Typical price: £15
What is it: A very simple and inexpensive phone with an electrophoretic display
What we think: This could have been one of the best budget phones we've seen so far, but its interface badly lets it down

| Review summary | Motorola almost made one of the best phones ever. It's cheap, it has a long battery life and it looks good. The only problem is that the Motofone F3's interface is very difficult to get used to and if you're looking for a phone that does more than make calls then you'll probably be disappointed Read full review |
The Sagem my150X handset from looks great and is easy to use. If you're looking for a super cheap Pay As You Go phone, it's a seriously attractive option Read full review |
If you're looking for a low cost, pay as you go handset, then the Orange Berlin is definitely worth checking out. It looks great, has loads of impressive features and doesn't cost the Earth. Only the short battery life lets it down slightly Read full review |
The Nokia 6303 Classic lives up to its name by refining the best features of the phones of yesteryear, and packing them into a solid case that's lovely to hold. It's a perfect phone for anyone who wants easy calling, texting and music for a low price, and is happy to forgo high-end features like GPS and Wi-Fi Read full review |

Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks

Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
BlackBerry Bold 9700
Has everything that makes the BlackBerry format great, but other smart phones offer more innovation
