Typical price: £20
What is it: Budget music phone with an expandable microSD card
What we think: It's really cheap and it looks cute, but it's so basic you might be left disappointed

We like:
Dedicated music keys; expandable microSD card slot
We don't like:
Lack of camera; no 3.5mm adaptor
CNET.co.uk judgement:
If all you need is a phone that makes calls, sends text messages and plays your favourite MP3s, then the OT-E801 is worth a look. We'd recommend spending more on something more sophisticated, but if £20 is all you have to splash, you can't complain too much
