Going on my lunch in about two hours and I need to get a phone to tide me over until I can upgrade at the end of November.

Been used to a BlackBerry for yonks but had to revert to a Nokia 6230 as I moved jobs and don't get to use my mobile for personal use now! Can anyone suggest something that looks relatively decent for around £50?

You're primary criteria is that it looks good?!

And your headline for the thread is URGENT!!

I think you should maybe prioritise on getting a life first? rolleyes

Well I thought I'd help by using the obvious criteria of "Metrosexual Phone" in Google Images.

I found this:



Problem sorted; job's a good 'un. Back to lunch....

Stop teasing him. If he doesn't get a good looking phone this lunchtime, the world will implode!!!

I didn't mean the aesthetics, I was merely referring to the deal/package looking good!

I wanted a basic small phone with a radio to listen to whilst cycling to work. I got a Sony Ericisson T250i from CPW for £30 quid with £10 credit on O2 but they are unlocked so you can put any sim in them. Silver, small, looks good and battery lasts 4-5days.

I am on a contract and buying a PAYG phone made no difference.

Basically if you've only got to use it for a month why not go buy a 2nd hand one from a repairers or such-like?

If you only want it for 8 weeks, why not go to Asda or somewhere similar and get a Pay as you go for about £10?

My kids use 'Tesco Mobile' (O2 network in reality) and they are dirt cheap for PAYG - and you get clubcard points too! thumbup

Get a pay as you go from Tesco for about 30 spuds.
