, i'm in need of some advice..

In the last week or so, my phone has decided that it wants to keep switching off and locking up (w910i), and so i have decided to finally purchase a touchscreen phone for myself.

Now, i have been doing a fair amount of research, and i do like the look of the Samsung models currently available, but i have read both good and bad 'reviews' about pretty much every handset that catches my eye.

Basically, I'd like to have the following;

decent camera
wifi
3g
easy to use interface
reliable (no crashing etc) and easy to update
fair amount of apps available would be a plus too!

I first looked at the Tocco, but i was put off by its age considering its price. I then considered the Tocco Lite, which doesn't meet my criteria, and also the S5560 which has everything apart from 3g.

So, i then started reading up on the jet, but i'm put off by reading the thread in the Samsung section about connection problems and the fact that i'd need to update firmware myself instead of just plugging it into the laptop and it doing it on its own.. Have never liked all that techie stuff, bit worried i'd balls it up!

Anyway, have i missed any handsets at less than £200 PAYG that are worth considering?

I also need advice on which network gives best internet inclusive deals.

I'd love to be able to afford an Iphone and the such, but it's just not affordable right now..

Thankyou in advance

Nokia 5800 and change to spare.
HTC Hero second hand.
Or up your budget a little and get a second hand iPhone 3G.

With £200... I'd buy a second hand HTC Hero.

Top end of your budget mate, but I'd say go for the Samsung Jet.

Very smart handset, has all the things you are specifying.

Not sure if you've ever used it before but if you go to GSMArena.com - GSM phone reviews, news, opinions, votes, manuals and more... you can check all the specs out for the phones you like.

Hope this helps.

i'd go for a used 3G Iphone..should be able to bag one for around the £200 mark (if your lucky)..
Head and shoulders above the rest (IMO)..

i'm not a fan of second-hand stuff, especially electronical, so i made the plunge for the jet, and i have to say i'm exceedingly happy with my choice!

thankyou all for your help!
