| Review summary | The LG KG290 is one of the best-looking budget handsets on the market and it's certainly not lacking in features thanks to the MP3 player, FM tuner and Bluetooth support. However, the phone is somewhat marred by its poor battery life 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 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 |
The Sagem my401C is a good looking handset and offers a great range of features for the price. It's a shame it doesn't come with stereo headphones, but it's still a very good budget option Read full review |
