To be honest, it is a bit pointless asking on a mainly American site. Your best bet will be here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=80
If you want my opinion though, the cheapest. Phones are pointless when they give you all this s***.
To be in the (sad) in crowd you need bluetooth and a Camera with millions of pixels that the phone can't display on its low res, few colours screen.

Hello,
A lot of the mobile phones in England are locked to a specific operator.
By the by...http://www.gsmarena.com is a good place to read reviews and specs of the latest phones.
What tariff do you want to use? Pay as you go, contract, or just the phone?
Unfortunately, most good phones which expandable memory are price £150+. However, what about these on pay as you go...
But if you're willing to stretch it, I really really really encourage you to buy this phone and forget about all the others above!!!:
These are the current deals I could find. There's actually quite alot! Hope this helps.

- BenQ-Siemens E61 - http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_payg_details.asp?itemkey=150875&st=215
£79.95 on virgin from phones4u.
Specs and reviews here: http://www.gsmarena.com/benq_siemens_e61-1502.php. It supports MicroSD cards and the specs are ok. I'm not sure if it's available on other networks, and at that price either. In my opinion, Virgin isn't as good as say, Vodaphone or O2.
There are also some good refurbished phones on the phones4u website. But depends on if your up for buying a refurbished phone.
- Samsung E370 - http://shop.o2.co.uk/shop/o2uk/jsp/handsets/viewHandsetDetails.jsp?prodID=consumer:SAM:E370:GROUP
£99.99 on O2 from O2 online shop.
Specs and reviews here: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_e370-1554.php
Okay, so no expandable memory (only 40MB internal). But good reviews, and has a 1.3 megapixel camera with flash and video capture. Plus it comes with a free bluetooth headset. You might survive with just 40MB, but soon you'll be struggling to find space for your photos and music.
- Samsung D500 - http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_payg_details.asp?itemkey=133162&st=215
£99.95 on O2 from phones4u.
Specs and reviews here: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_d500-900.php
This is better than the Samsung E370. Although the D500 doesn't have expandable memory, it does have a larger 96MB of internal memory. 1.3 megapixel camera with video capture capability and flash. It's not bad! You might be ok with 96MB of space if you use it sensibly.
- Nokia 6230i - http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/co...splay?S=40&PN=PAYGO&filter_partModel=NOK6230I
£109.95 on O2 from Carephone Warehouse.
Specs and reviews here: http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_6230i-1087.php
I have this phone (and I'm 'not in the sad crowd' either!). I'd only appear at the bottom compared to what my friends have. It's been out for a while, but it's popular amongst business people. 1.3 Megapixel camera with video capture, although no flash. Supports MMC cards. I bought it work £170 ealier this year! This is a good price for an expandable phone. However, the music player is extremely slow once you start putting loads of MP3 files onto the memory. Still I like using it.
Oh and another!...
- BenQ-Siemens EL71 - http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/co...isplay?S=40&PN=PAYGO&filter_partModel=SIEEL71
£109.95 on Orange from Carephone Warehouse.
Specs and reviews here: http://www.gsmarena.com/benq_siemens_el71-1499.php
Personally, I don't like the Orange network. However, this is a good deal. 1.3 Megapixel camera with video capture and flash. 16MB internal memory and expandable via MicroSD cards.
But if you're willing to stretch it, I really really really encourage you to buy this phone and forget about all the others above!!!:
[*]Sony Ericsson K750i - http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/co...splay?S=40&PN=PAYGO&filter_partModel=SOEK750I
£129.95 on O2 from Carephone Warehouse.
Specs and reviews here: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_k750-1090.php
This is an extremely good phone, and I was shocked to find it plunged down to this price! It was around £170 mark just recently. A whopping 2 megapixel camera with Autofocus, flash and very good video capture capabilities. Upgradeable firmwire for free via the sony ericsson website using a USB cable, means that bugs are ironed out. They released several upgrades already. Superb music player interface and 3D java. Very nice interface and icons, plus you can create your own custom themes. Nice design, 38MB internal memory and has a memory stick duo pro expansion slot on the side!
The best thing about the K750i is that you can upgrade the firmware to make the phone a W800i (http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_w800-1089.php) for a nominal charge using a third party service over the Internet. My bro and some of my friends have done this, as well as swapped the K750i housing to the W800i housing, meaning a W800i for a much cheaper price than what it's actually being sold for!
These are the current deals I could find. There's actually quite alot! Hope this helps.
