Which phone should i get?

yeah, look on ebay for an iphone. theres some pretty good deals on there.

if you're buying second hand make sure to get the IMEI before paying, and then call the phone carrier to make sure the phone's not stolen otherwise it's most likely blacklisted and you cannot activate it.

This is very good advice for buying a phone off eBay ^^

Most iPhones still seem out of budget, even 3G models go for around £200. You could probably get one in poor condition or a first generation iPhone for £150 on eBay though.

Nokia N95 and N96, HTC Touch Diamond, HTC Touch Pro and the T-Mobile G1 are all good phones to consider getting second hand.

Not that it matters, but what mobile network are you with? Some do pretty good exchange deals etc. :)

Samsung genio Slide/touch orr look for an older model of the iPhone :)

Because he wants a smartphone judging by the specs in the first post, he seems like the sort of person who'd want to tinker with things. Also smartphones tend to be more powerful so you'd have a better experience browsing and using gps and stuff on a smartphone :)

@hoteluser seriously stop trolling its not fun "/ Just because you don't like blackberries doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't want one, I know many people that are happy with their blackberries including myself.

Chill guys.. Anyway, thank you so much for your advices and recommendations. I think i am planning to get a Samsung Jet. It looks really cool.

Gona have to agree. Dave just because you don't like Blackberrys doesn't mean other people shouldn't get one. I have one and I'm perfectly happy with it. Yes it might not be the perfect phone but for the price and contract that I got with it, and the fact that it is a smartphone and a good one at that is enough for me. It probably isn't as good as an iphone but it cost me a lot less than an iphone would have.

And yeah I got my Blackberry 9700 for £28 a month. It has all of that bar Touch screen which is upto you really but it's a good phone.

I'm not trolling. Crapberries are just that: crap. The blackberry operating system (which is getting yet again revised might I mention due to continued crappiness) is better suited to run on my wrist watch. It loses in most every category. I can't even get a decent web browser on the thing let alone have any sort of sufficient application store. It's just a horrible device that's holding us back, and if you have a blackberry I truly honestly do feel sorry for you, because in my god honest opinion you did infact get ripped off.
