Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / UK Photography / July 2007sub £100 phone with decent camera?
Any tips on a vanilla (Virgin PAYG) camera with a half-decent camera (and a way of getting pictures off the camera for free e.g. removable SD card)? A year and a half ago I bought my nipper a Samsung slider phone which he's taken some decent pictures on. It was only £50 (but was only on Orange - I don't know if it could be unlocked) and it takes SDs - that's the sort of thing I'm looking for but wondered what else might be out there now. (Plenty of reviews for K800is and suchlike big/rich boys' toys but are there cheaper alternatives?)

You are mistaken. You're thinking of the w800.

I don't want it unlocked from Virgin: their PAYG is OK for me (don't get me started on their rebranded NTL broadband offering though :-)) SignatureJohn Stumbles I'm less competitive than you > Any tips on a vanilla (Virgin PAYG) camera with a half-decent camera (and > a way of getting pictures off the camera for free e.g. removable SD card)? [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > (Plenty of reviews for K800is and suchlike big/rich boys' toys but are > there cheaper alternatives?) the k750i takes nice photos too - albeit only 2 megapixel and no real flash - but then that's why the 800 costs more. still - it can give nice results.
